Today is Jim C’s birthday. BEST WISHES to Jim C.
If you don’t Jim C, your missing out. You may currently know him from Soul Control. Over the years, there were a lot of other bands. Some I have forgotten, some Jim C would likely wish me to forget. But one of my faves was Rhode Island’s own What Feeds The Fire.
Before Soul Control and Verse, there was WFTF. Before Jim joined this band, I will admit, I was ignorant of them. I had never gone out of my way to see them. But Jim joined, and I began to pay attention.
What about this gig?
May 19 2002 @Met Cafe Providence RI: The Cro-Mags, Some Kind Of Hate, Suicide File, What Feeds The Fire
Fuck, you’re moshing. And I saw their last gig in 2003.
July 27, 2003 @The Palladium Worcester Mass: Team Neale show: Bane, Hatebreed, Barrit, Hope Con, Ringworm, What Feeds The Fire (last show), Most Precious Blood
It was definitely a high note to go out on. And if you don’t know, they had an intro style song with the lyrics, (duh) “What .. Feeds .. The .. Fire!” Kids would mosh hard, stage dive, pile on and get crazy. And then they would force the band to play the song again to continue the crazy.
Great times, great band, great dude. Happy Birthday, Jim.
