Who: Modern Life is War, Beat Strings, Old Scratch, William Elliot Whitmore, Desperation, and Quick Fix
What: Modern Life is War's final Show
When: April 26th, 2008
Where: Moose Lodge Marshalltown, Iowa
Why: Because they died.
640 young punks showed up for one of the greatest events in the history of Iowa music. Everyone was one. From the first strum of Breaking the Cycle, to breaking the stage 45 seconds into it, to the first strum of Breaking the Cycle once more to the very last word and guitar strum of Hair-Raising Accounts of a Restless Ghost. They were all there for the same purpose, to make sure their favorite band went out with the biggest bang a band could go out with. They succeeded. Never has the smell of sweat smelt so intriguing, so energizing, so amazing. This band has done so much for not only myself, but many others out there. They may have "died" as a band, but they will forever live in the hearts of the people who love them.
