SHADOWSPHERE @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

We all had bad days and this was one of them for SHADOWSPHERE – or at least to my eyes (and ears). Maybe I was just expecting more, after the great show I’d seen three months prior, at Cave 45 … Continue reading

IN VEIN @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Sometimes even the main room of Hard Club has some pretty shitty lights and as much as I’d like to say the grain on these pics is artistically intentional, it isn’t. Still like them though. As for IN VEIN‘s gig … Continue reading

HEAVENWOOD @ Hard Club, 2017/10/20
