16 May 2012 - Hot Dolphin, Nervous Ticks, Guitar As Spacecar, and Boney Loner
Nile, RVA
This was quite an eventful show! One of my friends headed out of town and forgot they had a gig that night. Another one of my friends accidentally kicked me in the head. And more new friends were made. Good times!
Once again, I’ve used Instagram to brighten up the photos. I really didn’t think I’d get any usable images at the time, so the fact that I got ANYTHING is impressive.
at Strange Matter, RVA.
It’s taken me a ridiculously long time to realize that when I turn down the brightness of my phone screen, I also turn down the brightness of the screen that shows me what I’m recording. (D’oh!) This one is a little blurry, but still enjoyable. And because they performed from the floor, there’s not quite as much light, so you can’t see everybody even though I tried to pan back and forth a bit.
9 April 2012: Boney Loner & the Sacred Teachers, The Sawyer Family, & Roma at Strange Matter. I only got pics of the first 2 this time around. Can’t remember if I missed Mystery Ship or if they didn’t play for some reason. As usual, the pics are kinda dark. I did get some video from these 2 bands as well, so I’ll post it shortly.

These pics are of New Zealand punk band The Transistors (because I took so many Guitar Wolf pics that they really need their own post to do them justice). I tried to get some video of them, too, but accidentally hit my record button more than once, so I ended up recording a few seconds before a song, and then a few seconds after a song, but missed the whole song in the middle. D’oh!

I finally figured out how to make my pictures post all prettified on Tumblr, but I took so damn many during this awesome show that I need to break them up into more than 1 post. So here’s the first post.
Top row: My ticket to the show. I’m glad I took a pic of it because they actually took the tickets.
2nd row: Boney Loner & the Sacred Teachers
3rd row: The Nervous Ticks
4th row: The Milkstains
Some of my favorite RVA bands, looking particularly good under the haze of those red lights.

Show 26 of Janetpalooza: Boney Loner and the Sacred Teachers, The Lonely Teardrops, and The Milkstains
Emilio’s, RVA, 24 March 2012
(Flyer credit to whoever made the flyer. Other pics by me.)
After reading some great reviews, I was excited to finally get a chance to see a Boney Loner and the Sacred Teachers performance. Unfortunately, Boney Loner himself was unable to perform that night, so the Sacred Teachers held down the fort on their own with Jamie Lay moving from drums to vocal duties, and Raph from the Milkstains covering Jamie’s role as drummer.
^ Jamie Lay and the Sacred Teachers. I don’t remember as much about the music as I should, but I quite literally had my hands full. Jamie asked if I would mind recording the performance for him, so I was operating his video camera with my right hand (trying to catch all his leaping around while trying to avoid the dancing ladies and the man who kept walking back and forth in front of me). After starting his recording, I realized I would have no way to capture my OWN documentation, so I reached into my right pocket with my left hand (I am not left-handed), pulled out my phone, and somehow managed to take one not-too-shabby left-handed picture while simultaneously recording right-handed. *WHEW*
^ The Lonely Teardrops. The previously mentioned dancing ladies really seemed to like them.
^ The Milkstains. Holy hell, these guys rock!
^ This pic is blurry because I was dancing.
^ This pic is blurry because Raph was drumming JUST THAT FAST.
^ Gabe was awash in stage lights.
^ Another artsy angled shot of The Milkstains with Raph and John rocking out.
Oh yes! One more show to add to Janetpalooza. This one should be show 24 or 25 depending on who else I can see this week.
