This was the most incredible night of my life. At the very least, it was the most eventful. I, along with several other people, duped the Recher Theatre into letting us perform on a bill with a bunch of shitty pop punk bands. They were predisposed to hating us because we had so many members. They had no idea what was to come next. For half an hour, we yelled, we kicked, we fought, we fell, we sang, we chanted, we bearded, we sworded, we fucked up, we destroyed shit…needless to say, they were PISSED at us. By 9:00 pm, I had a gash on my right elbow, the left leg of my pants was split all the way up the side, my fake beard was in pieces scattered throughout the audience, and I had sung “Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba about three times to the crowd. These videos are a document of a night that will surely go down in history as legendary…the night when BEARDED MOTHERFUCKING SWORDS invaded the Recher Theatre and took a shit in their salad. FUCKING FUCK SHIT FUCK RUSH.
