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.

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...

7 Days of Plague Tour Photos: Day One - The Roxy, Los Angeles

Technically, this was Day Two of the tour, but since I didn't go to San Diego the day before, I'm calling it Day One. The bands on this tour were: Archons (didn't play L.A.), Lightning Swords of Death, Saviours, and Midnight. I think this tour was special for several reasons. It was tastily and tastefully curated as each band is excellent for very different reasons. Archons have the rad off-timed space sludge, LSOD gives us blasty black festering nastiness, Saviours serves weed n' whisky shredduce sandwiches, and just Midnight, period! Plenty more to come, keep your eyes peeled.

Bonus Section:
Later that evening, Midnight made a brief (keyword "brief") appearance at The BLVD, playing a two-song, two minute set right before Nocturnal. They whipped the Boyle Heightsters into a froth and were done before the kids even realized what had happened.
