Independents’ Day has grown so much since its beginnings on Gay St. A few years ago the festival expanded into East Franklinton and this year there were seven stages for two days of music and performances.

Girlpool, Frankie Cosmos, & Yowler played a sold out Double Happiness last night! I’ve never seen that venue fill up like that.
Girlpool and Frankie Cosmos play together.
Maryn Jones of Yowler. And Saintseneca. And All Dogs. And just like, great things all together.
Tim Kasher of Cursive is among my favorite live performers. This photo from 2012 of their packed show at Rumba Cafe here in Columbus is still one of my favorite photos. Kasher jumped out into the audience for the last couple songs and the concert goers organically surrounded him and suddenly became part of the show themselves. No one else can energize the crowd like these guys.
Someday I should publish a book purely of crowd shots from shows.
While being extremely vain and searching the internet for some long lost My Chemical Romance photos I took in the previous decade I stumbled onto this nice post.

Of course, all those photos are saved on one of my four external hard drives. I should bring them back out and continue this My Chem nostalgia I’ve been living.
