At last, the inaugural show of 2007: 3 Inches of Blood. So good.

I got there slightly early after I finished baking chocolate chip cookies for my 3IoB boys. No one was playing when I arrived but then ShadowMancer came out. I don't know how old these kids are (young) but I thought they were pretty good. I think a crowd would have been helpful - they need to develop some stage presence. Their songs are also quite long and could be tightened up a bit.

Special thanks to Mr MP for coming out to the show, even though you don't know your way around Springfield (although West Springfield is three times the size of Texas). I think we only missed the first half of 'Night Marauders' which is my new favorite. Anyway, they just burned through the set - both old and new songs -and it was way too short, even on a Monday night with my dreaded 8 AM Tuesday teleconference to rest up for. I tried to take a good photo of Alexi and this is the best one. Ms. dW said it looks like he's being attacked by flying saucers.
