"A moment of silence, a lifetime of laughter" is a lyric from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Noise Brigade. The Bosstones were dropped from the original bill of the first concert I ever attended. Here, I reminisce on various moments of silence and noise in a lifetime of laughter and a few scattered tears. "On the brighter side and on a happier note; the noise, well it's just love that gets caught in my throat."
This otherwise nondescript warehouse throwdown, complete with an unnecessarily lengthy entry line, inadequate bathrooms, and all the Colt '45 cans we could carry home, was made memorable by the left-field appearance of costume-clad members of Kaiju Big Battel on the dance floor, which erupted when Chromeo dropped "Killing In The Name".
