924 Gilman
Berkeley, California

Bands: Once a Hero, Shotwell, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, The Devil is Electric and The Bananas.



We finally made it to the coast after a long week of hard drives and shows every night. One phrase to some up our time at the legendary 924 Gilman...Best show ever.



No wonder so many awesome bands got their start at this place. It was the coolest place we have ever played. Lots of kids showed up (about 160 some from the door count), and they all were totally into it.



The other bands were awesome too, Devil is Electric and This Bike is a Pipe Bomb were touring together and were equally fabulous. The bananas played last and were great too.



Despite another long day of driving, we played really well to. We actually sold a bunch of CD's which was really flattering considering we are basically nobodies out here.

Gilman was really good to us and we'd like to thank them for that. The other bands were really generous to us to and helped us get a little extra money from the show. Everybody was just way more supportive than we could have expected. We'll definitely come back, and we hope you do too!
