Weekly Post Oct 25-31
Friday night after class my friends and I loaded up and headed to Poplar Bluff to see probably one of the last few shows we will see at The Well. Molotov Solution, American Me, and Upon a Burning Body were the bands on the list to play and all have been some favorites of mine for some time. When we got to The Well there was not a crowd at all, possibly only 30 to 40 people, and we were informed that American Me had dropped the bill because they had gotten snowed in. I was pretty disappointed but figured the other two bands would make up for them not being there.
Two local bands started off the show. The first band’s set was cut short because of technical difficulties and I stepped outside for the second one because of lack of interest. Upon a Burning Body (http://www.myspace.com/uponaburningbody) was next and they definitely put on an excellent show. They brought some killer breakdowns and fast paced riffs with wicked blastbeats. I was impressed by their performance and would for sure see them again.
The fourth, and last band (really short show), was Molotov Solution (http://www.myspace.com/molotovsolution). These guys were very professional, they had top notch gear and electronic effects to make the most of their songs. They had an excellent set and even did an encore song, which was my favorite by them. I was very impressed and hope they come back again.
It’s such a “hit and miss” with good shows around here. There are some days where The Well can’t fit everybody in the building and some days where the crowd is maybe 20 to 40 people. I guess that’s why The Well is having to shut down and the end of this areas music scene is coming closer.
