I had a great time at this show. A bunch of us met at Noc Noc for drinks before it then all went together. I ran into piles of people I knew and had a blast, the band was great, the crowd was fun, and most of the songs I wanted to hear got played. There was one kinda weird part during the MCD's set where Spencer said he had something to say to everyone. Then everyone yelled and cheered. Then he said he was serious, and everyone yelled more, which was funny. Then he seemed genuinely pissed off at everyone for yelling and said something like "This is like a fucking Motley Crue concert" and through down the mic. We weren't sure if the show was going to go on for second. But they played more, with the band seemed all pretty pissed at each other and/or the crowd for a few songs, which I thought was awesome actually, it gave them a great energy. It was weird though to see Spencer get so pissed off about the crowd for going apeshit over the music. By the end he was back into it and was diving out into the crowd trying to sing while crowd surfing. But there was a period where I thought he might just storm off stage and never come back and I never saw anything that could have made him react that way...
10 Things Jesus Wants You To Know was the Northwest's largest zine for about a decade, this is version 2.0. I update constantly, so come back for more, your mom sure does. And please please please credit me and link back if you "borrow" my photos, then it isn't stealing!

Murder City Devils reunion show photos!
I just realized I never posted my photos to the blog of the Murder City Devils reunion show last month. Duh. This first one of Spencer surfing over the crowd ended up on The Stranger blog, which was very cool.

Old school Murder City Devils photo
After catching the Murder City Devils reunion show a few weeks ago I was a bit nostalgic for the band, playing their old records and remembering them in their prime. It prompted me to dig through some old photos and find this one my pal and longtime 10 Things and Tablet photographer Diona Mavis shot back in 1998 at The Velvet Elvis. This is by far my favorite photo of the band I've ever seen, it ran in 10 Things back in the day. What's funny is you can't see the face of either Spencer or Derek in it, but somehow it captures the emotion and energy that the band always brought live...
