This show was in Atlanta, and was meant to be a three day jaunt with the three bands playing in each of their hometowns. A mini-tour if you will.
Columbia fell through because Thank God didn't want to play shows too close together, which worked out well for everyone. Thank God got to record in Columbia on Sunday, while Grids recorded in Charlotte, and Hawks hung out in town.
I only really have pictures from Hawks' set, because during the other bands I was either playing, partying, or trying to not have my camera destroyed. Pictures from their set:
Dan Smith got so belligerently drunk throughout the weekend that I can honestly say, I will never drink.
I wish I could take pictures well enough to document exactly what Hawks shows look like. This is as close as I can get. There needs to be people on top of the camera, and everything has to smell like beer for it to be closer.
put your trust in men
Thank God was great. I haven't listened to their new split lp, but this band is just unrelenting. Maybe the loudest band I've ever seen, definitely some of the coolest people I've met.
Also, there is this band called Yardwork, and, by some crazy fate of god, we ended up playing at a house whose back lawn was right next to the venue they were playing that night. With Yardwork and Grids out of town, who the fuck was left in Charlotte? (please understand this is a joke)
so, the trip was eventful as fuck, and I'm not really sure if I want to, but I'm going to put some pictures from the trip because it's hard to really put the show into context without a little help.
Grids+dansmith+stew left for Atlanta from Charlotte at midnight. what the fuck were we thinking.
everyone had sword fights with some swords. swords swords
