DEVILCAKE - BEAUTIFUL CHAOS
We got this gig because of Tom Foolery and The Mistakes couldn't make the show. We are grateful to them for getting us out of Columbus.
We played first. The only people in the audience were the guys from Beautiful Chaos and a few of their friends. I think it was no more than 10 people. This was the introduction of Todd 'The Sound Effects Man' Skaggs. Todd had a laptop wired up to an amp and was playing little snippets of this and that here and there. We were anticipating using BC's mics, however, they only brought one, so unfortunately Nancy sat out for this one. We pretty much got up there, played our shit and got off the stage. I wasn't feeling all too well, so I don't remember much other than it wasn't a horrible show.
Gourley and I stayed and watched a little bit of Beautiful Chaos before grabbing a fistful of dollars and bolting out there door. For there not being hardly anyone at this show, it still paid much more than either Mike or I imagined. We figured on $5 dollars. We got a little bit more than that. Just a little bit though. Still, cash is cash and the band can use it later for some of the new props.
We played (using the set lists intended for the Midgard show):
MARSHMALLOW
WIENERMOBILE
SACRIFICIAL LEG OF LAMB
HANDS OFF MY OREOS
PIZZA PARTY
CEREAL & BEER
DEEZ NUTS
SALAD BAR MAN
I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT SATAN

TOM FOOLERY AND THE MISTAKES - DEVILCAKE - CASK - CC MANDED - and maybe a couple of others that I forgot to write down
That's right folks we played SECOND! If you've ever seen us, then you know that we usually are on first.
This show was the debut of MCBs Flying V Jackson _AND_ Ian's Stick. I on the other hand lended to the chaos by forgetting to bring in the set list from the car. I was having a tough time getting the drumset together and totally. It wasn't until I was asking myself, "What comes after Wienermobile?" that I, and the rest of the band, realized my mistake. So we all shrugged our shoulders and I called out what I thought was right. In all honestly, I thought it made the show a little more enjoyable, just because.
I think this is the most fun I've had playing with Devilcake. I wasn't really nervous, I wasn't pissed off at being blown away by feedback, I didn't play all the songs 500 miles per hours. I even looked up quite a few times. I had fun. Occasionally my arms started aching (a sign of not hardly practicing at all in the past 6 months) and for the last 3 songs I felt like I was dragging a little bit, but overall, I was just happy. The people at Midgard were actually receptive this time, clapping and cheering and shit. I think that this is because we were on a better bill than last time. I think the last Midgard show we did was mostly punk/'Let's Get High' bands. This was supposedly a more "metal/goth" oriented bill.
The first act up was Tom Foolery & The Mistakes. One of the guys in the band literally made a mistake... the bassist just didn't show up. So it was just the acoustic guitarist and a drummer with the weirdest setup I think I have ever seen. Facing the kit from the crowd, from right to left, he had a snare, a high tom, a high hat with tambouring attached, the floor tom and a crash cymbal. My hat is off to them for sucking it up and playing anyways... and doing quite well. For supposedly being a goth bill, I liken Tom Foolery to Elvis Costello meets Weezer. It was rather enjoyable. They had a song about indigestion and another ballady song where he mentioned Winger. Again, it was entertaining in a good way. Hopefully we can get on a bill with them sometime.
The band that followed us was Cask. Heavy Metal, pure and simple. I liken them to Slayer (who they list as one of their influences). They weren't too bad. I didn't stay to hear the rest of the set. Thanks to the dude from CC Manded for stopping and talking to us. Give us a shout later, man. It would be cool to be on a bill with either of those two as well.
I think the order was as follows:
Marshmallow
Wienermobile
Sacrificial Leg Of Lamb
Hands Of My Oreos
Cereal And Beer
Pizza Party
Deez Nuts
Red Pop
I Can't Believe It's Not Satan
