No sophomore slump here, our second edition in the in-store film series is also from CMJ 2007 (October 17), a truly insane performance from the incomparable No Age! We still didn’t really have the kinks worked out of our system (will we ever?), and there was quite a bit of mayhem; whenever Dean cranked up that sampler, we blew the fancy movie lights, and when things got intense on stage (meaning, on the floor in the corner of the shop), the crowd would surge and start moshing in a way that was decidedly un-record-store-like. I really thought the fans would bring the whole p.a. down when they started crowd-surfing, but I dropped into my best approximation of a bouncer and knocked a few folks back into the pit like a man twice my size, never losing sight of the most important issue… that the Dig for Fire crew were getting it all on tape. Well they were, and this clip is just amazing. I think it really captures the spirit of No Age and, along with the great interview that Karen did crammed into our back stairway, you get some excellent insights into one of the more interesting punk rock bands we’ve seen in years. Enjoy!
