Useless Keys started the night off. The first thing noticed was the heavy use of the smoke machine. In fact, at certain points during the night, you could barely see the bands playing. Useless Keys rocked us out during their 30 minute set.
Next up was Great Northern. Now they are one of my favorite local bands and this was one of their first sets after about an 18 month sabbatical. My anticipation was high and they didn't let me down.
Comment of the night from Great Northern: Time to take the gum out.
Comment two of the night from Great Northern: Let's leave it up to the Smoke Room . . . It's like an 80s music video.
Closing out the night for me was Shadow Shadow Shade. The sound guys seemed to have to spend a longer time than normal trying to get the stage set for them -- too many microphones. I could see the band members peaking out from behind the door, checking to see if they were able to start their set.
Comment of the night from Shadow Shadow Shade: I'd give you a sign, but I can't see you through the smoke.
Comment two of the night from Shadow Shadow Shade: Can we have more smoke? (And on the far end of the stage, I could see one member of the band shaking her head in disagreement with the idea.)
Randomness. I was walking around Satellite and noticed a huge puddle of beer spilled near the back of the floor area. And then during Shadow Shadow Shade's set, one of the guys knocked over a glass of beer. He tapped his band mate on the shoulder to give him a heads up that if he walked backwards he'd be walking into a pool of beer. Beer spill story.
The DJ played some Local Natives in between sets.
