SUNDAY - JULY 3RD - EMPTY BOTTLE - CHICAGO
with: Aaron Dilloway, Hive Mind, Workbench, Climax Denial

I got to the Empty Bottle just as Climax Denial was playing...from the back, I thought his head was the singer's of BLOODYMINDED, and I freaked out for a second. It was hard to see what was going on, and I couldn't quite grasp what he was doing or what he was about (though, I managed to get a cassette from him that is very good, and a Current 93 patch on the back of his jacket helps provide some answers)...Aaron Dilloway played one of the best noise sets I have ever seen in my life. I cannot even begin to explain it...I felt bad for Workbench who had to follow him...bummer zone. Hive Mind delivered some of the best bass frequencies on the Empty Bottle's amazing sound system that left various parts of my body tingling. The stellar lineup added to the BLOODYMINDED experience, as everyone in the audience was undeniably stoked and enthusiastic... I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I'm a "hate lover" or a "love hater." Very fulfilling show...
