Stelth and Blake had dumpstered a ton of food from Trader Joe’s that wasn’t too far away from the house. They didn’t really dumpster it like they intended but instead they were handed food that was about to get thrown out (fortunately the employees at Trader Joe’s know that people do this and are cool about it). The amount of food salvaged was enough for everyone to snack on in Shenandoah Davis’s house.

During the Dovekins set there were a few interesting moments had nothing to do with with the actual performance. It mainly dealt with two unnamed and very drunk crust punks that showed up sometime after the band started their set.

In case you can’t hear it, they came inside the house, tripped over some backpacks, musical gear, and a laptop, then proceeded to apologize loudly- apparently oblivious to their decibel and the bands. They also brought a dog with them. This [very cute] dog barked loudly in front of the house at might what have been 10:30pm on a very residential area of Capitol Hill. Blake (plays upright bass) shushed the dog through the window once and there were several moments where one the crust punks was asked to take care of the dog, which only resulted the dog being yelled at that later was taken to the side of the house.

… Aside from that, Dovekins played a marvelous set. It was unamplified, rich with group vocal accompaniment, finger snapping, band to audience claps and interaction. For about an hour Dovekins played and everyone was super into it either dancing or standing in a very tight room. If no one was in the living room where they were playing, they were either in the dining room area because they couldn’t fit into the living room, or they were in the kitchen eating the food that had been acquired earlier.
