A capacity crowd of nearly 200 metalheads, thrashers, and other fine folks represented at the "100% Heavy Metal" Not in Our Name benefit show last night in Oakland. Along with I Love a Parade, Hacksaw to the Throat, and Hammers of Misfortune, surprise special guests "O" from Orange County kick started the evening. The October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality and Bad Rap (pit bull support and rescue) set up shop to table as well.
