The Beyonders CD Release Show

The Beyonders Saturday night The Beyonders put together a show for the release of their first CD. They played with Cleveland power pop band Herzog and Akron surf band The Kahuna Kings. I've been friends with Beyonders' guitar player Dave Rich since I used to play in bands and at this point I could probably put together a real nice photo book of his musical projects over the years. In fact it is pretty much how I learned to shoot concert photography...

The Kahuna Kings The Kahuna Kings opened the show up and put on a surf rock clinic. Dave said he found them by Googling "Akron surf bands" - and they agreed to play their first show ever. They were awesome - if you like anything surfy you'll love them. Check out some of their recorded music on SoundCloud.  I've been rocking out to this all morning while editing photos.
