{{Karlification box|"late summer 1984" acc to Justin. it was "Southbridge, Massachusetts…Battle of the Bands at some kind of local fair/harvest festival. That competition was co-sponsored by a guitar shop in that town. [a really pro sounding band called] Avalanche played later." 3 bands total. maybe the internet can help you
ok Justin says:
"I seriously doubt that our band Fury ever played at Bridges…"
and says
"Summer of 84 Fury played their first show at a battle of the bands that took place in a State Fair in Southbridge, Mass. "
thats the one with the one known photo, yellow tent.
also: there is audio of that show! that i now have. for now, just accept there is audio (setlist noted above somewhere)|[[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A With Karl Koch - February 2025]]}}
