If you missed the first evening of Summer Bash 2008 at Plan B in downtown, Tulsa, Oklahoma — you missed one hell of a show! It is okay! We captured plenty of photographs and video footage to help assist you in filling the void of local music and entertainment. No matter what we show you, you did miss an extremely energetic performance by some of Tulsa’s great local bands: We Stay Gold, Radio Radio, First Lady Assassins, P.D.A., and Violence to Vegas.
Each band performed for about forty five minutes on average and entertained with music from their extensive repertoires. The energy was noticed throughout every performance and only grew through the middle of the evening when Anthony from P.D.A. performed; prior to Violence to Vegas.
“How many of you have heard of THISTULSA.COM? If you haven’t you need to check them out online at THISTULSA.COM!” exclaimed Anthony, P.D.A., during his performance at Summer Bash. He was extremely enthusiastic and supportive of this website. Brad and I were both extremely surprised at this statement. Mad love!
The show continued throughout the midnight hour with Violence to Vegas, opened by P.D.A.’s wild performance. First Lady Assassins jammed the outdoor sand covered patio with their harmonic screaming tones, prior to Radio Radio knocking the house down with their melodies. If you’ve not witnessed performances from these bands; we recommend you check them out.
The drinks were affordable, the environment very clean, and bands well established. For eight dollars for a single night or ten dollars for both evenings; you could not ask for a better performance. The weather for this event has been absolutely beautiful and could not be any better.
We look forward to all the new visitors to the site per P.D.A.’s recommendation and personal endorsement. If you are new, let us know!
Mad props to all the bands this evening and those performing on day two (Technically that is today as well — considering it is 2:54AM now Saturday morning.)
If you have not checked out P.D.A. on myspace, do so now: myspace.com/pdaonline and follow him on twitter at twitter.com/pdaonline.
Check back in a few hours for the short video teaser, Anthony promised we would have the entire performance on the website (we told him we’d edit it down a bit.) FocusOn: Tulsa will end up posting more segments from the video in the upcoming show next week. We also have all the photographs here on flickr.com. Check them out!
On a side note, when Brad and I arrived back at his casa to have a few beers and prepare the photographs and video for release on the website; we decided to watch a flick. During this process there was a shadow figure in a straight flight path across his living room wall into his kitchen. “Dude it’s a moth.” he mentioned. “Man, it looked like a bird,” I said. “Holy ####! It is a (BLEEPING) bat!” he shouted. “Grab my camera!” I yelled while running from the sofa.
Needless to say, I think the 8″ winged monster is gone and we both don’t have rabies — that we know of.
