Growing up in Maine, we didn’t get a lot of “cool” gigs.<\/p>\n

Bold never played Maine. Youth Of Today never played Maine … Granted, I would have only been 10 or 11 when they played.<\/p>\n

But lots of cool bands never played Maine. We had Sam Black Church and Tree every weekend. Oddly, I don’t recall Murphy’s Law ever playing Maine.<\/p>\n

So when “major” bands would come through, kids would come out in force. Such was the case on June 14, 1997.<\/p>\n

June 14 1997 @Zootz Portland Maine: Snapcase, Cast Iron Hike, Eventide and Ground Zero<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids were lined out of Zootz waiting for this gig. The moshing was intense (for Maine, mind you. Years later, I would see Madball play a Masonic Lodge in Cambridge, Mass. It was then that I learned what HARD moshing really was). The crowd went crazy. And when Snapcase played, the place blew up. They covered She by The Misfits. Dudes were stoked.<\/p>\n

This particular shirt is an obvious Outspoken rip-off. “Straight Edge Isn’t Cool Anymore … So What?” Snapcase loved to make shows for one day events. I had a Hungry Charlies shirt somewhere. This one is dated June 18, 1995 with a Syracuse NY mention. We’ll have to get Guav or Buske to comment on the significance.<\/p>\n
