Bob Log III at Glasslands Gallery
This is a crash course in showmanship, people! I don't just mean the costume, the unique crowd surfing, the walking out of the building while still playing guitar. Flashy stunts are great, but Bob Log III does one thing which sets him apart. He does not stop talking. Yeah okay, during the songs he lets his guitar do the talking, but in between songs there are no pauses, no downtime, just his slightly rough humor and charm which hold the audience's attention until the next kick-ass song.

Stalkers at Glasslands Gallery
I have seen and photographed Stalkers many times. Honestly, that photoset from Lulu's last year is the best I've ever managed. These photos aren't as good on the whole but there are a couple of great ones in there. Wworth posting I guess. Go see this band live, that's the best way to experience 'em.

Bass Drum Of Death at Glasslands Gallery
Two youngish guys playing music which sounds like 70s hard rock, and doing it well. Who deserves the blame for this? The Internet? Somebody's big brother? Or maybe that's just the way it is. Everything seems to get a revival every twenty years or so. Twenty years ago there was Grunge, and in this decade there will be Bass Drum Of Death.

NT (Nevertune) at Glasslands Gallery
I thought "NT" stood for "No Tuning", so I was certainly expecting something punk from these guys. They're definitely punk, but a strange mix of crust and art punk with lots of energy, some metal-esque headbanging, and metal-esque hair for that matter. Loved 'em.

Titus Andronicus at Glasslands Gallery
Glasslands Gallery has colorful lighting, garish wall decorations, pretty good sound and no airflow. They have two ceiling fans at the front of the stage, apparently to cool off the lead singer and the most aggressive audience members. Drummers can suck it. Everyone else can suck down the free water (and assorted non-free adult beverages) and enjoy the music.
