Non-Compliant Issue No. 1: Debut?

Here's the start of a series of reviews I'll be doing for Non-Compliant Issue (NCI) shows. I hope my aging memory can still remember these shit very well.

To start off, NCI started out as a brainchild of me and Zepol. Shows then were hard to come by so we thought of figuring out a solution on this matter. Organize our own shows on a frequent basis. We'll share the money equally and get to field in an equal number of bands that we like. The idea would be open who will be willing to participate in this project with the same principles. Money that will be earned (if any, uggh) will be used to fund for upcoming shows/tours. Pretty good idea? I suggest you start your own. It's fun, actually.

Back to the show, Zepol and me threw out some ideas for venues until he found this gem. Sizzling Stop. 24 hour eating place. Just below the LRT (Light Railway Station), Quirino Station. Very accessible venue. Put together some cool bands. Poster was made by D.Regala himself. Awesome.

Although not in the line-up, Bystorm actually kicked off this show because no one else wanted to play first. Fuck them. Hehe. Survival of the Fittest got the crowd jumping up and down. Sauna and Feud destroyed the pit once more. Richard Collier smoothed things out. Massive Kill Ratio pit. The Choke girls were on their game that night. Awesome sets all through out. If I'm right this was one of the shows that Deathwish Unit actually played. Lots of trading and merch action all through the night. Did not get to watch Co-Arse though. Religious Nightmare did not play that night. Uughh. Great debut show. Great rainy night on October...

If you got some thoughts and comments, hit up this blog. More to come.
