8/21 - Turn up the heat 2009! Poughkeepsie, NY


Coming off of a day without a show, we were all very stoked to be going to Poughkeepsie. We had most of Pennsylvania to traverse before we reached New York State. It was a reasonable drive; only about 7 hours, so we had plenty of time since we left at about 8 AM. We stopped at a McDonald’s because we were in need of some wi-fi. It just so happens that we stumbled upon the classiest and most fancy McDonalds that has ever existed. The place had a fenced in patio with chairs, faux wood floors, chic looking furniture. Everything about the place was extravagant for McDick’s standards.

We got our blogs posted and Karl satisfied his bastardly urge for double cheeseburgers. Mostly, we were just excited to be back in the northeast. Pennsylvania and New York aren’t necessarily in New England, but all the most important things that we’ve missed about the weather and atmosphere is similar enough to light all of us up. We basically drove straight through to Poguhkeepsie without making many stops. It was a nice enough drive to do so, we listened to classical music nearly the whole way there.




YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What are you looking at? 
We got to the venue, the Pickwick Pub, around 6 o'clock, and immediately started talking with the two other touring bands. Sapremia and Nightfire. They are all awesome dudes, and we hit it off immediately. They've been on tour together for the past week and a half and are tearing it up all over the place. They were in Canada and recently came back to the northeast US. Truly an honor to play with those dudes.

The room was small and intimate, and it had a great vibe to it. The PA system was so-so, but everyone was still happy.
Nightfire!
The show started off with Cooking With Betty White, a deathcore band who was unfortunate enough to be the one act of the night during which the PA system was turning on and off. Next up was Roargh, some badass death metal. Then came Snapring, the aggressive metal machine! Autolatry took the stage next, and people dug it! We had a great time playing there. After us was Nightfire, a melodic, technical death metal band. Super great musicians and super great dudes! check them out! Closing the night was some quality old school death metal, Sapremia, from NJ. Kickass bands!

We owe a special shoutout to Andy from Nightfire, he is one of the funniest dudes we've met on the road and lifted out spirits while we were uncertain of our day's plans! You fucking rock dude! We hope to meet up with you guys again since you're on the east coast. To all the readers out there, check out Nightfire! They're excellent and will be blowing up before you know it!
