Battle Wounds

I attended their show at THE ECHO in Los Angeles in March. The show was amazing and it was super refreshing to see some Angelenos dancing, let alone moshing! The show was concluded though with the lead singer singing an entire song on the bar and then taking the garnish tray off of it and pelting the crowd with cherries, limes, and martini olives. After the show a friend of mine came up to me bleeding profusely from his skull. Apparently he had been kicked in the head in the melee. I expected him to be at least a little miffed by the situation since it was on the verge of needing stitches. Instead he wore the gouge as a badge of honor and talks about his scar to this day with a sense of proud entitlement. Only at a Horrors show…
