Rock Showcase at Hard Rock Café Seattle
Urban Collapse, Underride and Superfekta played to a close to sold out crowd at The Hard Rock Café on Friday, Jan 21st. A special thank you to the HRC staff for all their help with this successful night! It was an honor to have Don Dodge, who is currently the sound engineer for Foreigner and who has worked with Paul Rodgers and Bad Company, Michael Jackson and Bonnie Rait, help with sound for Underride. Also in the crowd that night were Ben The Psycho Muppet of KISW’s The Men’s Room, plus members of Syztem 7, Nether, The Flanagan Precept, Astrovan, Riverbend and Pretty Enemy! It was a night to remember and we can’t wait to go back! Photos were taken by Travis Lawton Photography. www.travislawton.com.
