Five bands, two clubs, one night = FUN CITY! Your leetle foto fren, ME, stepped out on the town last night to see and hear a diverse buncha bands, hailing from Alabama and California and New York and good 'ol Seattle, and playing anything from space-surf instrumentals to minimalist garage rock. It was a good challenge to run up and down the stairs between the two clubs (Barboza is located in the basement of Neumos) and I did at least get to see something of all of them! Please to enjoy the photos, click to enlarge and go to Flickr for more! Do check these bands out, won't you?

OK, here's where I failed. I really like this band from Fullerton, CA. and had seen them open for Ty Segall a couple years ago at the Crocodile here in Seattle, and was looking forward to seeing them again. But when I got to the stage at Neumos after the end of The Beets' show at Barboza, this is what I saw and all I got:
Yes, the wave goodbye. Sorry, everyone! Enjoy the gif, anyway!

Thank you Neumos and Barboza, Daniel Gill at ForceField PR, Kitty Page Amsbry, and of course all the bands!
