15.Ju1.06: Berlin

Nine Inch Nails + Bauhaus
27.Jun.06: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Everybody in Northeast Ohio has a Trent story from the old days: he used to frequent the record shop where I worked. Of course, I haven't seen him around much lately...

Fiery Furnaces + Man Man
27.Jun.06: Philadelphia

Brookville
3.Jul.06: New York
