5 nights of live music
If you know me, you know how much live music is a part of my day to day life. It offers me catharsis. Something I've always wanted to do is go to gigs on for a week (or equivalent) one night after the other - no breaks. Here is how that played out:

Night 2
when: thu, 29 june 2023
who: esoteric
support: burden man, illimitable dolar
genre: funeral doom

misc: lots of headbanging, missed seeing burden man, met someone who shared how they find solace in this type of music
Night 3
when: fri, 30 june 2023
