The second crusade

After checking out Flecton Big Sky, Shane Whitbread and The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol at Pressed, I hotfooted it over to Babylon for Crusades' album release show. Their latest musical offspring is Perhaps You Deliver This Judgment with Greater Fear Than I Receive It. I was too late to ctach openers Alaskan (who also have a new album out, Despair, Erosion, Loss), but did manage to take a few snaps of The Nervosas.

The mighty trio drove through a snowstorm from Columbus, Ohio for the gig.



Jeff handles the low end!



Hair-tossing action!



Nick hits!



Mickey sings!



Jeff sings!



And one more shot of Nick.



On to Crusades, who played a brief but crushing set.Here's a shouty bit with Emmanuel!



Dave rocks the Reverend.



Rock stance action!



Jordy hits!



Skottie sings!



Singalong action!



Extra Emmanuel!



More hair-flinging!



More hitting!



The crowd goes wild!



A fine evening.
