Flickr photo of the day: Head Like a Kite

Dave from HLAK and pal Graig Markel (and a lovely blonde woman I don't recognize offhand) rock out at the HLAK CD release show at Neumo's last night. If I hadn't been sleeping off our sixth birthday party the night before, I would have toooootally been all over this show. Anyone have comments to share from the crowd?

Also, for the record, every person in this picture moves like a muppet.

Anika - I don't know much about club economics but I think the short answer is just to go to them (and bring lots of friends) and drink (and bring friends who drink) - if clubs have a lot of people going to those shows and they sell a lot of alcohol at them, they will be more likely to host more free shows.
The next free show on Capitol Hill that I know of is The Pica Beats and The Color Bars at Chop Suey on 7/19, although not a CD release. And all the shows at the Skylark in West Seattle are free, as well.
On another note, I love how Jeanine's photos are always photo of the day because Jeanine's photos are always awesome!
I really wish I was there - sounds like it was a really fun show!

And they are cute and nice folks too..:) Where is Trent? Is he just outta the picture?
Jeanine Anderson said on June 28, 2008:
@saundrah: Trent was absolutely and fully there and brought it good. However he was positioned way far stage left and this little group was way far stage right.
I guess if you have the room, might as well use it!

YES!!! This show was *so* much fun. The highlight for me was definitely "A Dime and a Cigarette," though Aysa's cameo appearance was right up there.
Question: How can we get more awesome free CD release shows? That was the easiest and best experience I've ever had just navigating around Neumos.
