Knight Area.....I forgot about that, he changed his shirt four times. Reminds me of the kid who had four shirts for the four bands that played a show years ago...

But the singer had a great voice, didn't yell, and really was unobtrusive. Really, what does a frontman have to look like? It's the singing that counts. Two singers with great voices,The Proto-Kaw guy and the Cryptic Vision guy did the obligatory air-soloing and handclapping, that gets on my nerves after a while. And the pointing to the soloist...that's just dumb. Oh yes, the tambourine! Must have that!

The ring did hurt my eyes...but just because he's a prettyboy doesn't mean a thing either way to me. He sang, walked around a little and left. Sounds good to me.
