3/22/2013 – Day two of gigs – Friday night- and it’s the joy of 4 more Bands this weekend. This time it was at a venue I’d never visited before, but they have local music on Friday nights under a program called “Freak Out Dublin” . Gigs are in the downstairs pub area, which has a small but well set up stage. The basement is long and narrow – with some cool lighting around the bar and some fabulous white couched areas to chat. Photography in here is a bit of a challenge because on one end of the stage it’s a bit of back lighting, and on the other, spotlights over the drummer. There are also portable lights illuminating the singer and guitar players and which are moved with each band. As a result, most of these had to be flipped to black and white – rather than color – but hey, it just means rising to the challenge – and earning my keep.

First up was T’anks General – this time with their 4th Band member making his debut.

and last but not least… introducing the newest band member – also rocking the guitar –

As always, more photos can be found on my flickr site – with a collection of pictures from the evening, here.
