Yowza, it's been almost two weeks since this show! My memory about musical performances isn't all that great to begin with, and it's even worse after waiting so long and having shot Mo' Sax right before this show.

First up was Grampadrew , kind of a strange name for a guy who isn't old enough to be someone's grampa.



Pretty much what you'd expect from an acoustic guitar and drum duo. Songs about old times, childhood, and lost innocence. It was nice to see the drummer use mallets, as regular drumsticks can be a bit overbearing in this quiet context.



------------------------------------------------------------

DDLC has raved to me a couple times about the next band, L.A.'s Paper Planes .



They play a countrified rock n roll, a lot like a local band I used to play with, High Rolling Loners .



The sound guy turned the lights deep blue and green, and I tried to keep them that way. I like this color pattern.





I remember that they played what seemed like a short set, so I guess that means I liked them.

As the Moons came on, the lights went to a deep red, which did not look as good as it should. I had to mess with a lot of toning and saturation to get a look that worked for the music.



Another guitar and drum duo, but totally different than the opener. The Moons play a very bluesy, lo-fi brand of rock. DDLC is a generous guy, he lent me a flash for all my group shots for a few months while I was too lazy to buy my own.



You'll notice that both Danny and Steve were wearing Hialeah T-shirts in honor of their farewell show here earlier that week .



Danny's always rocking the white hat, it makes him look mysterious under the spotlights.





Grampadrew came out for the last few songs to lend another voice and harp. This should be the real version of the Moons!



Grampadrew must have had a few shots after his set because he came to raise hell. Jumping, dancing and screaming his head off. This was a fun couple songs to shoot.



They're an L.A. band now too, but we'll still see them play down here plenty. Go see them!
