Maldroid had a great show last night at a rave here in SF. I had never been to the venue before - essentially it was a converted warehouse near Potrero Hill. There were three bands that played downstairs and there were DJs spinning upstairs - apparently the party went until 6AM... but I couldn't last that long. Maldroid went on at around 2AM and absolutely rocked the house. While there was much drunken bafoonery in the crowd, bottles flying around, and people wiping out and falling on top of each other, it only added to the crazy party atmosphere. Maldroid played for about 45 minutes and got the crowd fired up. Ryan was spinning the microphone cable like a weapon and was climbing on top of the PA system - nothing out of the norm - and the crowd seem to love it. At one point, I thought I was going to get mauled by some girl that was twirling around the room, bouncing off the walls like she was possessed (or due to other reasons) - I guess music (and other things) can do that to you...

It was great to see so many people out at a random warehouse in the middle of nowhere supporting local music... we need more of this to happen more often.
