Fireworks Go Up Show at Luna Lounge

Here's another little mini-entry. On Thursday night a bunch of us went to Luna Lounge to see Grant and Fatty play in the (the now defunct) Fireworks Go Up!

katie, liz, siege — Siege, Katie and Liz on the shiny, pleather couch.

lori, me — Lori Craven even managed to sneak away from her two babies and came up from Souther Jersey to see the show!

fatty, grant — The Fireworks Go Up record is really, really good, but I've got to be honest with you. I was only there to see one thing:

fatty, grant — More of Grant's aerial shennanigans! Pretty high, right?

fatty, grant — Higher!

The back-to-back guitarists: another classic move taken from the best of 80s hair-metal videos.

fatty, grant — If you're looking to capture the jump-shots, you gotta shoot with an itchy shutterfinger. I saw movement and snapped figuring Grant was getting ready to launch into another big kick and instead managed to capture this totally awkward (sideway?) leg kick. Hahaha.

fatty — The Fatty sweating it up on the bass.

grant — "Hey, Fatty check out this one..."

fatty, grant — Hahaha. The fact that Fatty and Grant are making eye contact make this "Back to the Future" moment even funnier.

frank, heather, liz — And then egged on by our cheering, Grant launched into...

fatty, grant — ...the craziest, highest rock n' roll jump kick I've ever seen in my life. If only DLR (who lives less than a block away, incidentally) could've been there to see it - he would've wept with joy knowing his heir apparent lives. (This is so wallpaper worth - click here for the hi-res version).

heather, liz — After the show, the newly enaged Liz (aka - the future Mrs. Frank Picarazzi) show off tha rock. Congratulations you two!

grant, lori — And Lori showed off her "I'm a new mommy" juggz with the sultriest of smoldering stares.
