Mass confusion reigned as the opening band, Prior Pawns was 45 minutes late. The laptop running their light show ran out of juice 2 songs into their set. They performed with the ViewSonic logo behind them for a few songs until someone thought to turn off the projector. This was their 6th show ever.
Two songs into their set, the drummer for Kilynn Lunsford announced that he had punched a hole in his kick drum, and there wouldn't be any more bass beats. The singer asked repeatedly if that was going to be okay, but the band just started playing and the show went on.
Kilynn Lunsford's set was great. Dark, swirling distortion, psychedelic and liminal.
I met azaghal for the first time, and mentioned the forum. He didn't seem wholly impressed.
