Here is Captain Cutiepie’s opening set from the Polyorchids show. I missed the first 5min of the show, then totally overexposed Erik for the next 8min. I finally get it right and it looks pretty good.

What a crazy night at the Blue Lamp on Saturday. I missed lightweight, but I was able to video The Barfly Effect- I saw them quite a while back and liked their CDs. They were heckled a bit by the crowd(more on them later), but they were good. I think they were just coming back from a long layoff.
Oh, and I was an idiot and mounted my microphone, turned it on, and then forgot to plug it in. So mediocre audio on this one for you.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. That was really nice- I appreciate you taking time out of your day to send something my way.
I know that my videos are not playing audio on phones only. They play fine on laptop and desktop systems. I tried to figure out a workaround for a few days but no luck. It looks like I need to change the way I film my single camera videos- no more 59fps/28mb AVCHD I guess. Sorry about that. If you really want to see this or any other silent videos, hit up a real computer.
OK, so this show was something else. This had the biggest pit I had ever seen at Blue Lamp. I am usually safe to film right in front of the mixing board, but not this time. I had to stand up in the mixing board area, and it is a good thing I did. I would have been clobbered. My camera goes sideways a few minutes in, due to my audio recorder getting pulled out of the mixing board(also a first ever). I saw a guy get his head pile-driven into the wood soundboard booth- it shook the entire thing. Crazy show- I had no idea SS brings that kind of crowd. Glad I didn’t multi cam- there’s no way they would have survived.

So the Tough Crowd (more on that later) seemed to like the Moans quite a bit. Some of the “pit dominators” started getting warmed up during their set. They were great as usual- Matt has such a great voice for their sound. I love their slower, melodic songs.

Here’s another set of killer harmony guitar leads, terrible jokes and the most pavement sounding songs I have heard outside of pavement(that’s a compliment). It’s the Anime Aliens! I was at the Colonial Cafe for the Dearly Divided show, but the timing worked out and I was able to catch this show too.

Dearly Divided came over from Oakland to play the Cafe. They are a great band (check out their bandcamp page) but it was a bit too loud for the tiny Cafe. Yet another show that made my ears ring even though I had earplugs in. Their drummer – aaron- is incredibly talented. The video is worth a watch just to see him playing fast properly.

Bastards of Young are going to Fest in Florida this year! They had a benefit show last Thursday to help with travel. They may need to have another bake sale or 2 for plane tickets, because not enough people showed up to the show. 🙂 I thought they’d pack the place, given that they are well-liked around town AND their members give back to the music community so generously (I’m talking to you, Patrick and Sean). If you want to help support them, grab some merch off of their bandcamp site- I’ll post it in the comments.
