Last night God got a parking ticket and forgot about the rest of us. Luckily for those in he vicinity of Mt. Pleasant and Irving People shook their asses all night at the Crab's Claw!
Ava Luna played a great set for that house.
The opening act were the Silent Whys backed by Paul Thornley of Four Horseman fame on sound, these guys played music for the start studded crowd. Jeremy Teter of Shapiro System was spotted with his ex model GF. Alexis Kenyon soon to be of nineteenthandlamont Fame. Abby of Salon de Libertad. John Thornley of Matt Hemerlein, Sockett's Re
cords Ryan Wakeman and Agnes of Sweden were swarmed by commonfolk craning their necks to get a longer glimpse of DC Fame.
Next up was Tosin Abasi of Animals are Leaders Too. Not only did he make the crowd feel more diverse by having a lot of fans that were black he owned the place with his completely unimpressive guitar noodling. Then came the funkfest of Ava Luna. I never want to see them again unless it's at a house show because I don't think any venues know how to mix sound as well. After their set some True Women put on their ipod and people started a drum circle in the kitchen.
Let's all give a hand to RSBYT photographer Cici or something like that. (some giggly asian girl)
