Alexisonfire Return to Detroit for the First Time in Over a Decade

This was probably the most open I have ever felt about my connection with music, a band, this city, and my life. I left it all on the floor of the venue, along with a pound or two of sweat. A lot of time was lived between my first AOF set in the early 2000s to a packed Fillmore 20 years later… I find myself to be a man who can easily dig into his emotions, but this was sensory overload for what seemed to be the entire room. This was by no means the first time I witnessed this band live and hopefully not the last either. I am in the small group that saw them in very small venues for the cost of a Starbucks coffee today and I finally got to erase them off the top of the bucketlist. 7 years after I walked out of Deftones at Pine Knob having photographed my favorite band of all time at my first big concert for photography…

Time is a circle pit, and I got weird on the main floor during “Dogs Blood”

This path from 2002 to 2022 contains blood, sex, violence, suicide, murder, redemption, betrayal, forgiveness, and well I want to warn anyone who doesn't like honesty from wildlings like myself, I'm going in on my chaos story here and opening up.

I am not a person who wants to offend people. I am blunt. I am belligerent. But I am also empathetic and kind, and even delightful at times. That's the range here. I have to be honest. My life has not been just me stoned walking through it being aloof to reality. And it fails in comparison to so many I know. I feel silly even digging into anything too deep through this shit, but alas, here I am doing it. Silly goosing it the fuck up. All those dark things I mentioned gave way for art to help us through the darkest of times. Literally the worst parts of my life had the best soundtrack. How truly terrible the pain was and how lasting the effects of despair would drag on… How would I end up standing in this photo pit after all of that, awaiting Elliott’s 2nd show in almost 20 years. 12 years after the last time AOF was here. Why me? I didn’t deserve it. I have been tapering off for a while now, just floating through pure exhaustion and the weight of middle age starting to squash what is left of my youth. And here sits two bands that unbeknownst to me are about to make me cry in public, a lot.

Some that have been through the dark don't like talking about a lot of things publicly. I found a way to relate it all to the different periods of time when these bands first meant everything to all of us. It is impossible for me not to think of my friends who loved this band back when the idea of Dallas with a smidgen of grey in his beard wasn’t fathomable. Before walking into the venue I literally tweezed a grey nose hair from my left nostril and sent a shockwave through my face almost as punishable as the realization that this wasn’t the first time for this either. I also can’t help but think about my friends who no longer exist in this life but only in memories laughing at those of us still here getting older and living whatever way we can through this hellscape.

This didn’t make me feel any younger. What it did was validate the feeling in my chest that this was not about haircare products. This had nothing to do with fashion. Tattoos. Even photography. This was about something much bigger than that. A lot of shows have came and gone but this one seemed to go so quick but months later I’m still sitting here wondering why more didn’t make me feel like this. It felt like I brought my innards to the biology mechanic and had em do some kind of physiological tune-up before sending me to a therapist who helped clear the cloudiness in my head. I left with red eyes, dampened facial hair, a camera full of photos, sore feet, a bruised shoulder, and the audacity to think any of this had anything to really do with me. I shed a few layers of my selfishness that night and grew a little wiser.

They gave me a crash course in redemption…

None of this took away from how long I had been waiting for this. It took 12 years to get them back to Detroit. It was so worth the wait... I couldn’t imagine being into this band and this being the first time seeing them. Those old shows were on another level and so much more intimate. This felt like being in a mega-church for the damaged. For me, I praised the idea of catharsis, of letting go, and igniting like a fucking phoenix in flames. Sure, I sobbed like a baby throughout the night, several times. Okay, maybe a half dozen times. Alright like, 9 times.

“Nobody wants to admit they cried 9 times at an Alexisonfire show.”

Alexisonfire was a headliner to me the first time I saw them on a friend's satellite TV. Much Music was not something everyone had in the Detroit area. But it wasn't impossible back then. It was super early on I mean “Pulmonary Archery” was the first single and it was brand spanking new like just debuted that week. By chance I was probably one of the first people to hear them let alone first Americans to. Mind you it was getting easier to share music online by 02 but a smaller band from Canada might be a little harder. I feel like we were in Pure Volume listening to the first few songs that week. Pure Volume, yeah I said it.

Witnessing this band as teenagers to filling the Fillmore in Detroit 20 years later is just one of the coolest ascents I have seen and been a part of in my entire life. I am a total fanboy for this band and I can’t help it. They just write the music I wish I could write. They say things I wish I could say. And they make me and a lot of other people feel in ways other artists just can’t do.

See, Bands, do you get it? If you reach down and pull it all out for everyone to see, you just might get lifelong fans who are more like rabid post-hardcore kids turned middle-aged dweebs like me. Busting out of mosh-retirement to thoroughly creep out everyone they can with weird Steele-inspired body contortions and facial expressions (see directly above), all while just trying to get oxygen back to their brains before their dab-induced redeyes roll into the back of their heads…

HOWLS HEARD FROM, MILES AROUND…

You are not mother fucking Roger Murtaugh and you’re sure as shit, not Danny Glover. That means you’re not too old for this shit. So stop saying that! Go to shows! Go dance you hippies!

Do you know what the last song is on the story vic posted last? It sounds like touch me but I'm not sure😭

[X] I was thinking the same thing. 🥺 But I don't think it was Touch me. If I remember right, Vic plays that black and white bass (lmao I notice the colors, I don't know anything else sorry) only when they play Gasoline. And looking at the setlist, it's probably the intro to Gasoline?! But I am not sure. 😔
