photos from last night (FANS) now up on kelso's blog

Posted in: | | |  

last night saw us another episode of FANS, and yet again the boys delivered a fucking sick lineup
including: Young & Restless, The Shiny Brights, Stature::Statue and Hungry Kids of Hungary
even though the drink specials were missing (fuck you liqour liscencing) and the lights went on when the clock struck midnight, lots of fun was had with some killer music


pictured: Stature::Statue

*more photos will be uploaded when I decide I want to tackle this situation

if you haven't been down to one of the FANS event yet (which is unlikely in Brisbane and it's six degrees of separation).... then make sure you go to this next one
(see below)
