Thanks to all who made it out to The Middle East for the Explosions & Batteries CD release show, it was truly a magical evening.  All the bands (Red Wire Black Wire, Violent Kin, and Lagoon) were brilliant and the crowd was electric -- it was as if Explosions and Batteries came kicking and screaming into a world surrounded by passionate friends and family.

Our friend Miserere took some killer photos of the show that you can find on his Picasa page. 

"TFK’s songs floated through the packed house airy and narcotic, the bass and synths rolling out filmy layers of sound to be cut by the pounding drumming." 


Indeed.
