Thanks to the bands and to Hell's Kitchen for allowing me to record. Live painting by Rogue Citizen. Could have put some compression on this for the iPoders but I was happy enough to leave it alone.

You can pick up The Blind Shake merchandise through the Learning Curve Records Store. If we support these fine young lads they can make more music for us. I pulled out "Carmel" and some other recordings to put together the set list as best I could. Birthday Suits and a fully reunited Vampires Hands were also in on this jam.

Out of everything that was recorded in 2009 this set from The Deaf is certainly in my personal top 10 favorites. With 90 some shows recorded and who knows how many bands there's a lot of competition to beat out. This is something I've been really excited to get out there, it's just taken me a little over a week to do so. I'm still working on the set list but new songs were played. Seawhores, The Deaf, In Defence and Gay Witch Abortion supported The Blind Shake. Thanks to The Deaf, Learning Curve Records and The Triple Rock for allowing this fine evening of music to be documented. Support local bands, labels & venues in 2010 and every year after that. It's never been more important.
