Aww,I missed Armalite 'cause I didn't want to try to walk the 16 blocks from 2nd st. bakery.
But matt&kim,this bike is a pipe bomb,the swellers,&fake problems were definitely amazing.

Small Brown Bike. closiing with Table For Four, Bury You in Me and Holiday, goddamn that was amazing

Witches With Dicks were OUTSTANDING, Ringers were great, The Conniption Fits were a blast and New Bruises sounded awesome.

Avail ripped... I was just blown away...

Close seconds include Bomb the Music Industry, Dear Landlord, The Larry Arms, D4, and a couple more...

The one band that i "discovered" that blew me away though was The Anchor... I was walking past 1982 and was drawn inside...

Anyone not answering the Monotonix obviously missed them. Future Virgins, Radon, and North Lincoln (particularly at the house show) were fucking rad also.

SBB and Gaslight Anthem literally rocked my cock off. I look like a Ken doll down there now. Not to mention PMFS,
Guff, The Horror, La Salle and Dead To Me. Unfortunately I missed Nothington. If anyone has video of it please post it somewhere.

yeah.

i have to add Pretty Boy Thorson & The Falling Angels. i was surprised they put them at 1982 in the afternoon. these guys shoulda been at side bar at night like on the modern machines night or at market street sunday night. that's the only reason i can think of people not checking them out.

Small Brown Bike shredded my soul. One of the best sets I've ever seen.

Affirmative Action Jackson played an underappreciated set on Sunday afternoon, and Ringers were pretty damn awesome on Saturday early.

i saw AAJ last year and they were awesome. i did not see ringers at the Fest, but when they played the pre-fest show in tampa shit was nuts !! i loevd it.

Naked Raygun...damn, I finally got to check them off the list. they were great. life-long dream to see them live finally came true.

Avail...my jaw is still on the floor.

Seaweed
Ergs!
Conniption Fits
Toys That Kill
Armalite
OWTH

I'm really happy that my hometown of St. Louis got properly represented this year at the Fest with awesome fucking sets by both The Humanoids and Cross Examination.

Let's also hear it 1982, first time I've been there and I thought it was a great club, Nintendo behind the bar, FUCK YEAH.

haha yeah they were awesome...i kept picking up barstools and passing them around above peopls heads while they were playing...and the side bar got pissed at me...then when they told everyone to kneel down i passed one around while people were sitting..good times.

My favorite sets:

American Steel
D4
New Bruises
Ringers
Marked Men
Gaslight Anthem
Ergs
