Thread: ORIGIN @ Marble House, July 22

So I guess since Summer Slaughter is over, Origin is just playing some random shows while they are still on the road. This place, The Marble House, wasn't even a real venue. It's just some dude's basement in the suburbs around the University of Maryland. I imagine it will get shut down pretty soon though because of noise violations or something.

The show was only $5 to get in. One of my favorite local bands, Condemn the Infected played first. Seriously this band if fucking awesome. They aren't given enough credit, hopefully it's only a matter of time until they breakout.

Next was this band called Ashes of Kings. They were the guys that owned the house. They seemed cool but I wasn't really into their music. It was all just chug chug stuff.

After they finished Origin came on. They're such cool dudes. They were there hanging out and talking to people the whole time. The singer was telling us about Michael Jackson autopsy photos and stuff. I caught about 6 songs of their set before some dude that was moshing fell into my friend and fucked his knee. Somebody tried to pick him up but he just fell down to the ground. So they just carried him upstairs and got him some frozen pees for his knee. So then he hobbled to my car and spent the night at my house because he couldn't drive. His parents just came this morning and took him to the hospital.

But yeah, Origin was brutal like always. This place might have been sketchy but it was pretty awesome. I'd rather see Origin in a small basement like that then some big venue.

Have any pics of The Marble House?

It's about time I see these guys...
Good review!

I don't know yet... maybe. Misery Index is playing at the "Marble House" on Friday too, so I don't know which one I'll go to.
Oh yeah and I went to Jaxx a couple weeks ago and on the way home, right before the Woodrow Wilson bridge they were doing road work. There was so much traffic. It took me an hour to move not even 2 miles... This was all at midnight too. Hopefully that's not still going on.

Geez. That is fucking tiny. I can just imagine the noise complaints.

Haha yeah that is tiny. I would be the least popular guy at that show because I'd have to windmill at Origin. All would be showered in my epic amounts of hair.

Dang playing out of some dude's kitchen? Lol I can just imagine Sigurd windmilling right into the band and all music stops....everyone looks at him with arms folded....and then Origin drowns him in the sink...crowd cheers.....band continues to play....Sigurd's corpse is crowd surfed out the door....lol only joshin.

I think I'd do what I did last time like the rest of the audience: stand in one spot and drool at the playing of the drummer and bass player and think afterwards, I think I just got my ass kicked royally yet I appear not to have any bruises.

Yeah, I imagine that's about how it would go .

Over half of the time I'd be doing what Amok said, watching Mike and John play live is incredible.

Man this is actually a really cool story. It would be crazy to see a biggish band in a shitbox kitchen/basement think. If I was in said band, I would lap up the atmosphere. So cool.
