The Studio, Auckland.
Oh Sleeper opened, and while I enjoyed them I don't think I will bother getting their album.
Escape the Fate however were amazing! From the moment they stepped on stage I was captivated. Craig (the singer) was sick, and had apparently been in the hospital earlier that day, but didn't want to cancel the show so he performed anyway. He occasionally had the shakes (understandably), but it was still a brilliant performance. They sang all my fave songs (including 'Situations'), and even sung one of my other faves with acoustic guitar.
I got a little damaged in the mosh pit - I managed to get my hand on a drumstick - only to have someone gouge my hand and take a couple of (small, but still painful)chucks of flesh out of my hand. They won that unfortunately, as my other hand couldn't get there fast enough to yank it away from them, but still - battle scars.
I was gutted when the show ended, and will def. see them again if I get the chance.
