This show was held at Keswick Democratic Club, and featured the following, with their songs on the cd:
- Stanzig - Soul On Fire, a danzig song (duh)
- Coliseum - a ramones cover, "Judy is a punk"
- Brothers of Conquest - Possessed By The Night
- Pocket Bomb - You May Call it Jail Time
- Christiansen - This Book I read
The show started around 6pm, and culminated with the spectacle that was Stanzig, performing Danzig songs, as well as 3-4 Misfits songs (although not any of the same that Ganthet covered the next night). There were a fair amount of kids there, and everyone had a pretty good time, even the straight edge kids that got doused with Sparks.

This show was held at the Swiss Hall, and enjoyed such things as Jared (of Ganthet) showing up 45 minutes or so late (they were supposed to open the show), Dylan breaking his hand so Big Jim had to play in Ganthet for him, the power going off during Lords, Bryan forgetting his half of the CDs at his house and having to leave during Canopic to get them, botched Black Flag songs, good times, and Lords playing an awkward version of "VKHC" by Black Cross with Ryan P. right in front. Oh yeah, and Matt Haas (Nixon) covered with blood and looking FUCKING SCARY.
CD:
- 1. Ganthet - Nuff Said
- 2. Ganthet - Super Friends
- 3. Nixon - I'd Tell You, But Then I'd Have Tequila
- 4. Lords - CFHC (VKHC parody song...Cahoots Fries Hard Core)
Notes: Canopic, the second band to play the show, did not have a song on the CD because while they had stuff recorded, they simply didn't like it enough to be released. Party poopers. Also, on the CDs that Bryan burned, he printed the Louisville HxC logo on the front of the CD and put anywhere from 1 extra song to 30 extra songs, most of which had nothing to do with punk/hardcore or ... anything. Some had prank calls using an Arnold Schwarzenegger sound board, some had "Eating Is Fun, Eating Is Serious" by Chris "Corky" Burke, some had movements by Bach or Mozart, some had the originals of everything Ganthet covered at the show, some had old Louisville songs, one had half an episode of Sell Out Louisville Style, some had the Mortal Kombat theme song.... lots of really odd shit. ALSO, there was NO packaging for this, as Bryan ran out of time to make them (or lengthy liner notes/inserts.. which I guess I'm making up for by writing all of this rubbish, eh?), and thought Tony Ash was making covers, but Tony decided before the show not to do them due to lack of funds, so nothing happened. However, they did come in sweet brown paper bags with candy and other assorted stuff.
One final note: You may have noticed that the cdr's say "10/31/03: Louisville, KY," whereas the show actually took place on 10/31/04. The story behind that is: Tony had numerous blank cdr's left over from the Halloween 2003 show he organized. When burning the cd's for that show, he decided to label them all beforehand. Burning cd's can be a time consuming process, especially when you're talking about burning 200 20 minute cd's. So...there ended up being only approximately 150 cd's at the '03 show. For the '04 show, Matt and Bryan simply used these unburned labeled cdr's. Someone was supposed to write a 4 over the 3, but it was later discovered that this was only done to a small portion of the cd's.
