Thank you to MONO for their support on taping over the years and thanks for First Avenue for being cool with it dependent on the band as well. All 3 shows I've taped at the Triple Rock since 2005 have been amazing but this may end up being my favorite only because they have that legendary First Avenue sound behind them. Please support this band at the merch table or online, they work extremely hard and deserve it.

I had planned on posting this earlier in the week but then got busy. Got in a car with Eyedea & Abilities friday morning to tape their shows in Fargo...got back satuday afternoon and hung out with the girlfriend but it's 2am sunday morning and I hope you enjoy. 7 days later is certainly better than 7 months later!

The Triple Rock Friday October 19th...

Ladyslipper, Mictlan of Doomtree & A Night in the Box with Kill the Vultures headlining.

Good show. Ladyslipper is all for taping. I don't think Mictlan cares for it much. The air conditioning system was extra loud. ANITB's parents stuck around to chat through KTV's set. I don't think I'll torrent anything from the 19th anytime soon.

I thought about keeping this one in the crew but that would be selfish. All I ask is that you please help seed the torrent out to others after you complete the download. If this ends up being sold on ebay or anywhere else no more E&A recordings will be circulated by me.

Towards the end of the show the breakers set up shop to my right and start arguing about who's the badest B-boy in town. This is drowned out by the music for the most part.

E&A support audio and video taping so you are welcome to document the coming tour. Soundboard recording is cool as long as the house sound engineer is cool with it. Keep an eye on their page...tour dates coming soon.

Abzorbr opened the Negative One and the New Rebelution CD Release show. Unfortunately I was not able to stay for the whole show. Jon Wayne & the Pain, Omaur Bliss and Heatbox all had sets so be sure to check them out. This is the first Abzorbr tape to circulate with Kyle on the sax.

I'm not sure if anyone else left town with them for the 4 shows outside of MN. The last show I taped on 8-3 was just West and Matt but it's nice to hear the Violin in there again. The new album "Dry Land" is out now.

BuddyGoodness also got 2 video angles (HDR-HC1 & Canon XL2). I don't know when/if a DVD will be made available. I'm just going to rock this sbd and not bother him about it.

The Beat is a really neat place and if you live in the area you should check it out. Empires and Laddyslipper are two great local bands but I was very interested in taping Portrait of a Drowned Man from Duluth again. I meant to ask for a sbd patch but they were playing first and I was in the other room placing an order when they started to get ready so I ran over to finish setting up. After the show I was talking to Jeff from the Beat and he mentioned next time I should plug into the board because there are some mics suspended from the ceiling that are mixed into the board that yield really full bodied recordings. Ugh! I had a 2nd recorder and a cable ready...oh well, I'm really happy with these audience tapes and at least I know for next time. Thank you to the Beat and all of the bands for being cool with taping.

For some reason this venue has been booking bands since it opened in April yet it was my first time there. Such a great place. If you're in the area please do check it out. Great 4 band bill but Sleeping in Gethsemane was the only band I had not heard of before. Wow...I really like this recording but I fear it won't do their live show justice. It's a good thing Fargo isn't far away because I'd really like to see them again.

Thank you to everyone that made documenting this show possible from BC to the band's management to the Roy's staff. It is appreciated. It was nice hanging out with some other local tapers...good people and not just because they're tapers!

We would have liked to run from 10' but after being denied one stand and then being allowed to bring in a smaller one we wanted to keep a low profile.

I am really happy with the sound on this, I hope you enjoy.
