Weekend wrap-up

Posted at 03:22 by Importer

Story goes that Victory at Sea finally decided on a name for their new album: All Your Things Are Gone. Two weeks later, drummer Dave Norton's apartment (in same building as the band's practice space) burnt up from a freak electrical fire. Irony aside, the band's equipment ended up justa little wet from the hoses, but all of Dave's things are gone. To help raise some money, Vic @ Sea plus 11 other bands got together at theMiddle East downstairs on Saturday night for a benefit show. Captions first, then photos to match (by Tia, despite how the byline reads).

1. Mad Man Films' George Lewis fronts a rare performance by the Middle East employee punksupergroup Dorkbot.

2. Jordyn rests up her vocal chords for CMJ while Joel Big Bears through his own personal Rivers Cuomo wet dream, playing an entire set of Blue Album Weezer tunes.

3. Bro-Bro, star of the weekly sitcom Certainly, Sir, auctions off the star of the bakesale: the burning boobs cake. Asking price: $15/tit.

4. Per order of the cake's anonymous purchaser, two unidentified men engage in a titty-eating contest.

5. Mona Victory at Sea shouts (fire?) in a semi-crowded basement, unveiling some of the new songs the band's recording with Andrew Schneider.

ALSO: thanks to everyone who came out on Friday night for the Certified/Catchdubs party at Enormous Room. Shitloads of fun, despite the PA troubles. We have a feeling a few interesting developments might come out of this.
