After a series of venue switches, the Masters of Disaster tour hit Maric Lanes in Astoria last Saturday night. This was an old-school, up-close experience with four hard-hitting thrash bands playing on the top floor of this Queens bowling alley.



It was a great show - the bands gave it all and the crowd gave it right back. It was also nice to see that a good number of people made it out for the show, especially with this show having come together at the last minute.

The Masters of Disaster tour is currently in the Mid-West and are working their way toward the West Coast where they will be playing with Exumer on the final night of the tour (May 1st at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood).
