Power of the Riff 2011

As always, a full review has been published here. For now, Power of the Riff 2011 was a great show, very well organized and executed by Southern Lord Records head honcho Greg Anderson.

My schedule consisted of the following after arriving at about 3:30pm:

Acephalix 3:45-4:15 Main Stage
Black Cobra 4:30-5:00 Main Stage
All Pigs Must Die 5:15-6:00 Main Stage

Eat a Waste 'Em All Burger at Grill 'Em All, drink some Newcastle, and then wander around, maybe catch a bit of Alpinist and/or Black Breath upstairs. I caught a few moments of Alpinist, and then headed back outside again. I subsequently chatted with a few friends, and then headed back inside to catch most of Pelican's set on the main stage.

Then...

Winter 8:15-9:15 Main Stage
Eyehategod 9:30-10:30 Main Stage
Pentagram 10:45-End Main Stage

Winter flat out stole the show. Acephalix, Black Cobra, and Eyehategod were close seconds. All bands started on time, or very nearly so.

The t-shirt haul (Eyehategod only; I didn't like the only Winter design available)...

Therefore, next up will be...
