Wow, it's been two weeks now I think... since the Beijing Beatles (Beatles cover band made up of four foreigners from Beijing) came to perform in Dalian. My buddies The Gents and Alex's band Basement Collective also performed that night, with The Gents opening things and the BC closing things with a rowdy bang. Twas an interesting and very enjoyable night. I had to work early the next morning so I didn't get as smashed as I would have liked, but I was able to soberly take some cool photos of the three groups and the crowd.
Oh, I should mention that I choose a certain style of editing the photos for each of the three different groups. I tried to go with a more a old school look for the BB and a newer, edgier look for the BC. I personally prefer the look of The Gents in black and white, but there are several color shots as well.

The Crowd
During the Basement Collective set, things got a bit rowdy. The Dalian locals were quite inebriated so a dance/riot occurred, instigated by big Matt and encouraged by howling Alex. Ian, Francis and some others even took to the stage to sing along with...I forget what song...but it was cool and a great time...too bad I couldn't get wasted, or else I surely would have been in the midst of the action, rather than on the sidelines taking photos.
