MORNING AFTER: BRAD HANCOCK MEMORIAL SHOW

This isn't going to be a typical play-by-play of the show the other night, because we're still trying to process everything.

In short, it was amazing. It was one of the most fun shows I've ever been a part of and I wanted to thank Blake and Jessica for everything they did to get it together. Thanks, also, to all the bands that played, everyone that donated raffle prizes, and everyone that showed up early and/or stayed late.

Seven Daggers, Close Grip, Despite Despair, Skeiff D'Bargg, City to City, Cherem, Aftermath of a Trainwreck, Tamerlane, Pushing Up Daisies and Clear were all fantastic and heartfelt appreciation goes out to each and every person in those bands for dedicating your time, energy, and heart to getting your sets ready over the past few months.

I, like most of you I'm sure, spent a long time yesterday searching Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube for pictures and videos from the show. You guys did a great job of being in the moment during the show, but also documenting it, so good job on that front. It's a hard thing to pull off these days.

If you have footage (of any kind) from the show, feel free to send me a link at trevorhale@gmail.com. I'd be happy to post videos and photos from the show up here over the next few days/weeks.

There won't be a lot of new content on GCA going forward, but there may be some. Dan and I didn't quite finish all the 101's we had planned, but we'd like to. Our goal is to finish the rest and roll them out over the course of a few weeks and maybe get them all collected into a zine at some point this year. Fingers crossed on that.

Thanks again to everyone that reads this site, commented and shared Facebook posts, came to the show, threw punches and kicks, and had a good fucking time.

Thanks to Byron (of Skeiff D'Bargg) for the City to City set below. Hopefully there's more to come.

Whoa. Hey guys. It's been a minute.

The GCA has fallen by the wayside the past couple of years, as you've probably noticed. Dan, Sias and I all got (and continue to be) too busy to keep up with everything going on in SLC.

Luckily for you guys there's a new site run by dedicated people to keep you all in the loop. They've even got a nifty little group text feature to keep you updated on shows—something that we never even thought of over here.

Head over and give them your support.

Also, and brace yourselves here—

There is a message board.

My, oh my, what fun they're in for.

But seriously, head over and check it out. They're doing some great stuff there and everyone that still wants a hardcore scene—or hell, even a local music scene—should be supporting this site.

LIFE OR DEATH NEEDS BOOKING

We were recently contacted by Life or Death about getting a show in Salt Lake sometime soon.  If you are interested in booking Life or Death get in touch with Tristan at lifeordeathbooking@gmail.com.  It would be awesome if these guys came through again.  The last show they played here with Dismantled was pretty great.
