Photos: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) @ The Underground (Venue’s Final Show)

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) @ The Underground

One does not simply blog about the end of an era.  Nor are these ordinary words surrounded by digital photographs on a screen.

During !!! (Chk Chk Chk)‘s headlining performance at The Underground this past Friday (July 27th, 2012), there was an urgency sensed throughout the venue.  An urgency to finish all of the alcohol behind the bar in preparation of their end-of-the-day move-out on July 28th, that is.

All sadness aside, this was a fantastic closing party for The Underground and owner Remi Jourdan, with not only a jammy dance-punk wonky funk performance by !!! up-front, but plenty of late-night debauchery going on in the Treehouse Lounge out back.

There were beautiful, albeit extremely drunk, ladies and gentlemen brimming throughout, carrying on as if it may just be the end of the world (as we know it); and as expected, a good time was had by all … especially when singer Nic Offer took the stage with what could only be assumed to be a psychedelic acid trip-laced homage to John Heder’s dance scene in Napoleon Dynamite.

Check out the clip above and compare to our animated GIF … we’d LOVE to hear your thoughts!  Maybe we’re completely off target or perhaps this was a fantastic re-enactment?

In case anyone is wondering… ISO stayed between 1600 – 6400, shutter speed stayed constant at 1/250th of a second and aperture also stayed dialed-in at f/2.8 on my Nikon D7000 + AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED body + lens combo that evening.

While I’ve always found The Underground to be more on the dark side, and a challenge for me to photograph, this fast glass from Nikon really helped out a lot in capturing the ambient lighting without obnoxiously blinding everyone with a flash.  Yeah, I care about your eyes… no matter if you’re a performer or party person!
