WHERE THEY'VE PLAYED:

ILLINOIS

CARBONDALE-MUGSY MCQUIRE'S

A huge crowd [500 plus] blew the doors off anything seen during the 2006 Destruction Tour.  Wow! Southern Illinois is the home of metal. Our special thanks to Crunch Haven, the masterful promotions company that put this show together. None of this would have happened without their professional intervention. Hails! Carbondale's Poor King, two piece masters, caught the attention of the crowd followed by hardcore sensation, Lineage, comprised of ex-members of Monstrosity and guitarist, Will Mcclanhan; a spectacular soloist who has performed with Obituary. Annihilate took the stage to complete the perfect package. All three Illinois' bands combined to thrill screaming fans. EC seemed inspired by the crowd response and expressed their appreciation by putting on perhaps one of their best performances ever. Lead guitarist, Andy Rodriguez, put it this way: "The energy of the crowd was surreal, we lost track of time." The show ended with fans screaming for more and the sound manager being pummeled with insults for muting sound to end EC's extended forty-five minute set.

CHICAGO-O'MALLEY'S

Thanks to the hot lady in the front row that flashed EC.  Wow!  Great venue, awesome people. We're looking forward to getting back to O'Malley's.  The owner is a class act and demonstrated it with how he went out of his way to accomodate the show.  How much fun it was brutalizing Chicago, southwestern style.  If the fans weren't awake when we arrived they're dead when we left, uh I mean awake man awake!
