LIVE REVIEW & PHOTOS: ASSUMING WE SURVIVE, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

“I once dropped off my daughter at school in our tour bus, and she was embarrassed!” lead singer of Assuming We Survive, Adrian Estrella told my dad and I, to which my father responded with, “Well of course, dads are supposed to embarrass their kids!” It seems a little cheesy and awkward to have your parent hanging out with you when you’re trying to be cool around the lead singer of your favorite band, but that’s where I was on Sunday night. The Black Sheep in Colorado Springs is a tiny venue and the parking lot is filled with the smell of pot from the nearby dispensaries, but everyone braved the cold winds to see the headliner.

MY FIRST TIME: Mike & Matt Gevaza – Continental Recording Studio

The first full length album that we recorded at Continental was the self­titled release from Brooklyn­ based indie rockers John Severin and the Quiet 1s.
