Bane: 1998 & 2008

Holding This Moment.

That’s a concept I can hang with. I mean, think about it, 1998 was 12 fucking years ago. Bane was the top of the game back then. And surprisingly, they are still killing it today. With a tour of Asia on the horizon, life is good.

1998 was  a big year. Bane did their first full US tour. Prior to that, it was weekends down to Virginia Beach or DC but never a full US tour. At the time, they took out this small band called Saves The Day. They also whipped up their first longsleeve design. Great look. Tan with black ink. Blue ink on the sleeves. Very hype.

They also did a short sleeve. Orange. Bright orange. Oddly, at one gig at The Space in Worcester, TWO bands had bright orange shirts. Almost matching. Harvest AND Bane. Weird.

Ten years later, the design was revisited for another tour. Holding This Moment 2008. Another quality tour. The US, Europe, all the hot spots.

I’ll be here tomorrow, I’ll be here next year. Just like the X on the back of this hand…
