\"\"<\/a>It’s been awhile since this show happened, but one thing or another and it took awhile to get this online. \u00a0Anyways, the night began at Fuzz’s favorite ska venue 3 Kings Tavern. \u00a0We were there to see my friend Zach’s band Straighten The Crooked open for some ska music that we would later have to pull Fuzz away from. \u00a0I was to shoot some video<\/a> for for them to put up on youtube. \u00a0Unfortunately as soon as they went on stage 3 Kings shut off most of the lights and there wasn’t much light to film. \u00a0After filming one song I snapped these photos, but they didn’t come out too well either. \u00a0The show was sick though. \u00a0They have gotten tighter and a better stage presence. \u00a0So stoked. \u00a0Did I tell you I’m friends with the singer in the band? \u00a0Whew! \u00a0 Both Carleigh<\/a> and Fuzz<\/a> blogged about the show too. \u00a0Well, maybe not so much about the show, but at least about how you can get socks in the vending machine at 3 Kings.\"\"<\/a><\/a>Zach killing it on the bass. \u00a0After Straighten The Crooked we bolted over to the Larimer Lounge because I wanted to see The Henry Clay people. \u00a0A little band I didn’t know much about other than their new album is really fun rock ‘n roll. \u00a0We got there with plenty of time and ended up seeing an opening band called The Dig. \u00a0They started out pretty good, but by the end of their set none of us were feeling them. \u00a0They’ve got some potential for sure, who knows if they’ll fulfill it.\"\"I had taken enough “professional” photos already so I left my camera in the car allowing me to take such high quality photos as the one above. \u00a0Henry Clay people came on and immediately began rocking the house. \u00a0Lots of energy, lots of fun. \u00a0I figured they’d be pretty good live, but they exceeded all expectations. \u00a0As the show progressed it became evident that once again, an opening band at the Larimer would act like idiots, pretend they owned the floor and throw ice cubes at the headliner. \u00a0I don’t know if the Larimer requires this, but either way it’s annoying. \u00a0Henry Clay People took it in stride though. \u00a0In fact I don’t think a smile ever left the singers face. \u00a0I might even say that I’ve never seen a band have that much fun on stage. \u00a0They played most of the new album and quite a few covers. \u00a0Lou Reed, Op Ivy, Bruce Springsteen and closed with Neil Young. \u00a0I loved the covers. \u00a0I loved that it annoyed the hipsters. \u00a0They played them great. \u00a0The show was awesome. \u00a0Good times Rock ‘N Roll. \u00a0Everything and more I want to see in a show. \u00a0This band is awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
