And, we got to rock out in the middle of the street to a bunch of raging PDX party hounds! Twas AWESOME!! And our pals, Lord Dying, shredded their way through their first show ever.. Watch out for these guys, they are gonna take the metal world on a fantastical trip. I mean, it's dudes from Le Force & Black Elk for chrissake!!
