RiYL Records Night: WRAP-UP! /// August 01, 2004 12:05 AM /// dispatch from Chris!
How in the world is it August already? Time flies when yr having funnnn: Last night was Recommended If You Like Records Night at Galapagos (aka the RiYL-Super-Summer-Jamz-Dance-P arty) and it was completely radical. Galapagos was packed and every band was in top form.
Things got started with a few quieter songs by Chris Maher and ended with an explosive set from the Fugue. In between, the crowd went nuts for the reunited Daggerhearts, dug new songs by Glitter Pals, saw the second to last Pathways set with original drummer Pete Shanel, wintessed the second electric set by the Wowz and were treated to an unannounced appearance by the Morningsides.
Nick and Alex from Automato also kept things fun in between sets by spinning some excellent tunes. Things couldn't have gone much better... Below are some pictures from the show (if you've got more or any audio/video, send us an email at info@riylrecords.com):
