3/28/08: Fu Manchu/Burning Brides/Max Cady

This is kind of late but I have to atleast mention this show on here.It was at the House of Blues in Dallas a couple weeks ago. Pretty neat place. I don't know how any of the other ones look, but it had some cool decor and such.Local band Max Cady came out and placed some great stoner rock. I had never heard of them before but they were quite good. My ears were already ringing after their set. I bought both of their cds after the show and meet a couple of the guys.Burning Brides was next. Lots of energy from them, especially their bass player. I had heard a couple of their songs before but never realized how heavy they were. I thought beforehand that they might not quite fit the bill but I was happily proven wrong.We got to the front rail for Fu Manchu. I was headbanging to all of their songs. Their drummer was amazing (and wore a CoC shirt), and their frontman would often come over in front on top of us, shred, and sweat on us (there was basically no gap between the stage and the crowd). There was probably about 45 seconds between their set and encore, upon which they took some requests from the crowd. Very good stuff.Overall it was probably one of the better shows I've been to. Definitely one of the most rockin'.Here's some videos:Max Cady:Burning Brides:Fu Manchu:(This is actually from the show. The guy who video-ed this was a couple people to my right.)\m/
