Scarab in Chinatown (the klog)

My friends' band Scarab (now with MySpace page!) played Friday night at the Li-Po Lounge in Chinatown! The bar looked all Chinesey and stuff:

But that's not quite where they were playing. Instead, they were playing here:

[stairs]

No, that's not a restroom. That's just the staircase to the basement (which is also where the restrooms are). :P

[basement]

Ah, and we finally get to the basement! It doesn't get more "underground" than this!

The "lighting" consisted of a couple of lamps set up on the floor:

But check out the disco ball at the back of the stage:

That disco ball is the only bit of decoration in the place. It totally classes up the joint! :P

This is ancient martial arts form called "flex-filming":

It was too dark to get good pictures of the other band members. :\

Banging away:

The band's awesome glass-tinting van:

BONUS PICS!

Look! Russ is an ATM! :P

Brain Wash has apparently changed their paintings since the last Scarab show there:
