A bunch of firsts for me at this Love the Captive showing of Morning Teleportation, Animal Eyes, Achievement House and Deleón. I did not get there in time for Achievement House or Deleón, but the other two bands put on a great performance.
This was my first show at CYC in Fresno’s Chinatown. It’s a small place, but works for shows like this. The lighting is not great, so it does make it a little more difficult for photography.
This was the first time I have seen a head banging accordion player who was with Animal Eyes. I was sore just watching him; his red hair was all over the place.
This was also the first time I have seen a band start without their drummer. Morning Teleportation was trying to start quickly because the show was running behind, so the guitarist and keyboarder began playing without looking back to see if the drummer was there. When it was his turn to jump in, everyone was a little surprised they heard no drums. Their missing drummer was soon found after some laughs and a short wait, and they ended up putting on an awesome show.
