A band we never ever thought we would see, especially after Richard H. Kirk passed. Rest in peace, Mr. Kirk. Mal did you proud though.

I Speak Machine opened. They were incredibly adept at telling the story of each song through video backgrounds. Sadly, I didn’t get footage of them because I was avoiding strobe lights. I’ll see them again every chance I get though, strobes be damned.
