Last Wednesday night at the Annandale Hotel, OFF! tore the place apart in what was easily one of the best shows of the year. If you missed the show hopefully the pics and video can help paint the picture for you.
Basically OFF played everything they have recorded to the point where they had to repeat songs for an encore which was amazing to hear rather than reverting to playing some Black Flag or Circle Jerks covers.
It was pretty incredible to hear Keith's stories of meeting bassplayer Steven McDonald as a young 11 year old who used to hang out at the infamous Church during Black Flag practice. You are in total awe of how much history is on stage in front of you and the things they have seen. Keith had a lot to say in between songs and all of it is captured below in the videos.
After the show I had a chat with bass player Steven McDonald and amongst many other things he informed me that OFF already had 5 new songs down and plan on releasing an album in late Feburary perhaps. During our lengthy conversation, I also asked him what was the first Descendents show he ever went to and he promptly replied "oh their first show, I used to take acid with Frank Navetta all the time".
