SHOW REVIEWS by The Tics
WINTER FEST - it was our first show, and and we had alot fun
RYAN'S HOUSE - Well, only 10 people came. Bands backed out at last minute. However, despite all that, the show went on
an hour late with United Dub playing first then us. Athough no vocals, they were good. Bryce and Tamer spent the whole time
throwing couches at eachother and fighting.
RYAN'S HOUSE like for the second time two weeks later - well all hell broke loose when the first band backed out
and then ricks band was late and then Ruben showed up late. Well the crowd was bigger like 30 people were there and it sucked
because of the delay and then the p.a. fucked up, it sounded like a fan was put in front of it. And that was our worst performance.
ALOT OF FUCKING UP.
UDALL - Wait, . . . that was a show?
The Show at Highland Vista Park - well it was our first paying show, we (the band) got payed 50 dollars total and ate
a bunch of food so i guess it was all good. Oh and the pigs came to stop us, so they left and we started playing again, yep
pissing people off is the life
HARRIGAN - I guess all i could say is that you should have watched...it sucked. We might in the future sell the tapes,
like when we are better and feel like laughing while people waste their money.
The show with Ronald McDonald and liquid christmas on DMAFB - HA!
skrappys - yeah it was good we had a good turn out of people especially for our first show there.
Lindseys party - we didnt play, Ruben went though to see anna his woman and Ian and Ryan went to La Palome to check out
babes for the weekend which really pissed off Ruben but i heard the other band sucked hard.
DMAFB - that never happened thank fuckin god we were so fucking tired, we stayed up all night before and then went to
ask play at like 4 in the morning instead but they said they would give us another show.
Skrappys again? - i guess we were supposed to play a show in june sometime but no one told us and then ruben saw homeless
at the mall and told him that we had a show and missed it...i dont know i'm fucking confused.
Rubens house - no one knew about this show because i posted it four days after the show. but it went good ruben pushed
a little girl and she fell into his pool MXC style during "DONT YOU WORRY" ryan couldn't sing he was laughing so
hard and same with everyone else.
Lakins Party - well we were going to play in the backyard but the neighbors complained before the party started because
we were practicing before the show getting everything readdy and then the cops showed up so we moved inside and
everything got turned really low so no one could hear and Ryan also was drugged up on sudafed because Lakins
cats made his eye swell up but you know it wasnt our best but it wasnt our worst we got to play atleast 5-6 songs.
The Boardwalk Cafe - Awesome Awesome show thatnx to everyone for being so cool there that is probably our favorite show
so far it was the funnest is all i can say. during our set someone broke a table so each band got 10 bucks taken out of the
money we recieved hopefully we can do more shows like that one.
The Boardwalk Again (a week later) - it was good well actually from us on was good the gay eamo metal pop punk fags blew
like the wind on my asshole. Infected kicked ass and they made us look bad but thats fine it wasnt our worse show anyways,
the ronald mcdonald show on the base was seriously our worse i mean come on ruben wasn't even at that one he was at
driving school for gods sake? but anyways just kill me already
The Boardwalk III - FUCK THE BOARDWALK. Cannible was being a wanker. He kicked 1 song 2 many off and out and the infected
and us i think the mundays left and i dont think any of us can play there anymore because we left.
Pool Party - Never Happened.
Skrappys nov. 5 '04 - couldnt make it because ruben had to work.
Compass - ruben had to work and the dude (trevor of 7 days of may) who put the show together was out of town.
Skrappys Nov. 12 '04 - yeah like we didn't do too well. people said we did good so i guess we did good it wasn't our
best but it wasn't our worst. Line of Fire played they're doin' pretty good but they are shifting to the new hardcore side
a little. Tailgunner sucked.
skrappys dec. 3rd - canceled
compass highschool dec. 3rd - bad ass show if you weren't there then sucks for you infected was awesome mundays was awesome
old man was awesome and we had just one of the funnest shows yet
skrappys jan. 15 - it was weird. we played last. the sophistifucks were kick ass.
ruben's party - the guitarer for the anti-tics was fucked up so they fucked up. supposedly, "you guys did good"
says holly. the party was insane afterwards eventhough it was really small.
p.v. winterfest - not going to happen or did not happen however you are looking at it. ian didnt get the papers signed
on time because the teacher who was getting us the show was being a slut.
rock 'm billiards - pretty good. there was a fight outside while old man was playing so everyone went outside and old
man was pretty lonely. sorry old man.
