Something Corporate frontman / musical genius, Andrew McMahon's "side project", Jack's Mannequin, at LeMoyne College in Syracuse, NY. Support band was Treaty of Paris who are on McMahon's ATR label. Local guitarist Jason Vaughn warmed up the crowd. This was the last and largest stop on the tour which had previously played only small venues. I got some nice videos of the show on my YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/kotz1

Three Days Grace, Seether, Shinedown, Sick Puppies, 12 Stones, Luna Halo, Safetysuit, Black Stone Cherry at the Cayuga County Speedway in Weedsport, NY. Another one of K-Rock's crappy "no camera" shows. I'm looking for pix. Thanks

shows. I'm looking for pix. Thanks

All pictures were taken with my phone due to K-Rock's "no camera" policy. The first picture is the K-Rock staff, the rest are of Armor For Sleep - the main reason I went to the show. Other bands were Hurt, Ashes Divide (cool dudes), Course of Nature and local bands Dead Rose and Caustic. The last picture is at Ashes Divide's autograph session.

Eve 6 is back!!!
SoCal's Eve 6 headline Mayday Fest at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. Also playing was Stroke 9 (San Francisco) and two local bands. Special guest appearance by "Al Ham". The pictures are lousy because the show was moved inside due to the weather. My videos are much better. Check them out at YouTube user name Kotz1.
