The room was on the empty side when they started up, so here's singer Darlene Deschamps telling everyone to move up.

Guitar action! The band has three, this is Tyler Nickel.

More Darlene, and more guitar!

Will handles the low end.

Vocal action! Not sure who guitarist No. 3 is.

More Tyler!

Extra Darlene!

Shadowy Holden action!

So, Gateway Drugs; I'd heard a few good things about the band. They play loud psychedelic garage rock and covered the Count 5's Psychotic Reaction near the end of their set. Fun fact: Three of the band are the children of The Knack's bassist, Prescott Niles. Here's Blues Williams, the one non-family member, sporting Ray-Bans and a black leather jacket.

Here's Liv on guitar and vocals.

Brother Noa on guitar ....

Close-up action!

Noa sings!

Gabe hits!

Sibling action!

More Blues!

Gabe sings a bit!

Noa works the pedals.

More sibling action!

Liv shreds!

Pedal action finish!

Swervedriver brought a big long set list to the show; they played just about every song a fan could hope for and a few more besides. Zaphod's let them blow past the curfew (for all the difference that might make on a Tuesday). Here's Adam Franklin and bassist Mikey Jones of Supergrass fame.

Grainy action with Jimmy Hartridge!

Adam sings! Adam reminded the crowd that the last time he played Zaphod's he was tossed for being "allegedly drunk" after his set.

More Mikey!

Steve George hits!

Extra Jimmy!

More Adam!

And that was about it for photos, because I was starting to feel a bit ill.
