Review by: Lorenzo Bettelli of Syrian

Editorial note: Lorenzo is Italian. He originally sent me an English version of this review but thought he could better express himself in his native tongue. Rather than attempt a half-asses translation with some free online software, I have decided to post it in the original Italian. Feel free to run it through a translator yourself if you like.

Day 3: Sunday, September 5th

The idea that festival-goers may have been indulging themselves a bit much in Brooklyn culture (read: beer and late night partying) throughout Triton was never more supported than on Sunday afternoon when Acey Slade and the Dark Party took the stage. Despite the start time being pushed back considerably due to sound check overruns, Oceana Hall was nearly 2/3rds empty when the first kick fell. Slade’s an experienced professional however – having played previously in such bands as Murderdolls and Vampire Love Dolls (though, certainly, not the Goo Goo Dolls) – and rocked it like the room was full. Not my personal style of music, though I did have to agree with the band’s declaration of the Cult’s “She Sells Sanctuary” as a scene staple.
