I tried making it in time to shoot the Moons again, but got to the Soda Bar too late and missed them. To my surprise, half of A Scribe Amidst the Lions and a quarter of Seesaw Ensemble were on stage as Knockout Bell.



I only caught the last two songs so I can't say exactly what I thought of the music, but it seemed to be a more jammy version of ASATL with spoken word interludes. Still packed with frenetics, which I really like.



Since this was my first time seeing Mike Hams away from the percussion, I focused on him.



Love those glowing blue hands. I much prefer this color scheme to the standard red and green one.



Incidentally, both of their "other" bands will be playing at my first solo show in February. Before that, I'm going to be giving a talk on my jazz photography at a very high profile gig, and I'll let you know more about that early next year.
