This was the most poorly attended show I've witnessed in New York, aside from last year's Jap-Ka and Corpremesis gigs at Lit. Beyond the usual lack of promotion (posting myspace e-flyers doesn't count), there were three other scheduled events to blame including The Faceless/Atheist tour, Tragedy, in Williamsburg, and Waking The Cadaver, in Greenpoint. I had a ticket to Atheist, but decided to make my way to Bedford Ave for my first visit to The Charleston. I don't think a single person paid for this show...it was me, a couple of friends and pretty much bands watching bands at one point. The first group, from North Carolina, were a bunch of radio-friendly rockers, and the poor guys didn't play in front of a single person. I rushed to arrive by eight o'clock, but the real bands didn't start playing until after ten, so I wound up drinking quite a few brown-bagged beers on a very crowded sidewalk outside of the venue.
