A Taste of First Ave
  A good showing of local scene supporters dropped in to First Ave to take in a sunday show.  Where a five band heavy-metal-hardcore mix gave the First Ave arena a good time jolt for the new year. 'Bleeding the Sick' was opening the all ages show, they played First Ave about a year ago with Head Charge. Here they would stir up the crowd to get the evening rolling. Andy of Minds Eye Multimedia was all setup doing multi-camera video recording of the show. 'Bleeding the Sick' will have DVD's available in the near future. For 'Gingerjake', it would be their first time on the main stage. With Amanda, the twins Joe and Eric along with Kris and Ian, they well presented their growing set of material as they are gearing up for a CD release. 'No One' and 'Dread Locked' from Chicago put forth some solid hard edged metal for the Mpls crowd. Alot of action as the evening closed out well rocked with a driving dose of 'Black Flood Diesel' for a rush of energy that is expected at a First Ave show.
