(Bonus Patreon Episode) System of a Down / The Dillinger Escape Plan at Birmingham Academy on 19th March 2002
Manage episode 425726320 series 3582253
Remfry's first Patreon pick is a monumental show from 2002 seeing System of a Down touring Toxicity, an album that has entered the modern metal pantheon as an undisputed classic. At this point, SOAD were untouchable and after the tour had to be pushed back 4 months due to the devastating Twin Tower attacks, anticipation was immense to see the LA alt-metal quartet on their first UK date since Toxicity's release. As a bonus, they also brought New Jersey's The Dillinger Escape Plan with them, who it must be said went over the majority of the crowd's heads (including a 17-year old Remfry) but would one day emerge as a band dear to him, as well as inspiring the name of this very podcast. Simon attended the same tour and is on hand to reminisce on his memories of one of the band's Brixton Academy shows in London a few days later.
