DI

5:00pm had now rolled around and it was time for the Fullerton, California invasion to start with DI. They opened up with "Rock-n-Roll" to get the crowd ready for some serious skanking. Cutting right to the chase DI played a song that is was written 20 years ago and is still a favorite with the punkers, "Richard Hung Himself". Now the crowd was getting loud and screaming for more.

With the musical assault continuing, DI perfomed "Guns", "O.C. Life" and "Imminent War". The crowd was now whipped into a frenzy and the pit was going off. The crowd went nuts when Casey came out with a VISION old school Psycho Stick. The deck probably had 30 hands on it during the melee to claim it. The claim process stopped with the guy that had a death grip on it.

Then Chickenhead threw a bunch of VISION Street Wear shirts to various parts of the crowd with stickers raining down on the audience.

During the set Casey peeled the back off a Team Goon sticker and placed it on the collar of the security guy at the front of the stage. The dude had no idea it was there as the crowd laughed at the Casey Royer hi-jinx.

With in between song banter kept to a minimum, there was time for a few more songs. Not wanting to stop, DI played 2 more songs with "Hang Ten in East Berlin" and finishing out with "Johnny's Got a Problem" and saying Thank You Seattle - see you soon.
Agent Orange

Staying with the Fullerton invasion theme was the boys originally from the Troy High School area, Agent Orange. It was now their turn to keep the crowd going. Right out of the box Agent Orange lit up the stage. During the set a kid in the audience asked who this was playing. We said, Agent Orange. The 14 year old replied with, "I think these guys are my new favorite band".

During the set was a tribute to Joey Ramone and they played the song "Too Young to Die" to the man that lead to the birth of many great Punk bands. A very strong set was delivered by the boys of Agent Orange that left the crowd numb. Look for some session photos in the future as we go out to skate with the lead singer/guitaist, Mike Palm.
