Crap, when I saw this thread I went looking for that.

Great band. Don't get into fights with their friends though.

I can't access YouTube until 4 PM, so someone may beat me to it, but this brings to mind a particular live clip of a Converge show. I'll throw it up when I can.

I have never heard the band Converge and I don't have speakers here at work. But, I'm already digging them, at least their bass player.

They even modded the recoil starter on the back of it, just like Haruko's lefty azureglo Ric; you can see it right when the player starts to wield it

Walking down the street with my first bass, no case my friend & I were followed by some dudes who had jumped out of a car.
They were yelling after us "hey give me the guitar." We did not slow down as they got closer my friend asked me "are you ready'?
I said yes & we spun around me with my bass as baseball bat.
My friend pulls a meat hook out of his bag (?!?) and we stare them down. Instantly all but one turned & ran except one guy held his ground, I made as if I was gonna swing & my friend raised the meat hook over his head & screamed at the top of his lungs. The guy practically peed his pants trying to get away. We laughed our asses off.
