So when I heard about Proseed and Fortified PhonetX throwing a show at Shadow Lounge I could think of every excuse not to go so I could stay home and save money. But when my brothers in arms were frantically sending out texts last minute to avoid a flopped show I couldn't help but go out and support them when I'd rather be sitting in my lonely apartment listening to rats shit in my silverware drawer. Not to mention one of the texts I got said the $5 cover was reduced to $3 for fellow artists, and I assumed I'd be able to get a little buzz up by stealing drinks off of rich girls while they weren't looking.
I arrived to the show two and a half sets in(missing Frigid Giant, Dos Noun, and part of Proseed), and to my dismay wasn't able to get in at the rumored reduced rate. No worries though, because I went out to try and salvage my friends potentially small show, one $5 cover charge at a time. Also to my dismay half the girls there were in some way related to Moemaw Naedon, making it a little uncomfortable to steal drinks from them in case I got caught.
Either way, I showed up just in time to catch my first show experience with Steddy P. And although I was crabby and sober, the dude from Kansas City killed it. Steddy P's set was super enthusiastic and you could tell he was more than happy to be in Pittsburgh for the first time. One of my favorite lines of his that really stuck with me was,"work hard, play hard, party hard, fuck hard... until we reach the graveyard." He ended his set by inviting everyone in the audience to go do shots with him. If only I could have...
He's got free shit online, and seems to be the touring type, check it out, then don't be a scrub like me and buy his shit when he rolls through your town and do some shots with him.
