after work i tried to catch friends: "viva caramel" (VC will be headling a show at pat’s in the flats on may 28) and "lives of the saints" at the pirate cove. i arrived too late to see either but stayed through the "early man" and "burning bride" sets which was both a rockin good time.

halfway thru BB set they had some amp problems which prompted me to gather my stuff and head to the westside and try to catch "defiance ohio" at the tower. the tower recently closed and after a couple months they decided to start having a few show on the "down-low" meaning that it will be a word of mouth venue and will eliminate the promotion and flyers so they won’t have to close again. anyway, good luck for these are real fine people running the tower and an awesome space to see a couple rock bands..

the photos from the "defiance
ohio" set are in this gallery.

reorganized the "rock/punk/pop" gallery and created a sub gallery that has recent rock-shots at the top. (the most recent rock-shots are usually found in the most recent year gallery where after a couple weeks they are sent to the rock-shots
gallery..)

el guapo was back in cleveland this day with their sweet-beats. this set included songs of an upcoming album that
is not yet titled or available. i’d really like to listen to it
some more and am anticipating the release.

i had my vid-cam taping most of the show from a mini-tripod
upstairs of the pirate cove. below is some video.
