Ceremony show pics
The show was a damn good time. Hummingbird slayed, of course. They had a fill-in on bass, but he'd just gone on tour with them, so he was more than good enough. Those guys always rule live. Mike handed me a flyer for a show on June 8th with Empty Eyes, Skull Collector, and Murder and the Media Machine. That should be a good'un. The other local was Composure, and they had more a 90's straight edge vibe going on. Not really my cuppa tea, but they sounded pretty good, especially considering they had two fill-ins, including a bassist who'd had 30 minutes before the show to learn his parts.
The touring bands all shared a bunch of members between them, and, as a result, showed up in two vans instead of the three that would be expected. Saber Tooth Zombie set up on the floor. Their singer was really animated, and their sound seemed kinda rough, but they were engaging and a lot of fun. Life Long Tragedy was a bit more polished, playing thrashy stuff that's good for people to stomp around the floor to. Ceremony were fast, heavy, and impossible to take pictures of because of the excellent crowd reaction.
This was a pretty damn fun show. I should also point out that it's still very early in the tour, so everyone reading this can probably catch them, provided they read it within like the next couple days or something. Here's some crappy pictures to get you in the mood!
