I have absolutely no competency with a camera, so this should be interesting.

Perfect Orange's Last Show - Tryin' to Make the World Safe for Ska


It's been one helluva ride. I've already said all there is to be said on my personal blog, so if you wanna know who they are or what it's been like, go check it out.

The show was amazing. It went almost three hours and I took 154 pictures! This is likely to be a long one cause there's a ton to show, so lets get to it.

Me and Jina, another long time PO fan. It's funny, I keep gettin' thinner and the chicks keep gettin' hotter.

My good friend and amazing singer/guitarist Jacob opened for the guys.

O'Charley's was a bunch of bastards and wouldn't let any of the under 21s inside the gate, to the guys turned the stage to face the parking lot and they played for the die hard fans that braved 30 degree weather only to be locked outside. It was the coolest thing they could have done.

Getting ready to start.

Go!!

Zac. Lead singer and Guitar.

Ben. Trumpet.

Doug. Drums, formerly Trombone.

Travis. Saxophone.

Doug #2. Bass.

Former bassist Brett played a couple songs with the guys.

The Dougs singing backup.

Original drummer Ryan rocks out one last time.

Get down.

Former saxophone player Chase gets a final look from the stage sid

One helluva show.

It kinda became tradition that Jacob would come in from the audience and sing lead on "Holding On To Nothing." He was, as usual, awesome.

Skankin'.

The audience is pleased...

...And the band is carried off the stage.

Doug gets all the ladies.


The end of an era.

PO may be gone, but the memories I've had runnin' with these guys and seeing 'em play dozens of shows and making truly awesome music will be with me forever. I love you guys and your music will be missed.

Remember that night...
