Useless Eaters
The Spin loves the end of the year, and all of the holidays it brings. But it’s easy to brown out on jolliness: To balance friends, family and legit day-drinking, there’s rampant commercialization and plenty of extra work to get done — not to mention, you know, war, poverty and starvation affecting those way less fortunate than us. We were honestly feeling a little Charlie Brown-ish on the way to The Stone Fox, and it didn’t help to hear that two of the night’s bands, Ohioans Obnox and Unholy Two, had
recently lost their gear in a tour-van fire. There’s always a bright side, though: Friends of the bands put together a collection of gear and hooked them up with a ride, so they'd be able to finish out their tour. Wednesday night, they would be joining Useless Eaters for the latest installment of Hate Life, the monthly rock show-slash-dance party organized by Ben Swank, Third Man Records mouthpiece and the Cream’s occasional rock 'n' roll advice columnist.
