Joel Quiggle Solo Show

Over the weekend we took a jaunt up to Erie, PA for Joel Quiggle's first solo show! It was held at the wonderful Urraro Gallery. I've always loved his artwork, so when Travis asked me if I wanted to go, of COURSE the answer was yes! Deadhorse was also playing, and I've been wanting to see them for a long time! They are an amazing instrumental band from Erie. 

It was pretty cool because I got to meet Joel Quiggle and Brian Morgante (of Deadhorse) in person. I've talked to them several times online, which is the way I usually meet people. I'm very shy in person, so it's common occurrence for me to people online, and them and then meet in later in "real life."
It was a good day.

Downstairs was Joel's new stuff...

Deadhorse ended up playing two shorter sets. Boy was I thankful, because we missed the first set. They only split them up because some complained it was too loud, so they decided to wait and do more later. :D  But yea...they were so good. A fantastic wall of sound. Listen to them HERE

Well Erie, it was nice to see you again. Until next time.
