The Long and Short of It, Grand Tarantula, Drugs Wars, Scales at Casbah, 1/7/11

I'm really sick, so you'll have to forgive me if I don't regale you with my lyrical prose. This show happened last week at the Casbah. Click on a photo to go to the full gallery.

This dude danced epilipticly throughout the entire night. He got his money's worth of enjoyment, and I salute him for that.

I bumped into the Drug War's lead singer a couple times during the set as he walked into me, and then again at the end of the night in the bathroom. We traded cards in the bathroom after washing our hands, which is probably the least interesting thing that's ever been exchanged in there.

Retox played too, but there were enough photographers in the pit that there was no point in shooting. My friend Stephanie Null got some good video though. Gabe Serbian is a monster behind the drums.
