This is album cover material.

LOOK how clear this turned out! And take a closer look, at the shadow of a hand thrusting up the peace sign.

That ain't Richard Nixon's digits; those belong to my friend and Gentleman co-enthusiast, Jamison. 

Words, Power and Sound 

I couldn't think of a better group of guys to go to the show with.

Coop, if you're out there, you should have been with us. But don't worry, he's going to Bermuda this summer buddy 

which is why, even with a crappy camera like mine, we were able to get such close shots 

We were in the fourth row the whole time 

Gentleman.
The man himself. 

Another Gentleman background singer, and the mother of his little son Samuel 

One of Gentleman's three background singer.

This one is mine. Someday. 

I love you, too! 

I was going this crazy at just Culcha Candela, and I proved to be correct when, right after his picture, already full of vibes, I leaned over to the other three and said, "This band's got nothing on what's coming up."

What a day. 

Hunter, having a moment himself 

Chase 

All four of us were feeling the sounds.
Chase on left, Jamison on right 

the sun is setting, Culcha Candela is winding down, people are ready for Gentleman 

die burg 

This is die Burg, the castle of Abenberg. It's what makes this venue so beautiful.

It's a funny thought: this tower used to be the lookout point for invading armies; on June 23, it was the lookout point for something a little more mellow. 

I have a non-sexual man crush on the dj for Culcha Candela.

Think of a boy band who can't dance nearly as well, with six MC's who do everything from accapella to reggae to rapping, and a dj that holds all of it together, without taking a step away from that podium.

If anyone ever hears of these guys while traveling, GO SEE THEM. I doubt you'd be able to find any of their stuff in the States. 

The third band, Berlin-based Culcha Candela

amazing.

Me: "How many euros for this?"

Woman working: "Eight hundred."

Me: laughter
