Weekend of local rock volume 3 – Windsor benefit

The other day I said I’d sneak over and check this show out to catch a couple bands…as it turned out I saw 7 of the 9. Pirate Radio and The Frauds I’ll have to catch another day – hey I did have to get up and head to work this morning! Here’s the seven bands I saw – somehow I managed to get at least one passable picture of each, with The Sophies being a pushup as far as “passable” goes.

First here’s a shot of a few of those enjoying the show. Let the captions tell the rest of the story.

Some of the people enjoying the Tim Windsor benefit show at Seacrets in Ocean City, March 4, 2007.

Hyphen (from Cambridge) was the first band in the show. They have a really good sound and hopefully they'll get a few more shows and exposure from this one.

Property was the second band. These crunchers came all the way from Charlottesville, VA. I spoke afterward to the drummer, Keith, who told me they've only known Tim a brief time but jumped at the chance to do the show and help out the cause.

I was told Another Vicious Cycle was only doing their second show ever. This was a good stage and crowd for it, and they did pretty well for themselves.

I see these guys everywhere, they're definitely a hard-working band. By the way, I finally got smart by this point and went down on the floor for better pictures.

As usual, these guys and gal rocked the house! I have a gratuitous Michelle photo as well but I'll put it on the monoblogue Myspace site.

You want the blues? These guys have them in spades.

Sorry the photo is so dark. There ARE actually four Sophies, the two on the right were just in the dark every darn time I snapped a shot - this is the best of the bunch.

Don’t forget that I link to most of these bands too as they hail from our local area. All told, the event had raised $600 when Lower Case Blues took the stage and there were still people donating afterwards – so the total probably came up to four figures, maybe a tad shy.

All told, it was a good evening of entertainment and thanks should be extended to the bands along with Leighton Moore and the folks at Seacrets for being a great host. It put a good crowd in his joint on a Sunday night. However, this is one event you hope doesn’t have to be repeated as far as the cause is concerned.
