This is a bit of a break in format, but I'm going to write-up an entire show. I've always preferred writing up a band, and just one band, in full... but this was a truly amazing show, and I'd feel negligent if I failed to shine a light on all the bands on the bill. The whole night was too good to pick (or omit) a band... which also means this is my first paginated "read more..." publication.

ubik. left Beer Metal Summer Camp on Saturday afternoon because we had booked a show that night before we knew the dates for Beer Metal-- no one wants to leave half way in, but like I've said before, you play the shows you book and that's that. We booked this one well in advance because we played a good show with Aranya in Portland as the closer to our most recent tour, and wanted to return the favor and give them a good Seattle show in return.

Things just shook out that it was on Beer Metal weekend... so we rolled back into town a little exausted, not too sunburnt, and several days unshowered to meet up at The Rat & Raven. This was our first show there, and, though we felt a little unfaithful playing across the street from The Kraken (and popped in there for some food and the celebration of Iron Maiden day), the venue was cozy, accomodating, and well-set-up.

The pictures are going to be a little spotty and culled from the internet because... well... I never seem to have my cameras at shows I'm playing. Apologies for that; I ought to be more prepared.

On to the show...
