    It’s funny that the dude on the D.R.I. logo is clearly 2 stepping, because that’s definitely not what’s happening in the mosh pit at a D.R.I. show. But yeah, hardcore shows are like a little choreographed 2 step dance routine, it’s fun to watch.

      Funny you should mention that. About 15 years ago I was at a DRI show in a club that was way too small for the crowd. The punks and thrashers had a circle going around the hXc kids doing their moves in the center. I have always been a two-stepper, and the song hit a point that was perfect to throw it down. Except I slipped in a spilled beer and started to go down face first. I was stopped because I took an accidental donkey kick from the biggest dude in our hXc scene. That sent me flying completely the other direction and I bashed the back of my head on a bar table, knocking me out cold. I woke up a few minutes later on the patio just as my friends who drug me out were about to call an ambulance. That’s why I love DRI, they draw everyone. I saw them earlier this year and the oldest dude in the pit was 62 and tearing it up right next to teenagers.
