The Appleseed Cast Vs. Marijuana Deathsquads

I was pretty torn about tonight. I've recorded The Appleseed Cast the past two years in a row (2009 and 2010) at The Triple Rock but I also spent a good 6 months recording the Marijuana Deathsquads residency at Nick & Eddie last year. With things coming full circle at Nick & Eddie tonight for the Deathsquads LP release I was happy to hear that P.J. will be covering The Triple Rock!

Marijuana Deathsquads - Love Power After Bar Set (01-14-11)

Facebook | Myspace

The first official dust up at Lover Power featured a 6 hour two floor freak out. Olson and Ackerman promised a party, they delivered a marathon blowout. Special thanks to Garrison for setting this up. Folks were helping pick up at the end of the night so I hope all is well and look forward to future events inside this building. Plans for a mix tape are in the far off future but in the meantime I wanted to post the MDS After Bar set. Sorry it took so long but somehow a noon trip to the gym sounded like the ticket? Enjoy and see you at a bloody mary bar somewhere south of Franklin in about 30.
