Plague Vendor, one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. These guys should be selling out venues with how amazing their stage presence is. From the moment the band stepped on stage, frontman Brandon Blaine filled the room with his raw energy.
Blaine wasted no time getting straight into his groove. The night started off with Plague Vendor busting out to Black Sap Scriptures, with Blaine proceeding to do a handstand on the band’s drumkit… thus knocking out one of the ceiling panels. First song in and the crowd and band’s already getting rowdy? That’s the perfect set up to an insane show.
As the band powered through their set, Blaine was in constant motion, seeking out anything to grab onto. Whether he was jamming his fingers into the ceiling panels or clinging to one of the lights and playfully licking it, he was determined to keep the room energized.

There was no doubt that everyone in attendance was having a great time; with everyone grinning ear to ear while moshing, Plague Vendor knows how to make everyone have a good time.
Plague Vendor ended the night with Locomotive with Blaine crowd surfing and making his way through the audience encouraging the crowd to split the pit in two and mosh on his count. Plague Vendor’s performance was filled with a whirlwind of chaotic energy, punk-spirited tunes, and rowdiness. Next time Plague Vendor’s in town, make sure you go see them, it’s not a show you’d ever wanna miss.
