JunkFest Day 2 Featuring: Team Growl, Xrin Arms, Limbs & Belt of Vapor on Saturday, June 5th at the Sunset Junction
“JunkFest Bitches!” as Matthew Winters added on the Sunset Junction’s reader board. Matthew Winters sounded great tonight. We love getting the chance to see him live and will always take the opportunity. In addition, he has a new album coming out soon, so that is very exciting. Can’t wait! We caught the end of his set and sang along to our jams. Keep an eye out on CIOM for his new album updates!
Holy Huck Finn! Xrin Arms took the crowd by shock when he stood in the center of the Junction in a leather “Huck Finn” jacket. Then out of no where he turned into a hurricane juke box, throwing himself all over the place rapping yet very punk rock. I was speechless, I didn’t know what to say. At first, I was a little confused then about half way through I realized his brilliance. Anthony Vincent you are one badass crazy mother fucker; and we love you. We can barley skim the surface of how cool and unique Xrin Arms is. On top of that Heavy Barrelz joined him for a few tracks. Together this is something I want everyone and I mean everyone to see. A kid in the crowd mentioned how they are kind of like the Beastie Boys in the start of their career. Talented chaos at it’s best. They seem to be on the road traveling A LOT so if they stop by your town make sure not to miss it.
I am not sure why things got behind because we weren’t at the Junction at the start of the night. But it took Limbs quite some time to get set up and going. It appeared that they were having a lot of technical difficulties. There was a drum set and about ten pedals and a bunch of cords and mixers, so I could see where they could run into some problems. Once they got going it was super cool, and the crowd was into it. I just think with the late start peeps were getting a little flustered. The bummer part of it was we only got to hear a few songs. I think they are from Spokane though so hopefully we can see them again. Though they should get lights like Belt of Vapor has; the singer from Belt of Vapor was hitting his light to their beats perfectly… looked cool!
Since the stage was so behind schedule Belt of Vapor had to set their stuff up on the floor (however they normally do play on the floor to capture the crowd). They took the stage around 1:30am and the bar has to close at 2am so things were rushed. I think they sound checked for about thirty seconds and started to play. Belt of Vapor is so loud and awesome as Matt would say. It is cool to see how much people dig them, everyone huddles around and rocks out. We left with a couple songs to go and PK does it again with a night of obscure fabulous music. Can’t wait for JunkFest 2011 Bitches!

Hey Wayne!
No we do not have an “editor” we are just music fans who do this more for fun like a side project. Sorry for the two or three typo’s. Thanks for checking it out!
