FACE TO FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After being a band for 25 years they still hit it pretty damn hard. Two of them are 50 now but they don’t really look it or show it in their performance. I even threw down in the pit for a couple songs! Haven’t done that since the interrupters show a few weeks ago!

DISCUSSION (13)

Sounds like an awesome show dude! I love seeing older bands for that reason, seems like the only ones who’ve stuck it out that long are lifers who’re completely committed to their music which gives their shows this intensity that’s completely different than the younger bands’. It’s like, you can tell this isn’t just something they do for fun on the weekends, at that point it’s something they’ve dedicated their lives to and have lived and breathed for decades so it’s that much more personal and intimate of a show.

Case in point I saw two bands a few weeks ago (Saint Vitus and The Skull, stone-cold legends in the metal scene) who both are going into their 5th decade of making music; dudes had grey hair and hunched backs and shit looking like homeless grandads but once they started playing it was like they were 20somethings again. Even more interesting (for lack of a better word) was seeing their vans outside the venue; two of the most influential and important bands in the scene didn’t have big tour buses or fancy MB Sprinters, just two ratty late 80's/early 90's conversion vans and box trailers for their gear like the hundreds of other small-time underground bands roll in. It was humbling in a way, seeing the sacrifices these dude have made for 40+ years just to play their music.

That is a name I have no heard in many years...

I loved Face to Face when I was in high school. I played in a shitty band with some friends and they were the the sound I was always trying to emulate.

Glad you had fun at the show, sounds like a blast!

Update: I’ve been listening to Face to Face all morning. I found the whole Live album on Youtoob and it’s hitting me right in the feels.

I discovered Face to Face after this girl I had a super major secret crush on gave me a copy of Live on cassette. I thought great, she must like me a lot, I’m in! So I asked her to homecoming, and she said no. Then she invited me to a bonfire party at her place, and at one point came up and sat next to me by the fire, put her head on my shoulder and told me “I wish i’d gone to homecoming with you.” So I tried to get a date with her, and she said no. That’s when I realized women were terrible, beautiful, evil creatures.

Gotta love/hate how music takes you back sometimes. Find one thing and it snowballs into three hours of nostalgia on youtube.

Meanwhile I’m sitting here on oppo while I wait for the parts washer to finish cleaning an oil pan.

I wish I had a parts washer. I mean, I do, but my wife get’s pissed when I use it “You’re going to ruin the dishes, you asshole. We’re going to lose our security deposit!”

Lol that’s what the bathtub is for!

It’s already occupied by the transmission

The solution to that is really quite simple. Get a bigger place with another bathroom!

We’re working on that one. Hoping to be out of the apartment by the end of the year.

Hopefully into a place with at least three bathrooms. That way you can use one each for engine and transmission if need be, and still have one for its more commonly used functions.

I’d settle for a 2 car garage. At least I got her onboard with that idea.
