I spent most of the day at Uncle Doug's Chili Dog Fest @Side Bar and stepped over to Beerland for a few bands.
Here's the breakdown:
Carletta Sue Kay @Beerland;
Freshkills, Golden Boys, Purple Stickpin, Air Traffic Controllers, Hot Cha Cha, Kay Leotard, Zoltars, Melissa Bryan, Doug Gillard, Drunken Prayer, Jon Langford and Chums, Aaron Blount, The Ripe, Forever Changes, Crack Pipes @Side Bar;
Vockah Redu, OBN IIIs @Beerland;
December Boys, Church Shoes, Hex Dispensers, Kingdom of Suicide Lovers, Ugly Beats, A Giant Dog @Side Bar.
And that's it! I think there were another band playing after A Giant Dog, but their set was so good that it was the perfect way to end the week.

December 2, 2011: Hotel Vegas and Beerland

Early show (too early) @Hotel Vegas. Unfortunately, I missed most of Air Traffic Controllers' set at said early show (dang!), but on the plus side, Rhett and Dean and the French Inhales helped me move on.

And so, move on I did... to Beerland to see Gospel Truth, Cause for Applause and Natural Child. Two great shows in one night. It was a beautiful thing indeed.


Here are some PICS for your perusal...


I got some VIDS of Rhett and Dean and the French Inhales @Hotel Vegas and the Gospel Truth @Beerland....

October 4, 2011: HAAM Benefit Day

Went to shows @Red 7 and Beerland for HAAM Benefit day. Contributed a little money to a great cause and was instantly rewarded by some lovely thunder, some thunder was louder than others (some thunders' mothers are louder than other thunders' mothers) but it was all lovely; and it was delivered by the likes of Air Traffic Controllers, Eric Static, Modok, Sally Crewe and The Sudden Moves, Aaron Blount and Simple Circuit.

After the slideshow of the pics, you can see some video of Air Traffic Controllers, Eric Static, Sally Crewe and the Sudden Moves, Aaron Blount and Simple Circuit.
