One Friday After Four-thirty

April 20th, 2008 by some dude

Fridays After Five is a concert series during the summer in downtown Charlottesville, with concerts taking place every Friday (obviously) after work. For SFers, think Stern Grove, but much smaller/local acts and more mingling.

We decided we couldn’t wait for the season to start, so we put on our own rock concert. With Rock Band. At the Pavilion. “One Friday After Four-thirty.” The band is Panty Zamboni.

The roadies setting up.

Off to a rough start. The wind gave us some problems and the lyrics were illegible. Band manager: For our next gig we need sandbags and static lyrics mode on our rider.

Rocking out.

This would be Tea Bags’ final performance before his fatal heroin overdose.

Tea Bags. Almost passed out. Eating grass. If Bloc Party was on Rock Band, I could understand the confusion (”like eating glass” / “like eating grass”), but I’m not sure how this happened. …And then he passed out, like a true rock star.

Fans show up.

And we let them play. Cuz he can actually sing.

There probably used to be tags for this post. Sorry, it\'s broken.

    Three out of the four videos posted are of downloaded songs. Nice! Keep filling EA’s coffers. I think our stock just went up a few more cents.

    I’ll pass on a “good work” to the game’s owner. BTW, we tried to unlock all the preloaded songs, but it didn’t work. What gives? (We didn’t try very hard).
