Let me tell you this was a Fuckin wild one.For all you people who missed out these are the shows that the Under Ground music scene is all about. We arrived 10:00am for band check in NUSE does not go on until 7:10pm but if you don't check in before the fest starts you can loose your time spot. The bands started about 12:30 and went on to all hour of the next morning. There were 40 bands that played Saturday allot of them were really good. I was impressed by a band named Kaos these boys are from S.F. and kicked some fuckin ass. They went on about 2pm and really had some fun on stage and that's what this business is suppose to be all about. Madball went on at 4:40pm and they were the best band of the day. They represented NYC Hardcore and they put on one hell of a powerful set.Anal Blast was another band worth mentioning,the fire marshals were down stairs during their set and this old fireman was like what the fuck is this world coming too. I shoke his hand and laughed.

A couple of other bands worth listing were Tribe of Anger, Beyond the Flesh, Trivium, Pain Museum & Meth Sessions these bands were all great and put on a hell of a show. NUSE took the stage at 7:15 pm there wasn't much dancing but there was a huge crowd and they gave NUSE much respect ,you can't ask for more than that. They put on a great show. M.O.D came on a little later . Billy Milano is still the fuckin nut he always has been. They put on a strong set and the crowd new it. Testament came on after M.O.D again the crowd got what they wanted a kick ass set from them. Obituary was next again they tore the fuckin stage up, everybody thought they were the best of the night except me. Vital Remains closed the show Glen Benton from Decide was the singer. He came out with a sick leather mask and outfit on what I can remember they did a killer set and left the place pretty trashed. At this point of the night I was pretty delirious from the long day and 50 beers I pounded. From a 1 to 10 this show was a 9. With a better venue instead of a crack infested Irvington location this show would be unbeatable. Here is the complete band list from Saturdays show.
