The camera gonks at Videothing documented the whole thing, proving that a) playing a show at a record store at 10.37 in the morning probably isn’t the best idea you’ve ever had, even if your band rocks and b) if you take an infant to a rock n roll show, make sure they’re wearing HUGE ear protectors.

Very enjoyable video after the break…
