Despite
the absence of Adam Gohn, MIG kicked off ShellShocked 2 in spectacular
fashion, with Andrew "And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGHT"
Morton doing everything in his power to make Rob Halford green
with envy.

Doubting
Thomas
I never
realized what a lovely singing voice Zachary Garrison has, but...
well, it was... I'm sorry, I'm distracted by the haunting memories
of lost love. Meanwhile, the acoustic stylings of Doubting Thomas
juxtaposed well with the previous metal stylings of MIG.
Gabe
Gross definitely has a higher heat tolerance than I do.

'R Implied
I heard
good things about the performance put on by Spring Fever Reliever's
first ever all-girl band, and they delivered again at ShellShocked.
I'm not a big fan of the Avril songs, but the other tunes were
great stuff and the entire set (a long one, at that!) was performed
well.
I guess
this is the last time in my life this many chicks will
be willing to be in a picture *I'm* taking. |
Echelon
I didn't
know anything about Echelon going into this show. I didn't know
anyone in the band or what they played, nor had I heard them
before. But I left the show feeling very impressed by them.
And I like Tom Petty, so they get bonus points for "Free
Falling."
And,
judging by this picture, they are not to be trifled with.
And no, I'm not being sarcastic. |
Silent
I've come
to really enjoy Silent's performances over the last... eh, year
and a half or so. I guess I've only seen them three times, but
I think they have real talent. Who needs vocals when you can
jam like these guys?
Silent
was not available for post-set photography, as I lost track
of them in the mob of rabid female onlookers.
Modular
Dispensing Systems
In a desperate
attempt to ensure Adam Davis would only show up late instead
of not show up at all to fulfill his duties as Rubber Conductor
tromboner... er, trombonist, this impromptu trio was assembled
on very short notice and had about 30 minutes of practice time.
Their objective: completed successfully!
I like
how sheepish Lukas looks in this picture. |
Rubber
Conductor...
...featuring
"Dancing" Brett Price
I
have nothing more to say about this band. The horns section
was a wonderful addition as it was. "Dancing" Brett
Price, however, is the greatest addition any band anywhere could
ever make.

Adam
Davis did make it in the end. Not pictured: Matt Sissom,
who was fleeing his adoring fans. In his place is a Matt
Sissom cardboard standie. |

members of MIG got hungry and ate the websites).
