BAAM Fest Weekend.

It was a great weekend for great local music.  The BAAM fest was a huge success from what I could tell.  All of the venues were packed, the bands were fantastic, and the mood was exciting.  We started the weekend off by seeing Duquette, Janet, Brad, Chip, David, and Van play a short set as the "Gum Creek Killers" Friday at Bottletree at 8:30.

After a snack at Makario's we headed over to Metro Bistro to see Teen Getaway rock at 11:00.  These guys are so fantastic.

Saturday night was the Skybucket Records showcase at Rogue Tavern.  We got there just as Delicate Cutters were breaking down their equipment.  I'm kicking myself for not getting there sooner.  13ghosts and Through the Sparks then played rocking sets.  The show of the night though was Vulture Whale...one of my favorite bands.  They brought some serious rock to the stage with an amazing set.  The crowd was amazing too which made watching them all the more fun.  We then grabbed some Al's afterwards with Les and Roni to top off a great night.

Last night was a great night at Workplay.  Duquette Johnston and the Rebel Kings played at 7:15 and had a fantastic set.  Jason and I played with Sunny So Brite which followed at 8:30. The crowd was amazing and was a great way to end BAAM fest.  We hit the Waffle House afterwards for some good grub before going home to watch True Blood.

Thanks BAAM Fest for a fun weekend!
