I had an urge to see some new bands so what could be better than a D-Beat band from Sweden, right?  Turns out they are long running band Meanwhile.  Everybody on the bill had something out at sometime or another and I enjoyed the entire night.  

The first band billed Abizm but looks like clips and an album as Abism had a Latina vocalist with a ripping vocal with a deceptively laid back approach.  Suffocating Madness had the D-Beat sound in full effect.  No Fucker had a banner that accompanied every band.  More fast D-Beat.  

The two international bands started with Disaffect from Glasgow, Scotland.  They had dueling guy/girl vocals.  Then came it band I mostly came to see, from Sweden and around nearly 30 years, Meanwhile.  I listened to an earlier record, Same Shit New Millennium before the show and that is what motivated me to go check the night out.

That conversation was miraculously remembered over half a year later.   Another friend of mine had RSVP's for the free Tuesday Night Series at Union Pool passed on to me that proved to be useless since they don't guarantee entrance.  Fortunately, I got there early enough that I was 3rd to last to secure entry.  For future lines there, if it...
