I clicked on this 100% not expecting to hear some of their new stuff and never having heard it live before and I love this. 12/10 one of the best videos ever
I was working "security" at this show. I say "security" because really I was just helping out my friend Robbie who booked the show and I was helping out at the door and counting heads for the sake of keeping it at capacity. Maybe a few more people than would fit in the building showed up, but before people even got into the lobby of the coffee shop, the building owner showed up and asked the property manager to come and help him shut the show down. The venue had been hosting shows for a few months there and my band had played there twice, but when the owner caught wind of it that night, he decided to shut the shit down. The promoter did everything he could and even offered the guy money to let them do the show, but the guy turned it all down just because he could. I was trying to help kids get out and the venue manager grabbed me by the shirt and threw me out the front doors despite me telling him I was there working on the show as a staff member. Real douche move. It really sucked. A lot of people worked super hard to make that show happen at one of Boise's only DIY venue's and some fucker had to ruin it and shut down the venue in the process. I've tried reaching out the Mom Jeans a few different times (pre-COVID-19 of course) to see about booking them at other all ages venues we'd gotten since the last time they showed up but they kinda always didn't seem to want to be bothered with it and would rather skip out on Boise, or just have an off date instead.
