The
Breathe Carolina show was good from beginning to end; if the energy expressed on the stage that night could have been caught and bottled, it might have gone a long way to solving the power needs of a small country or a large US state.
But: if I'm totally honest, it was the first band on stage,
lionfight, who blew me away.

Nick Astacio of lionfight |
They only played four songs, I think. Might have been five. But no more than that. They seem to spend half the time in mid-air, some of the time flat on the floor, and the whole time making really intense, half-pure, half-screamo metal rock. (Yeah, I know,
I use labels too.)

Nick Astacio is a music-photographer's dream. Incredibly expressive, active, intense, and as long as the light's right, each shot is a gem. You'll see a lot more of Nick in the gallery at
http://alisontoon.com/lionfight along with the rest of the band (all: very talented, very expressive, and together they put on a must-see show).
