The beers were flowing from about the moment I walked into the venue, and based on the amount of people I saw double fisting, I knew it was going to be an interesting night. ...

Finally, the headlining band of the night, the Interrupters, launched into “A Friend Like Me” with little delay. The sudden energy from the band and the crowd proved to be more than a short burst, as it continued throughout the rest of their set.
