July 22nd, 2005- O'Neils Irish Pub, 21 AND OVER!!!- So, technically, by rules of the bar, the band were the only ones under 21 allowed. This show went really well, although the crowd was kinda small, the band completely rocked. They played 3 new songs "Nesnir," "Suicide Note," and "Walk It Tough." The new songs rocked and the older songs came on stronger than ever before. I'd say the crowd really enjoyed them, and so did the bar being they were allowed to play 2 sets. Hopefully for the next show some of the younger fans will be permitted and there will be more songs to look forward to.
June 4th, 2005- Paul Perry's Graduation Party- This show was a fairly unpopulated show in blistering hot weather, but as always the guys totally rocked out. The band played two sets, and of course, the crowd was lovin it. This show went really well, it was generally an older crowd, but that didn't stop anybody from having a good time.
May 28th, 2005- Battle of Bands, Louisa County High School- One week later Louisa holds their annual battle of the bands. N.C. played along Jam Band, Sixth Element, and a few other; and came out on top! It was a great show and they met a lot of cool people. Their trophy is still in the mail.
May 21st, 2005- Louisa's Prom, Louisa County High School- Thanks to an offer from George Faulknier of "The Jam Band", they were able to play Louisa's prom. Many were more interested in their prom instead of the band; but N.C. did have about 10 girls ruffling up their fancy prom dresses to mosh for them. Thanks Louisa.
May 20th, 2005- Flucofest, Battle of the Bands- The band played well but the acoustics in the annex gym really sucked. The Jam Band won with the most screams, but N.C. played their butts off and deserve some credit for it. Woo-hoo guys! Keep rockin'.
May 5th, 2005- Outback Lodge, Double Feature- N.C. played first and A Kid Named Darwin was their closer. The show started at 10 p.m. and their was quite a crowd for a Thursday night. The crowd was so pumped and by the end of the show we were all wishing for more, we just couldn't get enough. This was by far THE BEST show they've ever done, definitely topped their Potter's Pub show, anyone who missed this show, should smack themselves for lack of a brain. All the solos flowed right, all the music seemed to have flowed perfect, and their new song kicked some major ass. If they don't make it big in the future, I will be forced to go homicidal on the music industry. *JUST KIDDING* but yeah, guys, give yourself a hand, you've impressed even the closed minded. And audience memebers, give yourself a hand, you witnessed the best performance yet. We all know their will be better shows than this, and when they occur I will update.
April 23rd, 2005-The Firehouse, Jeff's Party- This show went fairly well, it was the first show in a while for the band. The crowd was actually kinda pumped, although there wasn't much of a crowd, oh well. N.C. still rocked the house, or well fire-house.
March 20th, 2005- Battle of the Bands, Potter's Pub- This show was probably their best show ever. They went up there, full of energy and positive that they would do well, and, they did! Everything seemed to go very well, even the solos. After the show the audience seemed pretty much convinced that they would win. There were many people excited about the future of November's Child, talking about labels and such. That night they found out that they lost the battle of the bands by a minimal amount of points; but they had the pride in knowing that they almost beat a band that has been around forever and never gotten anywhere. I hope to see more shows as great as this one, and I'm sure I will.
March 18th, 2005- Powhatan- This show was a good show, but the crowd sucked. Right before the band went on, there was another band, a "screamo" band. Apparently that was the preferred genre of rock because as soon as they got on and play two songs half the room had left. Regardless of the shitty audience the band did really well.
March , 2005- Dew Drop Inn- This show was kind of a random "hey it's open mic nite, lets go." The space is was held at was tiny with no stage at all. The space was cramped but boy oh boy did they kick some ass. As you may know, this was in the middle of the city of Scottsville, at a pretty much redneck bar, with a few cool guys. The show went really well, and after the show all the audience members were amazed at how much noise this band of "teenagers" could make.
Feb 2th, 2005- "Latte Talent"- For a school sponsored event, the band definitely surprised everyone. They showed some sensorship while still rocking the shit out of the cafeteria. They played alongside of Autumn Anew and The Jam Band (featuring Jimmy Small). This was merely a "show of talent" not a talent competition, but surely if it had been a talent competition, they would've won.
Jan 29th, 2005- "The Faina Basement Birthday Bash"- This was the "birthday party" for both Chad and Kent held at David's house, in his basement. The band played around 5:30 and did an encore performance at like 6:30 or 7:00 for the people that had just arrived. They rocked. The crowd was pumped and the band provide the right music to go with their energy. The show was awesome, especially for such a small space and big crowd. Come out to the next show
Dec 18th, 2004 - "Charlottesville Rock-Out" at Southern Select Produce, featuring November's Child (and only November's Child). The band rocked the shit of this fairly big warehouse, and impressed all of their audience with their amazing skills. As their debut they most definitely came out strong, hopefully then can top that with their next show.
