LOS ANGELES, CA-
“…Closing the show were the hosts of the night, the Toxhards, who were introduced by members of Chasing Desolation. The band consists of Alan Macchiariolo (vocals/bass/guitar/drums), Casey Donovan (drums/vocals), Emerson Harris (guitar/bass), and Matt Garcia (guitar). Unbeknownst to me at first, Casey wasn’t dressed in an inflatable pig costume just because we were at a Halloween party. This was regular attire he performed in, but we’ll get more into that later. The Toxhards weren’t originally performing when the lineup was announced. When Satellite Citi had to drop out due to a member being sick, the Toxhards were added. For their fourth song, they brought lead singer Alan’s girlfriend, Amanda, out to do vocals on an incredible cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls on Parade”, and the crowd loved every second of it. Halfway through their set, Alan took over on the drums while Casey took over vocals for two songs. The second song is when the inflated pig costume starts to make sense. It’s for their song “Ængus the Prize Winning Hog”. As the song starts, a butcher jumps on stage and into the crowd. He then rejoins the band on stage for a scuffle with Ængus, but Ængus, the prize-winning hog, defeats him. After the song ends, the band threw three Toxhard shirts into the crowd and Alan switches back to vocals. After their eighth and, what the band thought was their final song, someone behind me yells, “Rush!”. After the band asks if they have time to do one more song, they begin an incredible nine-minute instrumental cover of “La Villa Strangiate” by Rush…”
