Dead Phones at Brooklyn Based (on Broadway)
One of the advantages of playing a show in the basement of a clothing store: the availability of props. Basil of Dead Phones was polite enough not to mess with the merch. Instead he choose to appropriate part of a dummy, which it turns out came in handy.

The Runaway Suns at Cake Shop
After a three-month hiatus following the departure of a band member, The Runaway Suns played their first show with their new lineup at the Cake Shop. While they had not yet returned to to form musically, it was nice to see that they still had the same old energy. Next time, boys, next time.

Camera Obscura at 1 Hanson Place
This particular performance took place in a former bank vault in the basement of 1 Hanson Place, also known as "that clock tower building" in downtown Brooklyn. The line to get in was enormous, and the entry door was only wide enough for one person at a time. Somehow they managed to get a couple of hundred people in there anyway for a free short set by the band.

Lubricated Goat at Bruar Falls
Lubricated Goat is probably best known in Australia, but lead singer/guitarist Stu Spasm currently lives in Brooklyn. While he has other bands, once in a while he plays a gig as Lubricated Goat with a new backing band, including drummer "Bloody" Rich Hutchins (lower right).

Tunnel Of Love at The Delancey
Noone who has seen them perform can deny that Tunnel Of Love are loud, aggressive, in-your-face, and all that. Somehow they just do it a little differently than most. They lack self-consciousness. Their provocation seems unintentional, achieved with as little effort as most of us walk down the street. There is a decadence to them which repels some people. The rest revel in it.
