Dead Baby Downhill 2014


[ed. One of the finest nights I can remember. The annual Dead Baby Downhill event in Seattle (“The best party known to humankind". I know, the name sucks). Ear piercing music, insane bike aerobatics, a debauched crowd of drugged and drunken party-goers, packed bars, streets and alley ways. All free. There must have been 300-400 cool kids there (and not so cool ones), 20s, 30s, ... but hardly anyone older than me (insert joke here). Never been that close to a mosh pit before and was engulfed (advice: just a hard forearm or a shove now and then and you can generally stay vertical). Way too much fun! Special note: Alexi Void and the band Go Like Hell. Wow! See below: in the alley, next to Georgetown Records].

Go Like Hell! They're a lean, mean, punk rock machine technically referred to as a weapon of mass destruction, and guess what, they think you're dumb, fat and ugly. You better run like hell because this outrageous five piece is coming to a town near you. Go Like Hell will kick you in the balls, bust up your face, and kick your ass into outer space. (...)

Go Like Hell's live show is what sets the band apart. In fact, The Misfits have been known to indulge in an entire show. Full of personality, sexuality, and unbridled passion, they play with a sense of urgency and a set full of unexpected surprises. You might say that watching them live is like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.
