Local Bands Sleeping Like Lions and Smiling as Citizens under Bemur's 17th Streetlight

Last Friday night, as predicted, was the 4 band concert at Cornerstone. The night went really well as we had right around 200 students show up. The four bands were each a little different than the next so it provided some healthy variety. Here are a few pics from the night. Some are pictures that I took and others are pics I snagged off of Facebook.

[This is Korey from Citizen Smile doing what he does best...
standing perfectly still in a guitar player pose.]

[Some of the throngs of people attending the concert.]

[Paul, lead vocalist of Streetlight 17, working the stage like it's
his job.
Paul also is the drummer for We Sleep Like Lions
(the closing band of the evening) and
the Sr. High worship band.
This concert was Streetlight 17's first show.
The highlight was
probably when Paul and some random kid starting
screaming/growling
and then Paul jumped off the stage,
ran around the back of the whole crowd,
and then jumped
back up on the other side of the stage and picked up where he had left off.]


[Me, John, and Roy - 3 of the intimidating staff force of the evening.
Our intimidation factor ranked somewhere between a lion and a bear...and a mongoose.]

[This is Bemur. They were really good at good ol' rock n' roll.
All the adults at the show
wanted to buy a cd,
and all the students were like, "What kind of music is this?"]


[Trevor - frontman for We Sleep Like Lions,
and a miscellaneous saxophonist,
and Brownie on the bass. ]


[Matt of We Sleep Like Lions.
This is what happens when the keyboard stand breaks mid-show.
It's also what happens when you don't have any shoes or socks.
Or pants that you didn't steal from a homeless guy.]

Later today I'll post some pics and such from Saturday's festivities.
