This weekend my band performed at a Lynwood metal show. For those of you how do not know where lynwood is, it is in south la in between Watts and Compton. The metal scene in Lynwood is huge and the headbanging rockers eyes squinted when they saw us come on the tiny stage with our guitars and trumpets. As you may already know I play in a Skacore band, and its not exactly a popular genre among these metal heads. We turned on our gear and turned up our sound, then performed our first song. it was a success the crowd applauded and whistled and we were shocked but happy we were not booed off stage.
After about five or six songs our time was up, but the metal heads asked for one more so we let them have it with defying the shouts of the sound guys and the kids went crazy. They asked for one last one but we had to let it go and but the metal heads kept cheering either way.
I had tons of fun that night and i realized something special to me as well, and that is that growing up the mission my friends and I had in creating this band was to someday be the first ska band to play at metal shows and be well accepted and after that night i knew i was accomplishing that dream.
