Oh man, this was good.  Say what you want about Brick By Brick... I've always liked the proportion of stage to dance/floor and bar...lots of room... This night I didn't really get the color balance right, and tried adjusting it in Vegas...  I guess I could use some help. Very red indeed.  Love Retox though, fast and furious, and urban assult on the ears, in a good way.

Innerds, fronted by Bobby Bray, of The Locust... I like this one a bit more than the others because I took the camera and held it up high over my head and had no idea what i was gonna get, just hoped I could capture a nice over head shot of the band... turned out ok.

Love Upsilon Acrux.  I hadn't seen these guys in over ten years, since my KCR Radio days.

These guys, blew me away. Such ferocity. I had never been to the Tower Bar before, and seeing these bands during my first visit made me really appreciate the grunginess and comfort that dive bars give you.  This music is perfect. Hands started to cramp up during this set...was a long night of camera work. But well worth it.

Opening act for the Mnstrpsy event at The Tower Bar, 9/16/11.  Randy Chiruazzi blows it wide open with this cool experimental-improvisational guitar abuse.
