then out to shop for a few final souvenirs and a stop by Amoeba Records (LA) before conveining back to Echo Park to run through the equipment and setlist options. Decided down to Front Street to pick up some new threads from the always cool Endofanera clothing line to sport for tonight's show.Silver Factory studios turned out to be a
gallery room within a warehouse space near downtown; nate informes me this is the new thing to do as opposed to the traditional going to clubs to see bands. This was also our last show with the Blessure Grave crew as well, but the line-up was a good one and we had our lovely
LA contingent in tow. Local favorites Bestial
Mouths opened the night to a happy and
enthusiastic crowd, followed by Blessure Grave,
who put on another stellar show; the drums and
bass were especially rocking tonight. We were up third, and started the set off strong until the bass decided to drop out during Queens (SXSW flashback); we limped through China Walls and Flesh, where Jared joined us again and played beautifully despite the technical difficulties, and we recovered strong with Secrets, then proceeded finish the rest of the set respectably. Jared and Colin's band Full Frontal closed the evening and had everyone dancing into 2 encores. Loading out, we got to catch up with the other bands and friends; apparently a very smashed "reality TV winner" was in our midst, but didn't want her picture taken, so she will remain anonymous. We all gathered for one final group pic and closed out a phenominal night. Nate and I decided to drop Tommy off and take in an authentic Echo Park afterparty until the cold late hours of the California am; homemade tamales never tasted better!
