In the interest of documenting a kick-ass show at DGBD, I present this photo essay courtesy of Angie Gilman. She’s a writer with the Lonely Planet that came out to the show, sharing a story about how a monkey stole her Canon in Thailand. She did some pretty cool stuff with my Nikon D80, although all edits and words below are my own. Lest my wonderful readers think I lend my expensive camera to any person with a sob story, she was a friend of a friend.

Having recently written about them for the Groove, I give you Pinnacle and the Antidote:

J. Rog on the bass.

Pinnacle himself.

Because just about everybody looks better in black-and-white.

Kurtis Van making rock look easy – not pictured was his successful use of a beer bottle during a solo.

The mic.

I love this angle.

Pinnacle and the Antidote eventually gave way to the Rock Tigers. If you haven’t heard of the Korean rockabilly band, look back to an article in the Groove I wrote about the Rock Tigers.

 

Velvet Geena keeping the energy up.

Jack “the Knife” on drums.

OK, so maybe it’s a little odd to have part of the outfit in focus and leave the face blurry – definitely a different angle than I would’ve thought to shoot.

Smoking a cigarette – then stomping it out before his solo.

Thanks to Angie Gilman for the pictures. If you get a chance to see either of these bands play, take it – and get ready to dance.
