no I never did but I remember it and know its signifigance... A few of my buddies used to talk about how awesome it was in its heyday.

I barely ever went into Boston for shows as a young un... Used to go to vfw shows and parish hall shows because nothing else was around

That's not what I meant. I meant his writing style and senses of sarcasm and misanthropy are similar to mine.

The Rat as a venue was not that great. The shows there were better because it was a better time for music.

kevord is right the rat sucked. If there had ever been a fire there, everyone would have died. Every use the back stairs there? Ever seen "security" pull someone out the back stairs while beating someone? It was like getting pulled through a coffin.

Also, there was always water from the toilets traveling through the show room into a drain in the middle of the floor.
Still, the shows there were awesome.

oh and the rat had a pole like right in the middle of the floor that you couldn't even hide behind cause people would circle pit around it.

Ironically the people in legitimately successful bands like Earth Crisis and Bloodlet never gave a fuck and were much more down-to-earth than their entry-level counterparts.


lol @ Earth Crisis not being rock stares

Blog sounds like it was written by a total jackoff, I was barely able to read any of it.

the rat had all those little idiosyncratic attributes which made it a legend. jealous of the crowd that's 35+ and experienced it in it's heyday.

Only kpanzer is real for playing there

The guy does seem like a jackoff but alot of what he wrote is true for the scene in Mass. during the mid 90's.

There was some good hardcore shows at Pearl Street in North Hampton in the mid 90's( Life Of Agony, Madball/Merauder). Is that venue still in existence under another name?

I thought it was still called pearl st but shows are infrequent.

I have a flyer of unearth opening for XFragmentX @ the Espresso Bar hidden away somewhere. I also have a DAT of Cave-In at The Space from 1998 2 weeks before their second album came out. Come to think of it I have a crap-load of old demos on tape including Driven's first demo. Driven was Blood Has Been Shed before they changed their name.

Oh, and the "Sergeant D" who wrote this thing is the same one from Metal Inquisition and Stuff You Will Hate; total douchenozzle, terrible taste in music and in life.

M.O.D. and Toxic Narcotic with like NOBODY FUCKING THERE at the Rat, funnest show. For some reason Bill Toxic had a shop vac and was destroying the shit out of it for the amusement of like 5 patrons.

Sometimes I think Bill only does Mouth Sewn Shut because he secretly misses when T.N. was like the most unpopular band in Boston.

How about 6L6, w/Sam Black Church and Stompbox... hmmmmmmm

ha, that's funny. I first saw TN at the Middle East upstairs with Bricklayer and a really young Converge back when they were stereotypical toughcore, before Bannon became a tattoo casualty. There was some mohawked fellow there who kept slamming to Bricklayer and was getting pumelled by the hardcore goons. That was my first club show, I think it was early 1993. Bill was handing out fliers outside for a show they were playing with Candy Striper Death Orgy and, I think, MELIAH RAGE!

The Nothings ended up playing a show in Worcester with TN. One of there butch girl fans beat up one of our young male fans, that was awesome.

I almost went to 6L6 at the rat, but I thought they were playing with 5 seconds expired or something like that.
