The Turn @ Webster Hall, NYC

As I mentioned before, The Turn made it into the finals of the Emergenza Battle of the Bands which was at Webster Hall last weekend. They started with 2,000 bands and there were only 13 left at the finals. While they didn’t win (which is just ridiculous- but more on that in a minute), they did come in a respectable 7th place. 7th out of 2,000– more than fairly impressive!

I didn’t stay for the rest of the bands after the Turn’s performance,  but I can tell you that all of the bands before them really hurt my head. They were just loud. Not good. Loud. Really uncomfortably bad and loud. But hey, I’m a little partial to ‘my boys’ in the Turn. But I still say they shoulda won.

This is the poster on the train I sat next to on the way into the city. I thought it was a good omen.Img_5094b 

They had soooo many friends show up at the club to watch them play. That in itself was so great to see. They have so many people who love them and support them. Got some great shots both inside and outside of the club. Just love these guys- they are the best (not only amazingly talented but just good, good people). My only dissapointment of the whole night? I so wanted a picture with all ‘my boys’. But they are like a 2nd grade field trip with a bunch of ADD kids- as soon as I turn around, half of them are gone.
