Well….Snapcase is dead. They themselves say so on the startup page of their website. http://www.snapcase.com/
The following is the final message from Snapcase. After which I will submit a terse review of the show.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to anyone and everyone who has supported snapcase in any capacity whatsoever. Thank you for listening to our music, coming to our shows, and of course moshing the good mosh. It has definitely been an amazing journey these past fourteen years and there have been many changes throughout that time. However, one thing has always remained constant and that is our amazing fans and friends and families, without whom we would be nothing more than five guys making loud noise. you have made this emotional traversal of the better part of the last decade and a half worth every single second, some more excruciating than others. As those who were in attendance witnessed on January 22nd, the final performance was an energetic and emotional celebration of the death of the snapcase. Once again, thank you all.
......We are in the process of compiling a career retrospective DVD that will include the final performance in it's entirety as well historic footage, interviews, music videos, and other bonus features. We are currently looking for video submissions for this project so if you or anyone you know has any footage of snapcase or anything relating to snapcase that you believe to be relevant, please contact us to find out how you can send it in. All video formats accepted. Expect a summer release for the DVD. Email us at
......We've also added the final show "RIP" t-shirt design to our online store so if you wanted one and missed out at the last show or you were unable to make it to Buffalo on the 22nd, you're in luck. They're available here.

LiveReview:
First off it looks like you will get to see the show if you didn’t catch it. Or re-experience the show if you were somewhat incapacitated, cough, cough…ahem…like me. Hey, it was my post-bachelor party. Anyways: “We are in the process of compiling a career retrospective DVD that will include the final performance in it's entirety”. That is awesome. I’ll probably see myself being squashed, beaten and hoisted into the air by my comrades for my first crowd surfing experience. At any rate I am sure it’ll be as embarrassing as me dancing at my friends wedding to Brainstorm’s “Popcorn”, in which I ended up spinning on my side on the ground like Curly (3 stooges fame, or Homer Simpson if you prefer), which is also on video. Of which my wife hasn’t seen yet thankfully.
From what I recall, the show totally Rawked. I’ll leave it up to the other PTF contributor who took me to the show to give the specifics. But they played a bunch of songs. (I just read that…well, duh they did) Old and new but not all of their “Hits” I think they just played what they wanted to. They had past member’s come out on stage for a few songs too. The whole set was hard hitting and full of their trademark intensity. The intensity that they poured out every time they played.
Snapcase closed.
