Punk rock attack 6

Yesterday evening was punk rock attack 6 at the SOJO club. Three bands on a thursday night and holiday on friday. The perfect evening!.

The first band were known locals, State of mine. This time with a different drummer and the regular drummer on guitar. Good show with some minor mistakes which made it even more fun!.

The second band came all the way from Gainesville, Florida (USA). Spanish Gamble is true punk rock in the style of a lot of Gainesville bands. Bands such as nothington comer into mind when listening to Spanish Gamble.
The guys played a great show and it was good to see them live for once. The audience however could have been more enthousiastic, which they finally became during the encore. Another good show! So it's two for two.

Last but not least, ALL but least! were Atlas Losing Grip presenting there new album State of unrest. Man, what a show! What a band! What an energy!. I love these guys and can't wait to see them again.

Octopussy's release show

So I finally got round to editing the pictures I took at The octopussy's release show. As I said in the previous post, these are not all that great because of horrible lighting (They should really pay more attention to lighting in punk).

During the ignored, who have a very energetic live performance, I was unable to get good pictures of the band because the lighting on stage was virtually non-existent. I managed to get a few crowd surfing shots.

During The octopussy's the lighting was a bit better, but as stated still not great. I managed to get a few reasonably ok shots but not my greatest work. The show however was a shot in the bullseye. Great show! Great guys! good times!

Congratulations on the new cd guys! It has been playing in the car ever since and is good driving to work get happy cd!

Bad lighting and beer

I just awoke from a action-packed weekend.
Saturday was the cd release of The octopussys where I attempted to take some pictures. This unfortunately didn't go all too well. The lighting just sucked and some guy managed to spill his entire beer on my camera.
The camera is ok, but there is a certain kind of smell attached to it now.
I will try to get the pictures edited sometime this week and upload them.

Sunday I had to perform myself with my own band (Another Effort), in a new posh club in Leuven. The stage was really cool and I saw someone taking pictures, so hopefully I can get my hands on them too.

Expect the Octopussys pictures later this week but do not expect to much :).

Next up Atlas Losing Grip /Spanish Gamble/State of Mine at the Sojo this thursday (19/05).
