🎶 ok, Candace Kucsulain (Walls of Jericho) is a beast! #FF23
🎶 I didn’t know Vein.fm but will be checking them out. Impressive, chaotic live show. #FF23
🎶 Just saw the Clark Brothers (see: Training For Utopia, Demon Hunter, art for many Solid State bands) and told ‘em I’m excited for tomorrow.
Been hoping for a TFU show for ages. Always wondered if they could do a track after a DH show, but this is better! #FF23

🎶 tempted to bring my Blood and Fire artwork to Furnace Fest for signatures, but most of those members aren’t in the band anymore. #FF23
