No Fun July 30th

La Chambre No Fun, A Casa No Fun, in all languages it means the same thing: The No Fun House. And Friday night, July 30th to be exact, The House of Supreme Malaise hosted three (count ’em) bands: Good News, Fox and the Law, and And I Was Like, What? (in that order).

The latter two on the previously stated bill hail all the way from Seattle, Washington. For every mile they drove, they rocked two.

The night started out with “math rock” gods Good News playing to a crowd yearning for more individuals. Those individuals didn’t come, but Good News gave absolutely no mind to this situation and played on. They played on to a fervent crowd of other bands and DIT junkies, a guitarist and a drummer, adding and subtracting their way into the night, raising the bar of rockin’ so high that I could see sweat beading off of the heads of the members of Fox and the Law. They would not be frightened.

Fox and the Law met this challenge with a smile, told us we were the best crowd ever, and managed to rock everyone’s pants off. So much so that I had to go walk all the way to bronson park just to cool myself down in the fountain. So much so that I missed “And I Was Like, What?”. It sucked so bad that I missed them, though, I actually had to physically get up and drive myself to Steak and Shake to ward off the depression.

Yeah, that was a Steak and Shake plug, they’ve got good food, you mad?

The point here really is that you should all come to more DIT shows. Because often times there are awesome kids throwing down awesome jams at awesome places all around this fair city, and I know for a fact that if they stopped, you’d all cry. The good news is that they wont stop. Check the bar on your right, it’s on fire.
