Melon Farmers at The Sidebar
Melon Farmers are a Reggae-inspired band, not a Reggae band, which is an important distinction because (I believe) there are no mosh pits in Reggae. I can't even imagine a Reggae mosh pit happening unless somebody smoked the wrong thing. But there were definitely mosh pits at this Melon Farmers show. Not all of their songs are ragers, some of them are mellower, but sometimes the crowd did mosh.
This and the Canker Blossom set from before were my first photosets from The Sidebar in Baltimore. It's a dive bar with dive bar lighting. Protip: get a newer camera. This is exactly the situation where it would be nice to underexpose my shots and then push them 3-4 stops but older Canon cameras are not so good a that. Maybe someday...
