the date for this years compound fest was august 5, 2006. the bill was made up of mostly bands that use the space as their practice site and a few other bands as well.

i had to leave at 6pm to arrange my ride for the evenings red krayola/blktygr show (those photos soon) so inevitably i missed a handful of bands (muamin, giant eagle, tall pines, homo stupids, boattz, short rabbits, friend..).

thanks goes out to the organizers including john neely that organized the bands and mr dilibarto (sp?) that was the main chef in front of the grill all day. also, much love to all the other folks (bands, sound,etc..) that provided their time and energy.

some of the bands i did catch was: roue, jerk, leroy’s frosted rocks, rainy day saints, sounder, this moment in black history, state of ohio, brandons new band & blazer.

the photos are here, last years inaugural compound fest shots are here..

BTW: i’m going through this panoramic/sepia thing, please bear with me..

big a little a, jerk and scarcity of tanks performed at the inside/outside gallery march 11, 2006. Aa headlined the show and incorporate four drummers in their band and we all know that a band can never have enough drummers (see liars new album).
Aa is a cool name for a band but it kinda makes looking them up in search engines pretty tough and that coupled with the fact that there is another Aa! band from japan that had a hit single..

the photos are here.

the hoagie-down festival was conceived by tony merritt. the event featured several musicians from bands roue, jerk, neil blender, plus ultra. there was also a real big hoagie.

those shots from november 23, 2005 are here.
