Headlining the evening was Winter Ransom! I don’t think these guys need an introduction, they’ve been featured on my site several times. They put on an amazing set as always, and even played some new songs! Once again Homer from FYN joined them onstage for a few songs, can we expect this to be a regular occurrence? I hear he’s been practicing with them more these days…

Next up was Waking the Bates. I thought these guys were great! I snapped pics for a few songs, then decided to sit down and enjoy the show. Lead singer Nick belted out Tom-York-esque vocals while jamming on bluesy to metal riffs on either his guitar/mandolin/keyboard.

A night in Midtown, what a great night of music! The evening began with Paperwork, a Hiphop collective featuring Brandon Ivy and Dustin Ell. I’d seen Dustin do an impromptu song with Josh Yoder of Jungol once, and I was excited to see him perform again! Paperwork was pretty good, but it left me wanting to hear some live instruments rather than some looped tracks. Someone get Matt Donald onstage to back ’em up!

I went and saw the Andrew and the Disapyramids play at The Drunken Unicorn on Saturday June 4th. They put on a fantastic show! I dragged Lindsay and Akin to the showing saying “You’ve GOT to see this band! I want to hire them for our grand opening at Darwin’s!

I’ve already spoken to Drew and Jordan about it, the next step is to figure out when we’re opening!
