At my first Club 770 show of 2005, I left about ten minutes into the headlining act. It was a Spitalfield show, and I'd been moderately getting into them, but they were far overshadowed by both the first band up, Faultlines, and Chicago-based Divide By Zero, who got the kids going in a way that openers at 770 usually don't.

Contrasted with Spitalfield and the dominant strains of modern "punk," DBZ's set burst with urgent legitimacy. Their use of complicated song structures was a big surprise, and they basically left me feeling good about the no-name openers of the indie rock world again. So sorry, Spitalfield, you've got some work to do.
