Plague Tour Photos: Day Two - Eli's Mile High Club, Oakland CA

Much of Day Two was spent trying to leave Los Angeles. And then much driving. We arrived at Eli's just in time for Midnight to go on, missing the other three bands. These pictures are a lil messy, but so was the crowd! Going from a crisp 50ish degrees outside to a steamy 70 plus inside put my lens on continuous auto-fog. 'Twas truly a metal sauna in there. Bear with the Road Photos, they are necessary.






Midnight





Dan Hague from Kill That Cat was there filmin'!






Had the good fortune of staying at a lovely and generous couple's awesome wooden house up in the Oakland hills. Shoulda taken more pics of it...

The "Biggest Circle Pit I've Seen In A While" Award goes to Obituary for their performance at Scion Rock Fest. It consumed the majority of the floor at the Fox Theatre. See all other photos at Brooklyn Vegan.

9.11.10 - Magrudergrind, Trash Talk, Nails at the Roxy

Everyone has different ways of coping with the anniversary of our nation's greatest disaster. Several hundred kids chose to spend theirs at the Roxy for a free grindcore matinee. Nails had no problem getting the kids all fired up and once Trash Talk went on, it quickly turned into a big messy stagediving convention.







Trash Talk










In case you're wondering, this guy did indeed make full facial contact with the PA speaker! Not kidding...
