New live music bootlegs from Grand Rapids shows!

I seem to be busy these days and have been neglectful of this space. There's a ton of stuff going on so I'll just get to it. Here's some live bootlegs from recent shows in our fair city of Grand Rapids, MI.

Live Bootlegs of Grand Rapids Shows on Youtube

So since I have spans of inactivity on here, I feel it necessary to post a deluge of audio that I have recorded somewhat recently. When possible, I like to bring out my stereo recorder to shows and position it such to capture the best sound scape possible for a room recording. Nothing fancy, but for me personally, I enjoy hearing audio from performances I attended even if the audio quality is sub-par. This also provides an opportunity to showcase some of the talent going on around the city of Grand Rapids as well as some national acts stopping through.

That said, here are some performances I captured and uploaded to my youtube channel which you can find BhereB. Otherwise, check them out below:

Grand Rapids band Tokyo Morose:




Grand Rapids band Ghost Heart:




Grand Rapids band Apostles:




Grand Rapids band The Storied Life:

Mid Michigan doom duo Beast In The Field:




Valient Thorr:

There are certainly more to come and I will be sure to post accordingly.

Life is good.

A really great event that happens every year in Grand Rapids is Fes2val. It is an entire day event featuring 2 member bands. Every year I have to work on that day, so I miss it. This year was no change, but I thought I would be able to catch the last three groups. Wrong. Got stuck at work and only caught a snippet of Beast In The Field's last song. Missed Jowls prior to that. Luckily I was able to see all of Charles The Osprey's set, so the day was not lost. Here are the resulting pictures:
