Yup, that was it. I went with the guys from the Tattoo Museum. It was a pretty legit show.
They played there twice that same year and I went to both shows. Cedric freaked out and threw the drumset into the crowd bc people were smoking in the crowd when he asked them not to. It was hilarious and lame at the same time. I smoked weed and laughed about it.

@Oaktavia thats a pretty wild way to meet Omar! I saw ATDI at the Astoria in London around the time Relationship of Command came out, 2001 I believe. I was 14 years old and to my shame was heavily into my-metal. That show completely flipped my musical taste. I wish I still had my ATDI boombox tee I got from that show, not that it’d fit me anymore.
In the same vein, a few weeks after the ATDI show I went to see …Trail of Dead also at the Astoria. Again, they were a band I didn’t know much about but were being compared in a lot of ways to ATDI so I turned up to see. While queueing we were chatting to some New York dudes down the alley outside, who told us they were first support band. They found it funny that me and my friends were only 14 seeing trail of dead, joking that we should still be in school and shit. One of them picked me up and ran around giving me a piggy-back. They were The Strokes, who at the time were kinda unknown to me. Sometimes I think it’s funny that Julian Casablancas gave me a piggy-back when I was 14…

I seriously hope this comment is in jest…
I have chosen to consider it as such.

Sorry be a stick in the mud, but I think the reservations were more about the implicit QAnon references than concern for Lizzy’s honour.

…@neph93 well before Qanon was a thing Hunter S. Thompson had brought up Adrenachrome in his time on earth...and Hunter would probably have known about these sort of things.
...ah yes, the great awakening!

Yes, a drug-addled writer mentioned it–as an intoxicant, not a magical life-extender--in a fictional novel. Not exactly a reputable source. He would be horrified that people have taken it literally and twisted it into such dangerous nonsense.
All the Qanon thing is a rehashing of the old blood libel myth used to demonize Jews as baby killers that has incorporated another myth in adrenochrome to give it a veneer of plausibility for the easily duped. It is sad how susceptible so many people are to such a hamfisted psy-ops campaign.

I’ve read HST. As a (former?) post punk fan you may be interested in this, if you haven’t heard it before:
Sort of funny that the guy who published this video has had to put in a note to distance the video from QAnon’ers.

…wow! Didn't know it went so deep for people...I take everything with a grain of salt, but conspiracy theories can/have turn(ed) into something more like spoiler alerts.
...the great awakening indeed.
...@neph93 I'll check them out ,thanks!
