The Music Room
San Bernardino, CA
December 15, 2000
After the November to Dismember Metalfest, we were very pleased to return to the Inland Empire as guests of Beat the Bone, a killer modern heavy rock/metal band based out in IE. The place was the Music Room, a small bar just down the street from where DJ's used to stand. The show started out a little slow, but as more and more people came, we had ourselves a great little party!
This picture suggests that the bar was more empty than it actually was! In reality, the turn-out and response were great! Here we are setting up and soundchecking before the show. As you can see, The Music Room's layout was such that there was a bar and tables obscuring part of the view of the band. It was a great little stage area, considering, because there was plenty of room to move around. Thanks to Bruce Strohmayer for providing the pic!
Looking up from below, here's Mel n Fro rockin' out with each other. It was definitely great to be back on the stage again.
Joe pulled off a perfect set, despite the long drive from Orange County and the hauling and setting up of his massive drumset.
Mel pays Dustin's side of the stage a visit during "LHP". Speaking of paying visits, the San Bernardino crowd most definitely rocks! We always seem to receive such a warm welcome when ever we play the Inland Empire. Hopefully the year 2001 will yeild more eastwardly visits.
