Surprise! It’s Reverse at Wonder Bar. That was unexpected.*
* And wonderful. Oh, and crazy amounts of fun.
Reverse @ Wonder Bar 11.01.2014
Township @ The Middle East Upstairs 10.17.2014
Equal parts muscle car and interstellar spaceship, Township brought Crash Safely to a magnificent conclusion. These guys are the stuff of legend. Their rocket-fuel-burning-454 of a set blew minds while raising money for the National MS Society.
White Dynomite @ The Middle East Upstairs 10.17.2014
If you’re going to have a fundraiser, it better be classy. Nothing says classy like a band in formal wear! The folks that run Crash Safely know what they’re doing, so they reached out to the gentlemen of White Dynomite to help raise money for the National MS Society. How civilized!
The Field Effect @ The Middle East Upstairs 10.17.2014
Here are some photographs of The Field Effect, purveyors of heart-stabby music, at The Middle East. The performance was part of the Crash Safely series of shows which aim to raise money for the National MS Society. It is worth noting that the band played well and engaged the audience with occasional use of quiet parts and screaming, though not always at the same time. Viewers should be warned about the foul language embroidered on Doug Orey’s Wrangler brand shirt. The photographs are rendered in black & white to make them appear important. Thank you for visiting.
Triple Thick @ The Middle East Upstairs 10.17.2014
Triple Thick rock ‘n’ roll. The folks attending Crash Safely got a good garage rock thumping while raising money for the National MS Society. I love it.
Animal Hospital @ The Middle East Upstairs 10.17.2014
Animal Hospital opened the final night of this year’s Crash Safely by showcasing their aural menagerie. Oh, and you can still donate and help raise money for the National MS Society. Maybe you’d like to do that.
The Cavedogs @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
When the Pipeline! at 25 lineup was announced, there was a big buzz around The Cavedogs reunion. They were about to prove why. Smart, vibrant, energetic and just plain fun, The Cavedogs rocked and rolled over at Cuisine en Locale.
Gigolo Aunts @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
Woo! Gigolo Aunts! Here’s another band-I-loved-but-haven’t-seen-in-forever coaxed back into the light by Bob Dubrow for the Pipeline! at 25 shows. Their set was ridiculous. Great songs.* Great performances. Great night.
* Mostly from Flippin’ Out.
Flying Nuns @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
Flying Nuns reunited for an intense set of electric post-punk as part of the Pipeline! at 25 series of shows.
The Rising Storm @ Cuisine en Locale 10.11.2014
Most bands don’t last 5 years. The Rising Storm have been together for nearly 50. They did a mix of originals and covers at Cuisine en Locale for the Pipeline! at 25 celebration.
