A Tuesday Local Night
At First Avenue Main Stage
  A Tuesday night can bring a mix of bands on the main stage and in the Entry. On this evening there were the bands 'All The Pretty Horses', 'Sound and Fury', 'Nuisance Crew', 'Bleeding the Sick' and 'Minus 3' on the main stage. With four additional bands in the Entry. It can sometimes be difficult for people to get out on a week night. Even after a days work, many band fans and local scene supporters will find their way out the door to catch an event such as this one.  Those that were able to arrive early got a chance to see the young and talented 'Minus 3' in action providing the opening set. I recall that Mex on bass said something about it taking a little time to get use to the footing up there. With a main stage show there are a number of vantage points to view the show and the crowd action upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs there's stage front, stage right bar area, stage left bar area with pool tables and merchandise sections and the back bar area. And upstairs a number of great views to take in. The heavy hitting 'Bleeding the Sick' brought out their hard core swell to rally on the early crowd. A swell with a riot of creative energy arises with Jeff, Brent, Alfred and Mike. They would fit in well with the bands 'Facecage', 'Black Flood Diesel' and 'Index Case' to name a few. With the band 'Nuisance Crew' one will find a different sound and stage approach somewhat in contrast to the other bands playing this evening.  They have a link at their website to their new video 'Migrate' which they completed with True Player Entertainment. Guys are likely to desire to meet the gals in that video. With 'Sound and Fury' one may well note their growth and developement with their combined efforts to flesh out their musical vision. The song 'Where I Belong' struck home well with a number of viewers and is a key song among their recent efforts. It was a night for Ether of Autonomy up as guest bass player for 'All the Pretty Horses'.  Jacqueline provided a great photo of the action of Jendeen at drums. Long night, good music.
