The Dayglo Abortions – Sept. 25, 2004
The Dayglo Abortions
Saturday, Sept. 25, 2004 @ Red Square, St. Catharines
First of all it was a punk night from the start. We were on our way to St. Catharines to enjoy the fruits of the wine festival, a time when students of all walks of life can get shit faced in public together legally. We however were done school though and so it went that we never made it off of our friend’s rooftop deck off on St. Paul st. listening to Screeching Weasel all the while. We never made it to Montebello Park for wine tickets and free Black Diamond cheese but somehow we did end up at Red Square for Goth night.
The Mansion house was a bust because it was all asshole grad students and first years who somehow knew my name. We quickly drank our beers and got the hell out of the open air setting we were in and headed down the street looking for a better atmosphere. I had my heart set on Kaz’s bar because the crowd is usually good and I have solid roots in spending a lot of my parent’s money there. Somehow we passed by it and found ourselves standing along side the one constant in popular youth culture, Goth kids. There’s been skids, punks, metal heads, grundgers and emo’s but the Goths kids just never seem to die, although a lot of them do look like exhumed corpses. I thought it would be at least amusing to rub elbows with the living dead for last call but my Alien Sex Fiend dreams were crushed when I reached the bottom of the steep staircase and found that one of the top five worst bands of all time were playing. Speaking of exhumed corpses it was non other that Day-Glo Abortions.
I saw this crap punk band in 1999 at the Frat House when they were supported by the equally old and untalented Bunchoffuckingoofs. It was then that my extreme dislike for this band began. I walked in for just about the last song of the evening and before I even had a Molson Stock Ale in my hand (Red Square is probably the only bar without a dirt floor to actually serve this) the band was announcing it was the last song for the evening. Much like the Day-Glo’s career this was not to be the last time we heard from them. How many times has this band announced their retirement? I think the last time they announced their conclusion was in the spring of this year and yet there they were playing to a far less than sold out crowd in a basement again. Thumbs up guys! The only one as old as you who is still pulling “the last concert ever” routine is Cher. Nevertheless after they said that they announced their last song they played about seven more songs as the band somehow got increasingly louder, drunker and shittier. Don’t worry if you like this band and for whatever reason missed the show because you didn’t miss anything. The guitarist still looks like an old punk version of your disheveled, alcoholic grandfather and the ancient, fat lead singer acted like an immature 15 year old. At least it was free and it wasn’t crowded with other 40 year old, sweaty, Mohawk clad losers who haven’t moved on. My night would have been totally ruined by seeing this show but after I left the bar it was redeemed when I was hit by a car. — Jackson Main