Compass "battle" - a fish head was thrown at us haha. our mics got cut and same with the mundays. the okmoniks shoulda
won. i broke the trophy on the floor and threw it in the trash.
Skrappys - warsaw didnt show up. none of the mundays groupies were there. jonny munday looked like a mix between hitler
and charlie chaplin. the mundays need new material. it was an alright night. the suicide robots were good.
Ryan's (and cameron's) Birthday Show/Party - there wer'nt too many people there, i was surprised the okmoniks still
played and stuck around while we played. maybe it was because they wanted free food. it was the amish twats first show
and they fucked up bad. suicide robots did good i enjoyed them.
Skrappys PUNK FOOLS DAY - the touring band got sick, infected broke up, zach from the amish twats had to work, so it
was us and suicide robots. there was like no one there. the suicide robots have fernando from infected on second guitar now
it sounds sweet. we got cut off from our set for some stupid reason, oh well no biggy.
compass april 13th - ok all i have to say is all the bands that night kicked ass theanks to the suicide robots for playing
unexpectedly you guys kick ass, the okmoniks are gods of garage rock, and the sophistifucks, oh my god you guys fucking blew
the doors off the whole fucking building, and then there was the fight if you were there then you know what happened and if
you werent there then ask someone who was. i'm done.
Blaise's Birthday Party - BADASS...General Warning you guys kicked ass...The Okmoniks you kicked ass...and Blaise...you
stink...Happy Brithday YOU SUCK!!!.
Human Rights Show - Canceled, too bad i bet it would have been a fun show.
show for kates bday - canceled because ian got hurt skateboarding and was in the hospital.
Skrappys - awesome show with the secretions and ashtray and other bands, another dramatic fight broke out right after
our set, and we went out to ihop with the secretions and ashtray, good fun.
Boardwalk - canceled
Sierra Vista - our first out of town show, was really fun, hope we can do more out of towners and on top of that just
more shows.
not so Pool Party! for christin - power kept cutting out and fucking up about everyone of our songs, but thats fine it's
a punk show right, arent the bands supossed to sound like shit at a punk show?
Solar Culture - it was fun and we didnt sound bad, too bad not many people showed up. partyline was fun too i'm glad
we got to play with them.
the rock - could have been better if the owners weren't suck fucking lame-o's, fuck that place.
Toxic Ranch Record's/BAM Fest - FUN, people enjoyed us, AND i didnt have to go up to people and sell or give away our
merch, the only sucky part was when my strings broke on both guitars and i had no choice but to mess up the solo on censorship,
oh well it was worth the punishment, go buy swing ding amigo's shit at toxic, you'll enjoy.
Skrappys - Good fun, i wasnt bored at a ll at this show, which is good, because you should see some of the shows we've
played before, this one was really enjoyable and it shall remain in my mind as a badass shiw, and on top of that we did awesome
with our new second guitarist Bobby.
Bisbee, Az - It was fun, fun show, we'll be back. General Warning was badass. and yeah thas all i have to say.
Bisbee II - much more fun, the show was at an ex new york dolls members venue, he let everyone get fucked up during
and after the show, the cops there are anus', and so are the local fags, but other then those two gay things, everything was
badass. oh yeah and we played an 18 song set and sadly bobby wasnt there to play it with us.
Udall Park - we played a short set, but we made it well worth it, we also played last somehow, and once again
we sadly played without bobby. all in all it was fun as hell, especially the big ass fire that songed the hairs off my
hand.
Tierra Del Sol Park - FREE FOOD, FREE EEGEES, little freshmen girls supposedly watching us...100 ft away.
Udall - SDA played, then Roman Holiday was about to strike their first chord of rock and roll fury when the pigs showed
up.
DRY RIVER - really fun, environment is badass, no HATE, the owner Eric was really cool, Rally The Fray got mad that no
one was really into them. Afterwards we stayed and hung out for about an hour, maybe more, and played soccer and went through
the free shop. all in all, it was a real great experience.
