I've been wanting to check out Vinyl .45 for I'd say about 6 months, since they first started playing out, though it just hasn't happened.

So the fact that they were playing a free gig tonight was welcomed news. I'd just heard of it in terms of Vinyl .45, but looking into it, discovered it was the Glass Heroes 19th Anniversary gig. Pretty sweet, since it made it even more worthwhile going.

Photobox ImageReally enjoyed Vinyl .45. Unfortunately the vocal mix was all but non existent, which was unfortunate, and an annoyance to their singer as well as myself. Though, admittedly the reason I was there to check out McCaleb's guitar chops I've heard about for years, and there was no problem in achieving that end. With that said, I would definitely like to see them again with a better mix, where you can actually hear the vocals. 'Cause lyrically, I don't think I knew any more about them than I did before tonight. [wink]

First time at George & Dragon, which was kinda cool, however I must say the stage placement was very weird. I don't know if it's a permanent thing, or that area is usually used for restaurant seating. But if not, it'd be really worthwhile ripping out the wall between the stage and main room.

Chilled on the patio for the following band, who were from LA. I like punk rock, but I definitely have a beats per minute threshold, over which it becomes lost on me. Just like the way thrash metal is completely lost on me. Rogue Anthem definitely went over this threshold almost immediately, and so the patio was a fine place to be.

For the Glass Heroes, we pulled up at a booth, in preference of trying to find a spot in the small space in front of the stage. Which is fine with me, the amount of the Glass Heroes catalog that I know is sparse, though I dig what I do know. Ironically, they only played one song (Kick Down The Doors) out of that small subset. Would have been good if the sound was better, the vocals were maxing out, but still worthwhile sticking around for.

Cold Dead Eyes

With all the recent framing endeavors of late, we recently discussed how we need to expand our "promo photo" wall.

Well, getting home today, the August '92 Blossoms promo photo had arrived. It's kinda weird that between us, neither of us have/had any New Miserable Experience era promo photos.

I've read the article which references the photo countless times, but it's the first time I've seen an actual print of the photo, as opposed to digital copies. And as such, I now fully understand the reference to the cold dead eyes.
