Fire water

My first post-Bluesfest show was a performance by lo-fi psychedelic rocker Kurt Vile at Babylon July 21. He has pulled Real Estate along with him, butsome delay led to a new opening slot, filled by Crazy Ocean, also known as Matt Oxley. Oxley has also been in Nervous System and can be seen drumming for Peach Kelli Pop.

This is what Matt looks like when one's flash sync cable stops working.



And here's Matt with things working a little better.



Here's Matt without any flash at all.



There's more than one fisheye in the ocean.



The shouty bit!



The end!



I dunno what he's up to right now.
