Vicious Disorder Live @ Don Hills, NYC 1-22-08

Vicious Disorder went on stage at Don Hill's right before Great White. The band has been around for a number of years but this was my first time seeing them play live. There was a bit of a buzz about Vicious Disorder just over a year ago when the band recorded the song "Pure Evil" which incorporated the theme music from the Halloween series of horror movies. For anyone not familiar with the band's sound, there are some live videos of the band performing "Pure Evil" in concert on the band's website (not from the Don Hill's show though).

The band had a tight hard rock sound that almost borders on thrash. Vicious Disorder isn't quite as hard as some of the mid-80's Bay-area thrash bands but these would be close contemporaries to the band's sound.

Here are some of the pictures that I took at the show.

Great White - Don Hills, NYC 1-22-08 (25th Anniversary Show)

G*d...I have really been working too much these days as the Great White show was a couple of weeks back.

Great White made their only area appearance on their 25th Anniversary tour at a show at Don Hill's. It was a really strong bill this night (Great White, Ray West's new band Hostel Inc. and Vicious Disorder) for only a $10 ticket.

Great White took the stage at the early hour of the morning (I think it was after midnight) and played a great set of classic tunes from their back catalogue, some tunes from the new CD "Back to the Rhythm" and Zeppelin cover or two. Aside for some initial sound problems when the band first took the stage, the band sounded great.

Great White's latest CD is "Back to the Rhythm" which came out last summer on Shrapnel Records. The band is currently finishing up a UK tour and there are rumors that the band will be touring the States sometime over the summer.

I'll follow up this post with pictures of Hostel, Inc. (some of my pictures are currently posted to the band's MySpace page) and Vicious Disorder. Does anyone know who the first band was? I caught the end of their set but didn't see their name listed on the bill.
