So in all the gigs I've ever been to prior to last night, I've never personally witnessed a fight. This includes gigs such as Brand New and Arcade Fire, both of which seem more likely a place than an Architecture In Helsinki gig at The Metro, one of the most laid-back venues you can find. Yet last night, there were three, maybe four fights. Crazy stuff!
Admittedly only one of them was during the actual concert; the others were after it had finished, but still! The first seemed to be caused by somebody spilling their drink and somebody else getting pissed of by it, resulting in a hefty uppercut and a fair amount of blood, and the second was possibly the same people. The other(s) was/were aftermath.
Doesn't this seem a bit unusual? I mean, Architecture were putting on such a fun show, you'd think you would be hard-pressed to get angry about anything. The only difference between that and any other gig was that there was a combination of alcohol (usual) and underage show-goers (unusual, and quite weird). But the douchebag fighters were all at least 20, so it's hard to see that getting in the way.
Any ideas?

Wow, that is strange, James.
I went to a metalcore concert on Saturday night and witnessed little violence (outside the circle and mosh pits, obviously), so why at Architecture?
And also, why is violence more likely at Arcade Fire? I am confused :P
PS. YOU'RE ALIVE, OMG!!
Also, the band o horses gig has been confirmed to be in Syd, I think.
Maybe it was that the crowd was more of a dance scene, resulting in more pill popping, as such? I don't know. Arcade Fire is just heavier, so... I don't know! I needed more than one gig to list?
But yes, I am alive and well! And finally found something to post here :D.
Ooh, Band of Horses! I gather they're at the Metro here? Totally awesome!
You missed my epic Ballarat adventure!
And by epic I mean, quite uneventful.
And my missed I mean... were absent from the town at the time... but you always are anyway!
