Power Duo

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:17:17 UTC

Once again, we see the two sexiest members of the band performing their respective sexy duties. Picture courtesy the good folks at rockoncolorado.com.

A Cosby Sweat-tah!

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:17:17 UTC

To quote High Fidelity-- "Rob, I'm telling you this for your own good: that is the ugliest sweater I have ever seen. It's a Cosby sweater. A Cosby Sweat-tah!" Picture courtesy the good folks at rockoncolorado.com.

Rawk Face

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:17:16 UTC

Here's Tage making his best Ted Nugent face. He later ran into the parking lot and began killing small animals with a compound bow. :) Picture courtesy the good folks at rockoncolorado.com.

The Swede

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 04:16:14 UTC

Tage "The Swede" Plantell, with a lady who's name escapes me. (sorry!) He seems to be very, very excited about something. I wonder what it could be? What is it that has my best friend so filled with enthusiasm? Hmmm...

Drumma' Dan

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 04:16:13 UTC

My buddy Dan, who plays drums in more bands than I can list here. Super nice guy, and a talented musician. He was laying down beats for The Byron Shaw Project, one of the other bands who played the benefit that night.

Wilson and Tanya

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 04:16:11 UTC

Two of my favorite girly friends, Wilson and Tanya.

Kennet and Susan

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 04:16:11 UTC

Tage's parents, Kennet and Susan-- my second parents as well. :)

METAL!

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

Metal-Blade recording artist Mike Rice lays down some stank. Be sure to look for his one-man sonic opus, The Mike Rice Explosion.

Mikey

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

Mike Rice-- liver, lover, legend. Hands-down the nicest guy you're ever going to meet, and probably one of the best drummers in Colorado. A bad mamma jamma.

Awwwww

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

Mark - Mark's wife, Svetlana - my Mom's friend Svetlana - my Mom, Louise - my sister, Stephanie.

Sharon's Shrine

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

This was a really sweet, thoughful shrine of sorts that was set up for Sharon in the back of the club. There was a donation box, tons of photos, and a book that everyone signed to give to her family. Very sad, but very touching. Sharon was the best.

Super Steph

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

Here's my sister, Stephanie, and her friend Vince. Looking very much like an Aryan Cleopatra here, no?

Three's Company

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

"Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you." These are the words of Nick, Tanya and Ivory. Sing along, won't you?

Tom

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:39:09 UTC

My good buddy Tom Benway, rocking his famous PBR sweatshirt. Tom usually listens to music much louder, faster, edgier -- and arguably better -- than what we played, so I was real happy to see that he champed it out, just cuz we're pals. You da bestest, Tom.

Happy Couple

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:56 UTC

My pal Mark, and his lovely new bride, Svetlana.

All-Bass Band

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:29 UTC

Everyone's nightmare-- a band comprised entirely of bass players. Spooky.

Ugh

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:28 UTC

One of thousands upon thousands of horrible photographs taken of me playing bass. Being the obligatory pensive, moody, shoe-gazing bitch of the band, I tended to always look at the floor, so I have stacks and stacks of poorly-lit, out of focus pictures of myself staring ground-ward, like a douche. Awesome.

Cold Rockin' It

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:28 UTC

There's Damon Guerrasio, workin' the mic. And me, looking like a mix between French Stewart and some dude from a JC Penny catalog. Nice.

Drunk? Not Drunk?

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:28 UTC

Here I am, totally sober, yet somehow appearing like a slightly retarded, much uglier version of a shit-faced Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The cute blonde is Deanna. She's funny, and was nice enough to speak to me, despite my Pee Wee Herman outfit.

Damon and Tage

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:37:27 UTC

Here Damon and Tage display their apparently mutual love for a nice button down shirt. Minutes after this photo was taken, they broke into spontaneous dance, reenacting the "Stay Cool" GAP ad from the '90s.
