I Adapt, Dordingull.com benefit, Hitt Húsið, 23 march 2002
Boy what a fantastic gig! First of all the line up; Reaper, Citizen Joe, Spildog, Down To Earth, Sólstafir, Dys, Forgarður Helvítis, Andlát, a Faroese Island band called Makrel and us! Does it get any better than that? This was a benefit for the web-area that is the glue for our little scene here in Iceland and hosts our webpage along with plenty of others. The whole event started early, at 5 in the afternoon so it was finished early and therefore a completely all ages show. We were so happy to be playing this show and you could see that from our performance, I think we have rarely been this good. We were tighter than a tight thing, haven’t been this lively on stage for a long time and delivered everything unusually well. The crowd was huge filled with people of all ages, scene mainstays and newcomers, metal kids, punks and hardcore kids, just the way it should be! There were massive sing-a-longs during our set and we joked a lot between songs keeping the atmoshpere very happy and positive. Villi sang unusually much in the back ups which made for a good change in our sound. Probably my favorite gig in a long, long time. The other bands were kick ass as well and all members of I Adapt were smiling from the first note of the evening till the last. This gig was Hardcore as good as it gets.
