Mushroomhead

So I was taken out to Ohio for the Mushroomhead Annual Halloween Show... It was really awesome. I saw Blue Felix live and had never seen them before (which is rather surprising).  Here check them out...

They were pretty awesome! We actually went to the Slaughter House Roadshow event the night before so we did get to see everyone twice. The first show was at the Alrosa and their lead singer Toxsick Tripp literally tore the roof down... Seriously he hung upside down from the rafters of the venue and accidentally tore down the roof! Anyway, they put on the best live show I've seen since... Well, Mushroomhead.  Plus Toxsick pulls off Thrift Store Chic better than anyone since the early 90's!

Then the bands always hang out at the merch counters at these shows so I got my little cousin closer to the bands. Here is us with Blue Felix, some of the nicest guys too! Go figure...

 Me with Toxsick Tripp...

 Bandi with Toxsick and the X-hail...

And of course who doesn't get some merch and signatures when you meet a group you enjoy? Support the art!

Then we saw Psycostick live who got big off of this song...

They were hilarious live and were highly entertaining. We of course bought the Beer is good album and the new album Space Vampires VS. Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D. Got them signed and hung out with the band who were also just as nice. Especially the bassist Matty (AKA Moose!) a fellow Juggalo and overall nice guy. Whoop Whoop!

Check out this music video with a song from their new album...

And another favorite of mine...

And of course pics of us getting closer to the band...

Then came Mushroomhead! They are amazing live, Their set this year was amazing and getting to see them in their home town was nothing but inspiring! I have a large amount of respect for these guys and have been listening to them since at least the fifth grade!

Here check them out...

Then of course you've got to see their set this year!

We even got to see J Man play live with them! The original lead singer! Which was an amazing event for me!

We did get to meet the band and get autographs to. We got gold tickets so we were there for the meet and greet and even got to see them do sound check in person. Over all very over stimulating for me. Not to mention I finally acquired an official Mushroomhead mask!

Here pics...

 And I even let Bandi try it on...

Over all the whole trip was really great and being able to share it with and inspire my cousin who is working to become a musician was really amazing. She got to see them play live in their town amongst the hardcore fans that made them who they are. She also got to see how they support independence and true art and give local bands a chance to open for them no matter what style or genre which is also very inspiring.

I want to thank all the bands who put so much work forth to entertain us fans. Who stay true to their art and never forget where they came from. You guys are truly f****g awesome! Respect!
