Live Photos: Can Can, Tenth To The Moon, The Swear @ Drunken Unicorn 12/6/08

When Can Can celebrated the release of their first LP, All Hell, at the Drunken Unicorn with fellow Atlanta bands Tenth To The Moon and The Swear, Paste:Local's photographer was there to capture all the pop-punk craziness. (Note: Trial By Fire also performed, but unfortunately none of us arrived in time to see them play.) 

It was a night celebrating the lead singer, the front-person of every act looming larger than life. Elizabeth Elkins led The Swear with a thundering certainty. Same goes for Mitchell Foy, who fronted Tenth To The Moon in face paint and strategically ripped clothing-- the music seemed irreversibly bound to the band's costuming concept.

Finally, Can Can took the stage, equipped with Patrick A.'s usual exuberance and his bandmates' characteristic energy. It became clear that for Patrick, who by the end of the set had chewed on his microphone cord, ripped his shirt open and even leapt onto the beer-soaked floor face-first, the greatest challenge lies not in making music, but in sitting still.
