The Underwater Peoples Showcase Saturday night at the Market Hotel was an absolute blast: bands, beers, bodies, smoke, sweat... The AC was working and the fans were on, but if you weren't standing right next to them it didn't matter - sweat poured down arms, legs, throats, chests, cheeks. No particular highlights, as everything was of high quality, though Andrew Cedermark was particularly exciting in what he said was just his second solo show, Big Troubles' first ever live set was great in an incomprehensibly loud way and Alex Bleeker & the Freaks owned the weed + cigarette mist vibe. Family Portrait was killer as well, Fluffy Lumbers covered the Cranberries again and Pill Wonder covered a Julian Lynch Wild Animal Kingdom contribution. Oh, and to end their set, the final set, Real Estate half-assed its way through "Sweater Song."
Here's some underwater photos to accompany such underwater sounds.

Great photos. But that cover of the Sweater Song wasn't that bad, was it? I mean it was an encore.
ha it wasnt aaaawful... it was charming in an 'okay we'll play another song i guess' sort of way
I thought the Sweater Song was sick, I was high though.
fine fine i admit it: the 'as i walk away-e-ay's were superb
REAL JEALOUS
