Some fun facts about this band:

• When they played Pittsburgh last summer during the NAMU Fest, it was the first and only city they had ever played outside of their hometown of New York.
• They have a two for two record in Pittsburgh dealing with technical problems when trying to soundcheck.
• They are super nice dudes who have my artwork featured on their Myspace page!
• You can grab their album for free here.
• Kurt is NOT a junkie!

I was really excited to shoot this show. It was a long time since I graced the doors of GA and the bands on the bill were building some industry buzz. The Depreciation Guild comes onstage and...turns out ALL the lights. Great, no shots of them tonight. They did have a strobe light that Christoph would hit for guitar breaks in the songs and a rear projection that unbeknownst to Kurt was right in his face and not on the screen behind the band which kinda turned out cool for me. More tomorrow.

Cool show at the GA (which it seems like forever since I've been there-March of last year: The Swimmers and Hallelujah The Hills). I'll have more on this show in the coming days.

In honor of the band returning tonight to play on a bill with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart (Kurt is a member of both bands), I am digging in the vaults to display these 'lost' images. Having soooo many bands play at rapid succession was kind of mind-numbing by hour two but I would gladly welcome the opportunity again. Hopefully, the tanking economy and American Eagles sour earnings report doesn't affect a sophomore outing for this fantastic fest. We'll see.
