Review & photos by Doug Van Pelt
It was hard to say what my favorite experience of the weekend was. Hanging with friends like Bill and his wife as well as all the old and new music-playing and music-loving friends was as special as the awesome performances were. Top sets were turned in by Klank, Ultimatum, Jupiter VI, Deliverance, Grave Robber, Leper, The Altar Billies and Bloodgood.- 26.Aug
