Oceans Over Monuments.


I got into this one for free since I offered to give a pal I know named Jim a ride to the show. To show his gratitude, he paid my way in. I got there and saw there were quite a few people I know who I was somewhat surprised to see. I mean I know most of them were out there supporting our friend Jessi, but I was still surprised. What was more surprising was that I immediately recognized the singer for OOM: a gentleman I know by the name of Korey. I last saw him sing at the innagural show (or rather, first of only two shows) at the Grind Hut with his band Shao-lin's Road/Face the Firing Squad/Whatever they're called now. I always thought his vocals were the best thing about that band, so I was happy to see him doing something else. Band sounded pretty tight for their first gig though. It's metalcore, for sure, but it's enjoyable. I'm starting to get some good shots at Reggie's nowadays. I was a little taken back by the fact that there were a couple of other "photographers" there as well. I only quoted that because they seemed to own the same type of not-too-expensive cameras that I have. I recognized one of them from either in person or on myspace. She was rocking one hell of a lame shirt though: in big black letters it read "I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND." Wow cool. Nobody really cares.

I peaced out after they were done, seeing as how I really wasn't in the mood for more live music. ILM, Champion of the Sun, and See You There were on after them, but I'll just catch them another time.

Tomorrow is Rapture's last gig as that name. Gonna try to make this one as memorable as I can.
