Home Grown @ The Intersection
10/27/00
Capturing
the scene of California surfers and ska punks, Home Grown made an appearance
at the Intersection on a Thursday Night. I reserved tickets which was unnecessary,
there were only 40 people there. This was sad to me, because such a great
band needs to be shown support, of course, Grand Rapids isn't into the
punk scene much. Anyway, Limbeck and Diffuser were good openers, more on
the Emo side but we all love Emo. When Home Grown finally played around
11:30, I was blown away. They are extremely together and sound excellent
live, even with the loss of a guitarist. At first a few vocal harmonies
were out of tune but once they got warmed up everything sounded great.
They had no setlist. They went by suggestion from the crowd. They cracked
jokes and were having a great time playing. The drummer was amazing and
he was having a lot of fun. Great show. |
