WEEKEND UPDATE: NORTHWEST TERROR FEST

Northwest Terror Fest is about to begin its third and final day/night in Seattle today. As I mentioned last Monday, No Clean Singing is a principal sponsor of the fest, and DGR, Andy Synn, and myself (islander) have all been working the event on-site since the final preparations began at the venues on Wednesday.

So, no roundup of new songs and videos at NCS today, and no Shades of Black tomorrow.

I should mention that the first two days of the festival were fantastic. I can’t claim to be objective, but I caught bits and pieces of most of the bands who played, and they all kicked ass. So did the festival and venue staffs and crew.

We had packed crowds from the first set each day at 4:30, which has never happened that early before at this event, and they stayed packed and enthusiastic past midnight. Everything has been running really smoothly, and everyone seems to be having a great time.

Here’s just a brief assortment of photos I made over the past two days from some of the performances I was able to catch at least briefly, in the order of appearance:
