Alana Gentry at The Gig

by chris cunningham


Alana Gentry [LINK] and “friends” at “The Gig”. Sandro [LINK] emailed me this flyer of a friend of his that was playing at “The Gig” Saturday night. He thought I’d be interested. Well yeah, a girl with a guitar, count me in. Try finding parking around Melrose on a Saturday night though. I almost drove half way back home before I found a spot. Of course I always do my homework on someone before going to a show. Where they play, do they have any recordings? You know, curiosity stuff. Musicians who wear hats on stage always seem much more serious. Like it’s a sign to leave them alone because they’re concentrating. Just an observation. Elton John wore some pretty silly hats though so maybe my theory isn’t quite refined enough. If you take enough photos at a show, you inevitably get an armpit shot. There’s always somebodys head in the way too. “the GIG” logo sticking out her head looks like a hairy condom. Drummers really get screwed on the whole visibilty thing. Except that “Night Ranger” dude who sits on the side and sideways like here. [LINK] Alana introduced her Grandfather who was out in the audience. I have to give her credit because it’s kinda hard dance around the stage all sexy and shit when your family is hanging out at your show. There are photos of me on that other camera. I do exist. Go visit his site sometime. [LINK] That photo might actually show up. Alana came out after the show and acted very vampiric. I do know the girl on far right in the background was v e r y friendly. That would be Emily. Oh Emily. Then there was the blonde. I left MY Kangol cap in the car. The next band was threatening to come on so we left. Tah dah.
