Nice Face at Don Pedro

Nice Face are one of those bands which have no permanent members except for one singer/songwriter/head honcho, in this case Ian. See if you can guess which one is Ian. Yeah, he's the one who looks like he's fighting for his life with, I dunno, maybe a snake?

Rebel Night Weekender Afterparty at Don Pedro

I'm not sure whether six or seven bands played the Rebel Night Weekender Afterparty. Seven? Seven great bands playing a free show on a Monday night. The stuff of legends! Unfortunately I have a job (the stuff of mediocrity!) but I did manage to catch the first five. Here's a taste of what it was like: three photos each of the first four bands: LoveStruck, The Siberians, The Wellington Ladies Welfare League (WLWL) and The Othermen.

The Back C.C.s at Don Pedro

The Rebel Night Weekender went straight through until Wednesday! These photos were taken at the first afterparty, held on Monday at Don Pedro. You know you're dealing with people who know how to party when phrases like "first afterparty" are being thrown around.

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.

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.
