Oh man, I’d have placed a bet I’d never see FFSH pop up on Reddit. Good memories of the Espresso Bar, I remember somehow getting into shows there as a mohawked 13 year old - remember Eastcide?

Oh yeah, there were a bunch of super local bands, 7 Hills Psychos too. Some other bands from around Central Ma like Forty Days Rain, saw Fragment a ton too.

It was all ages, I was probably 14 or so when I first went. Actually had two locations on James St if I remember, way down the hallway in back, and later towards the front of the building with street access.

I actually first saw FFSH at the first Waaf local bazooka when it was at Shore Park near the Greendale Y.

Eastcide! I haven't thought about them in years. Actually, decades!

Ugh, I wish I could go to a show like those again. I had a friend who used to be in one of those bands, a few friends but one really close friend, and he his band had a band room in one of those old warehouses on Cambridge Street. Awesome place to hang out, too.
