#ACL Live at Seaholm After-Party
Epic.
That’s the word for the Live at Seaholm After-Party.
The decommissioned smokestacks lit up like inter-planetary transportation devices.
The concrete ribs of the generating room outlined in blue, recalling urban clubs set up in old industrial sites.
Jason and Claudia Blanchette with Kristin Owen
Hundreds — perhaps thousands — gathered around the stage for the three musical acts, culminating in Broken Social Scene.
Katie Clark and Alan Case (Generationals)
Inside, the VIPs mingled over liquid refreshments.
Jonathan Saad, Roni Gendler and Matt Smith
We spent some time with the Generationals band members. They come from New Orleans, Jesuit-educated and, therefore, pretty worldly yet other-worldly. When we pointed out many musicians had settled here after Hurricane Katrina, one said: “Send them back. We need them.”
PJ Raval, Heidi Bollock and Megan Gilbride
Rare Magazine’s Taylor Perkins, his partner in production, Jason Hicks, and Voodoo Cowboy’s Mark Mueller beamed with pride. (Also expressing pride was Taylor’s father, an oilman down from Houston.)
Sonia Hargrave, Heather Nance and Margaret Potyrala
They should be pleased.
Juanca Lopez, Monica Monroy and Enrique Gonzalez
They built the most buzz-about event outside ACL this week. And, as far as I know, it went off without a hitch. We heard members of Phoenix, Kings of Leon and other ACL bands dropped by, but we were out by the witching hour.
Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer (Generationals)
