Akron/Family (1/19/12)

This was a particularly exciting show, as I had family visiting from back home and was very excited to take them to a show at the Beachland!  Especially being Akron/Family, who I thoroughly enjoyed last time I saw them.  Leave it to this scenario (where I'm showing someone the Beachland for the first time) for it to be a completely different experience than normal.  We walked in to the band being set up in the middle of the floor.  Case in point:

Akron/Family (1/19/12)

It was an interesting setup and it played nicely with the crowd - but this was a completely different experience than before.   Last time it was just this amazing non-stop jam session.  This time, there was much more engagement with the audience (which always makes me a little nervous).  I think part of the issue was that there were just generally less people than last time (and in a larger space).  That didn't stop Akron/Family from rocking out though.  They were as avant-garde as ever… I'm not sure my guests entirely appreciated it, but I still did.  I'll be looking forward to a  new release from them coming sometime soon.
