I walked into a Kepi Ghoulie/Mean Jeans show in 2013 and there was this kickass band playing. The singer looked like he was about 12! The drummer was amazing! I went to the merch table to find out who they were. “Emily’s Army”. I did not find out later that the drummer has some famous relatives.
So, I went to Gilman with my newly acquired Canon HFG10 to film them. I also put a Canon HFM30 in the balcony. Well, neither angle turned out great so I did not edit them together, but they are both here for you to watch. EA at their peak here, playing to a packed house at Gilman. I went to unplug my equipment from the soundboard and the soundguy asks me “are you the dad of one of the band members” GRR. No sonny, I have been filming at Gilman since BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. Damned kids anyway.
Big thanks to Todd Pritchard for telling me what to do! Not only did Todd ask for this Emily’s Army show, but I screwed up and did the wrong one so he gets a 2fer. More EA coming soon. It looks like a guy named Mike C used some nice gear to film this same show and has a ton of views on youtube. I wonder if these angles would edit well- they are definitely different enough.
