Here is what I posted in the blog on Headless/Heartless' web page at myspace.com. I felt just pasting it here would be simpler than having a link, or trying to re-type it.
This was one of the craziest shows ever, but we'll start from the beginning. Everything was loaded up and at the venue around nine pm. When we arrived we were told that our set got moved to the last spot at one-thirty am. This upset most of the band, but we went with it. All the bands who played kicked ass and the art work was very good also. At around one a.m. we again talked to the promoter because there were still three bands left. He said we would have to wait for the small band, (I can't recal who it was) on the small stage to finish and then set up there and wait for Left Hand Black to finish their set before we could play and might not get to play at all. This pissed all of us off to the point that some were about to get violent. We talked to Left Hand Black and they agreed to do a sort of tag thing. We moved a couch and set up on and around some pool tables and just started playing over the other small band. This caused some minor chaos, but was going rather well. Left Hand Black played two songs before we were totally set up. (it was a horrible set up and our sound wasn't mixed well at all) We played our first two songs back to back which were Manic Upsing/Sunday Drive and Broken Record. Left Hand Black played another song, then we played our White Stripes cover of Black Math. At the very end of that song, Dusty's cymbol rack broke beyond repair. A bar stool was set up as a leg for it and a friend of the band, Mike, held the rack stable. Left Hand Black played two more songs as we scramble to rig that up. We started playing Blessed Be The Rebel On Dry Dead Ground and got to the break down when the owners of the bar made us stop playing. We were still in a rather pissy mood, so instead of starting to break down, we just started playing Street Transfusion to finish out our set. The owners tried their damnedest to stop us, Daniel even got popped in the mouth by his own mic. They ended up flipping a circut breaker or something to stop us. Dusty kept playing for a while, but eventually stopped as well. (you can't unplug a drum set) The crowd was in an uproar. Beer was flung every where and our equipment was all but demolished. Both Daniel and myself (b.Dead) were slightly beat up, but that is what happens when you dance with the crowd at a metal show. We got paid our $40 regardless and the owners told us they loved what we did and definately wanted us back. They were acting as if the whole rebelion anarchy thing was staged. Whatever. Everybody from Headless/Heartless would like to give a big fuck you to the promoter for over booking and bad planning. We would also like to give a big thank you to all the people from out of town who came to see us play and our appologies to everyone who came out to see us but had to leave early. There will be more shows and more chaos to come.

I want to personally thank Emilyrocks and Inkncarrots for coming down/up to see us and I would also like to send my appologies to Inkncarrots because she had to leave before we played. Most of the performance was recorded, but the chaos/anarchy part wasn't. Some things that I left out of the blog thing:
Dusty's broken cymbol rack was taken out front of the club by the crowd and thrown into walls, cars and almost through a window. Patrick's foot switch was destroyed. My amp head and my real head had beer spilled on them. Daniel's face got hurt. I almost broke my ankle and I think all of our instrument and speaker cables are pretty fuct. $40 might replace the foot-switch. It definately won't replace the cymbol rack and chords. Daniel's face and my ankle will heal. I'll also post pics as they turn up.
Bleh
P.S. PFR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(even though we aren't a punk band)
I'm adding to this because I want the post to be up longer, but I also wanted to say that I added some photos in my Headless/Heartless photo thing of the show and I have a new photoset on Suicideboys. Here's a link: Amadeo: Blading
And Finally, Happy Yule.
