This past "long" weekend (for us) has been a whirlwind, we had a show at The Apollo Theatre AC Thursday night, a show Friday night at The Rust Belt, and a show at Wildwood BBQ & Saloon Saturday Night. It's been nonstop bangers all three days. now that I have had a couple days off to go through pictures I have two of the three days ready to post. Todays posts is starting with pictures form Spineshanks' set Thursday night at the Apollo Theater in Belvidere, IL. Out of the few shows that I have covered at The Apollo this show was one of the most fan shows I have ever coverer. We had such and incredible time hanging out with everyone, seeing our friends and meeting some new faces while getting down to the great music that brought us all together.

What an honor it was to cover one of only four stops for Chad Grays' 30 Years of Madness Tour. What an equally great honor to have one of the stops to be the The Rust Belt in East Moline, IL. Chad Gray has been on of my favorite singers since the first time I heard the Mudvayne L.D. 50 album back in 2000. Chad is amazing performer and gives the fans everything he has in him, he leaves everything on the stage and does it in a way that truly connects with the fans that love him. Having Marcus Rafferty, Devin Attard, Joe Bonasorte, and Nick Villarreal behind Chad for these shows...... Wow..... What an incredible show it was!!!

Sumo Cyco a new band to me and Whoa, do they bring it!! In my eyes there is nothing better than seeing a band interact with the crowd and effectively making everyone at the Bottom Lounge part of the show.
