Shellac at Lounge Ax

The second to last show at Lounge Ax.  Long live Lounge Ax.

The poster i have says the Traitors played, but i have a strong suspicion i was late and didn't see them as i have no memory whatsoever of that band.

I know i've seen Scrawl (at Lounge Ax, i believe), but i also suspect i may have missed them that night.

I definitely actually saw the Thinking Fellers, and they were good.  Never got any of their records, which i probably should.

Shellac put on their usual great show.  Actually, i remember liking this show better than most.  Less math, more rock.  Mr. Albini made some crack about the embarrassing ska wave of a few years prior.  I was horribly offended.

I don't know that i hung out much with jay, but i definitely bought a poster from him.
