I got to see our good friend Max this past week… his band Max and the Marginalized played at Beat Kitchen. I took some photos… if I had known they wanted some good shots, I would have brought some better equipment. As it was, I ran out of film and got just a few semi-crappy shots.

Also, check this out… there’s an article about the band in today’s Washington Post:

Last year, Max Bernstein’s pop-rock band, the Actual, released an album, joined the Warped Tour and performed with supergroup Velvet Revolver.

Bernstein celebrated his most notable year in the music industry by breaking up the band and stage-diving into the broadside business.

His latest proffer is political protest songs — blunt musical statements about the Bush administration, abortion rights, Sen. John McCain’s position on Iraq, the mainstream media, civil liberties and such.

Make sure to check out the entire article.

In other news… I really wish the Wordpress iPhone app would work for me. It crashes when I try to set up my blog. Not fair.
