Where in the world are TKOSM?
Once again, massive gap since my last update. I've been busy doing my thing, here are some photos from the past two months... Take a deep breath, there are quite a few.
We'll start about two months ago, Amity played the Arena with Emery and Underoath. I had a media pass to shoot the show; also I was running on empty, a bunch of pre-drinks and a bottle of Jimmy in my pants. Not a good mix. Needless to say I don't remember Underoath and I was ejected from the venue, kicking and screaming and abusing police and everyone in a position of authority.
Amity.

Emery - from here on my memory is pretty faded.

The following night was Darkest Hour, Every Time I Die and Norma Jean at the Arena, after discracing myself the night before I thought it would be a good idea to call the venue and apologise. After that I headed to the show, sober. Unfortunatly I missed Darkest Hour and most of ETID.
ETID.

Norma Jean. Sickest show ever!
