I bet is has something to with the fact that everybody knows that an all day mucho punk bands show really sucks ass to go to....so what if the ancient Dr. KNow is playing...the fact is that after 4 bands one's brain does not give a shit any more about what the next awesome punk band is going to sound like....its going to sound loud and annoying unless one is drunk and then it doesn't matter who plays as long as its fast and loud...for instance the reason that the "skipped by Sacramento snooze and refuse" Operation Restore Max Freedom was pretty successful was the fact that there were all kinds of bands playing....your brain could easily shift around all of the music ......and on another note the price (not included on any posters I saw around town) was too high...I understand that the colonial theater is expensive and everyone needed to get paid but c'mon punks don't have 15 bucks for a show....it should have been spread out over the week with three to five bands a night for 5 bucks ..... in different places(like noise fest used to be) that way there's not a huge loss when the band's don't bring more than their girlfriends......
:Could be the $$$, but $12/15 seems reasonable to me for 8-10 bands per night including a "name" headliner (Dr.Know, Verbal Abuse). It was really sad how few people were there -- the bands were great but Colonial was like a huge empty cave. From what I could figure around 2/3 of the audience was the other bands. Bummer

:::Hmmm-- why did no one (or almost no one) show up to the first couple of days of messyfest -- some of the best punk bands I've seen in Sac in a long time?
