Another night of seeing friends in bands, there's nothing better. Rick "I Ain't No F&@kin' Egg" Blair from Irradio has a new band, Awakeners. Click on a photo to go to the full gallery.



Radio Room had a great lighting scheme. Eleven's red curtain and dim front lighting makes it really tough to get good shots. I don't like bright backgrounds but you work with what you got.



I really enjoyed this set, the music is full of cool riffs.

Like most nights, Sal works the door at Eleven. If his band, Dead Ghosts, is playing that night, he'll get someone to cover his shift for just the 40 minutes while he plays. That's dedication.



The lights were even dimmer now, and I had to use really slow shutter speeds and let some noise creep in, but it works for these guys.



Sam the drummer is very kinetic. Every beat, he raises his arms at the last possible moment before slamming them down hard on the drums.





The next night after this would be my third workday in a row staying out late at shows. Can you believe that I do this for free? Sometimes I can't.
