CAVE IN Performed live at Bridge Nine (Recap)

CAVE IN performed the most intimate of sets live in the Bridge Nine warehouse on Friday, July 7th, 2023.

I’ve been a fan of Cave In since their inception. Both Cave In and Bridge Nine got started in 1995. In 2000, I began working for Lumberjack Distribution assisting Big Wheel Recreation and Cave In’s label at the time, Hydra Head Records, right as Jupiter was being released, and I had a chance to see them navigate a very transitional time for the band.

In 2022, I was asked if Cave In could record a music video in our yet-to-be renovated warehouse space, here at the new B9HQ. It was for the song “Reckoning” on their new album, Heavy Pendulum on Relapse Records. Check out that video HERE!

When the warehouse was finished and we were ready to start asking bands to perform in it, Cave In was one of the first bands that we asked. Artist Thomas Hooper contributed a great illustration for our show posters, and I hand numbered them before the show.

Jason Zucco, who directed the music video for “Reckoning” returned to Bridge Nine and with the assistance of Ian McFarland (The Godfathers of Hardcore) helped capture Cave In’s live performance. We’ll let you know when the video is ready!

I want to thank everyone involved with making this evening happen, and everyone who came out and spent it with us.

Cave In LIVE at Bridge Nine Warehouse on Friday, July 7th

June 30, 2023 Bridge Nine

Flyer designed by Thomas Hooper (@thomas__hooper)

Cave In is a band close to our hearts here in Boston. Not only did they get their start in Methuen, MA, but they were originally signed to Hydra Head, one of the labels that Bridge Nine shared a space with at the original 'Initech' office near Fenway Park!

Just over a year ago, Cave In used our then-unfinished warehouse space to record the music video for the song "Reckoning" off their album Heavy Pendulum, released on Relapse Records.

Next Friday (7/7), they're bringing things full circle and doing us the honor of performing for the third event in our B9 warehouse series! We're excited to welcome you to come and share this experience with us.

ATTENDANCE IS FREE, BUT LIMITED. You will be able to reserve your spot starting today by coming to our storefront in Beverly, MA during normal hours while supplies last. Tickets are non-transferrable.

Doors are at 7 PM, performance starts at 8 PM.

It was an honor and a privilege to invite American Nightmare to perform live in the Bridge Nine warehouse on Friday, June 9th, 2023.

Our label would not have been the same had we not once shared an apartment with members of American Nightmare as they wrote the songs that became the band’s debut EP in the fall of 1999.

To have the band return and be a part of the community we are trying to build here in Beverly was nothing short of one of the most memorable evenings we’ve experienced as a label, and we are thankful to have been able to share it with those who were able to make it.

A special thank you to Wes, Josh, Brian, Alex, and Jim for performing. Thank you to Linas Garsys for the fantastic imagery, to Chris Padgett for running sound, to Larry Kelley for helping everything run smoothly, to Anthony Moreschi, Bill Fulkerson, Chris Padgett, Todd Pollock, Adam Tanner, Aaron Pepelis, Dom Dinardo, Johna Jo, Pats Polaroidz, Al Quint, and others for helping to document the evening. And thank you to Liquid Death for murdering our guests’ thirst!

Performance #3 is in the works; details soon…
