At The Hexagon and The Triple Rock Tonight...

Two great shows on a night where I don't feel like doing anything. Don't be lazy like me.

If you felt like it you could send The Funeral And The Twilight off proper at The Hexagon as they will be doing some Midwestern dates with Stephen Paul Smoker and Grace Kulp.

Humanda is Michael Warren and Evan Ishmael.

Screamin' Cyn Cyn and the Pons (Madison, WI), Fort Wilson Riot and Speeds the Name played as well. I wanted to stay for Fort Wilson Riot and Speeds the Name but I had to head down the street to Palmer's to record El Le Faunt & His Traveling Circus. It was another damn fine night of music on the West Bank. Thank you to the bands and to The Triple Rock. Two songs were omitted per request.
