Burger Records Showcase at Don Pedro
I already posted some shots of Apache from the Burger Records Showcase show at Don Pedro, but I figure I should do right by the other bands and post a few shots of them too. Here are three photos eaco of Cum Stain, Cosmonauts, and Conspiracy of Owls. My apologies to MMOSS, whose set I missed.

Stalkers at Lulu's
Nothing like a free show to bring people together. Free pizza (with purchase) didn't hurt either. But the main draw was the calibre of the music, which is to say that Stalkers kicked ass and inspired the audience to kick each other's ass. Can anything be more American than that? Happy 4th of July, folks.

Apache at Don Pedro
Apache are playing six shows in town this weekend (Thurs-Sat!) They can manage this kind of booking because they are absolutely incredible. Yes, their lyrics are solidly in the "turn brain off before use" category. But with a little help from the audience at Don Pedro, especially Josh (of the band Ex-Humans), they turned a room full of perfectly normal drunks into moshing headbanging psycho-drunks, which is just tremendous fun to photograph.

Nobunny at Cake Shop
I hope these photos make it look like Nobunny's show at Cake Shop was awesome. Honestly, it wasn't. I don't know every single thing that went wrong, but three barely-working mics and several broken bottles on the floor (notice that Nobunny doesn't wear shoes) must have had something to do with it. Too bad, because I have seen plenty of good performances by Nobunny, including his last one at Cake Shop.
Daddy Long Legs at Cake Shop
Bluesmen like Brian of Daddy Long Legs really know how how screamin' should be done. My ears are ringing just looking at this photo.