Travis' House - BADASS, first of all, sda didnt come for any of the mini tour like planned. when we got there we
skated their fucked up half pipe and hung out for hours before the show, ruben (the brown knight of the
round table) got wasted out of his mind before we played, and ian got pretty stoned with cheetoh (adrian), liza (ex-singer),
and Lin-z. so we waited hours and hours till the equipment showed, and all that showed up was a stolen drumset and more alcohol.
so we set up our equipment, in other words: the stolen drumset, and all other equipment (mics, guitar, and bass) into the
mixer and out to our "p.a." so we sounded like total diarhea, but everyone dug it and had a blast. lin-z fell flat on her
ass climbing up the side of the pipe to get some pictures while ruben is wasted playing bass running up and down the side
of the ramp. afterwards, we watched baseketball and passed out, then a few hours later some more people come over and start
humping everyone. one cleans ryans socks with a wet-nap while still on his feet, all of our "crew" (Cheetoh, ian, ruben, ryan,
lin-z, zach, and liza) smashes up in the corner of the room where the heater was, which is only about
five feet wide. then someone puts on this vietnam war porno with a bunch of flying asains, ron geremy, and ron geremy's balls,
which wasnt the ideal thing to want to be watching at the time. like i said BADASS, we'll be back!
YUMA - Captain Sickness was really rad, sda wasnt there, and rotten youth were alright, i cant beleive captain sickness
thought we were better then Old Man. we shall return there as well.
Boarwalk Cafe - havn't we already said FUCK THE BOARDWALK, we shoulda stuck to our word before wanting to play there
again, besides, we didnt play there because hannible the cannible got the place closed down a few days before hand for not
paying some bills, JACKASS.
RYAN AND CAMERON'S - SKATE, JAM, FUCK, HAMBURGERS!!! is all that comes to mind!
Destinees Party - there was a water jumping castle, and free food, the music was alright, all in all it was fun.
Chris Asters Party - was fun for what we were there for, we missed half of Drizzles set sadly, we had to leave to play
timmies benefit show (read below). but we came back and ate sloppy joes and cake afterwards, we love you chris. oh yeah, we
covered Fox News too!
Timothy John Crawford's benefit show at skrappys - it was really badass, i think Tim would have had a badass time, it
was just too awesome, thanks for everyone who came out to support him as well, we love you tim! R.I.P. man!
Dry River - The PA was fucking up and everyhting kept falling apart, it was still a really sweet ass show though, Bam
Bam's (ex-original JFA band member) band played, he was one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet, alot of fucking weird ass
stories too, crazy motherfucker. Giant Haystacks we're crazy too. not the funnest show but interesting, very.
Queen Creek part 2 - FUN AGAIN!!! another badass drunk ruben moment, and the crowd was bigger! Cy threw up during our
set, because he was getting really into it! REAL fun!
VFW - wow. ryan got pulled over about 2 minutes away from the venue and got a damn speeding ticket for going 11 over
the damn speed limit of 65, how fucking lame! the show was pretty fun though, but there was gay ass security. i guss it got
"out of hand" after we left. so there wont be anymore shows there. shitty huh?
Ramp House - CANCELLED DAMNIT!!!! GAHHHHH! sorry Short Fuse, we must look like dumb fuck flakes because we couldnt get
you the show that day. we hope we can help you out next time around, sorry.
Artfest 13 - i guess metal heads like us now. we met a bunch of cool metal head dudes, and some other crazy old punk
dudes.
Queen Creek part 3 - not as fun as usual, there was a bunch of drama, and no one really seemed into the music, like they
were there to party only or somehting, pretty lame, it was SDA's last show (for now), and it was Whats Left?'s first show,
the music was fun minus the stupid "hardcore" band that played, they brought a bunch of hate, stupid emo kids.
Artfest 14 - The cops shut it down 2 songs into the first band's set. LAME!
Skrappys - CHEAP sex and scarred backed out, but we still rocked out, it was pretty fun.
Dry River - all i can say is fuck 10 year old rockstars, and old man was cool.
Skrappys - rick broke his leg and backed out, and we did horribly but it was still really cool, atleast people move a
little, and the genetaliens did a cool set.
Toxic Ranch - Hot Trash played in the tics place.
Dry River - "Bonecutter" (ruben and ryan playing covers) played instead of the tics.
Prescott - WE PLAYED IN A BARN! we gave some limited edition tics shirts away (only 4 in existence) the other bands played
behind a building next to the catalyst (anarchy info shop) with no PA. D/E broke up right before we moved the show so they
didnt play, sad. still badass! and if you go there check out there gnarly skatepark!
Dry River - this show was AWESOME! genitals was doing some handplants during SKATE168 and people were really cool that
night and the bands were really diverse to eachother, it was great. i hope to play millions of more shows just like that one.
Artfest - once again we played without Rick, he was "ASLEEP" oh well it was still fun.
STAY TUNED!
