Doors opened at 7pm with the show starting quite on the dot at
8pm. Epitaph bought out pretty much half the show while KROQ bought
out the other half, leaving only a small amount of tickets to the
general public (no wonder the show sold out in 2 Bad Religion had a new energy to them with Mr. Brett back in the band. To finish the third of the trio of Bad Religion’s new record’s release shows, the band played a couple new songs such as Sorrow (stated as “BR’s most heart wrenching song”), Broken and Supersonic. They also kept the crowd alive with many old songs like Modern Man, American Jesus, Stranger Than Fiction, and Recipe For Hate. Every time an old song would be played, the crowd would go wild. I guess there were a lot of long time Bad Religion fans that night. There was one guy that kept yelling, “You suck”, “Faggot”. Why he was at the show, I do not understand. Bad Religion has been one of the best bands around for a long time. I cannot fathom anyone not liking them or maybe I am just biased since they are my favorite band! Even after all of those years they still put on an incredible show. Next time they are in town, go see them. ---Ashley-Kiana ---Ashley-Kiana

I
saw Bad Religion about a year ago at the Warfield in San Francisco
with the Promise Ring. The Promise Ring really just did not fit
my taste in music. To put it nicely, I thought they were horrible
so, I left the crowd and wandered around through merchandise. To
me opening bands are important. Without a good opening band, people
are just sitting around getting pissed off and longing for the main
act to come on. The show this Saturday, at the Key Club, in West
Hollywood, gave my sights a nice contrast compared to the Bad Religion
show I went to last year. The opening band, the Deviates, were much,
much better, which kept me anxious for the rest of the expected
to be amazing show. The Deviates are a young punk rock band from
the South Bay, who had so much energy. They were young yet so good
(in more ways than one). 
minutes).
The guest list line was so long that the normal line was not visible.
All three floors were packed with people throughout the entire show.
The Deviates played a half hour set from 8-8:30 while Bad Religion
played for about an hour from 9-10. Bad Religion’s 21 song set went
through new and old, beginning with Suffer and ending with 21st
Century (Digital Boy).
