Last Night: Poison the Well and The Locust at the Glass House

Review by Waleed Rashidi
Poison The Well, The Locust (and a bunch of openers that we missed) at The Glass House, Pomona
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Better than: Being on the receiving end of a razor-wire enema (credit: Rich Kane, "Now We're Deef," OC Weekly, 8/31/2000)
Download: The Locust's "We Have Reached An Official Verdict: Nobody Gives A Shit."
Blame it on the moderate rain, the fact that it was hump day or the national airing of some brand-new "American Idol" audition footage, but attendance was eerily light at the Glass House for what should've been a fairly full house. After all, two veteran punk scene acts — The Locust and Poison The Well — were top-billed for the night, the rain wasn't impenetrable and it wasn't like the early show ate into many a bedtime either. Nevertheless, the barricades for a half-floor show were set in place, the balcony was closed, even the venerable snack bar wasn't feeling like dishing out its usual show fare of pizza and soda, all reaffirming the insubstantial draw.
