CONCERT REVIEW: Power Trip – Ceremony – Frozen Soul – The Final Agony Live at The Knockdown Center


8.24.24 Knockdown Center, Brooklyn, NY

A hot sweaty night in Queens at a former industrial manufacturing plant turned music complex known as the Knockdown Center was an ideal setting for a limited run of dates for the Power Trip reunion. I had been fortunate enough to have captured PT a handful of times when Riley Gale (RIP) was still kicking ass, so I was really looking forward to getting a chance to see this homage on the anniversary of his passing.  It did not disappoint, bodies were flying over the rail left and right and I had to keep my head on a swivel. You can check out the talented @tinfoilbiter on instagram for a photo of me being courteous to a fan’s desire to sing along after coming over the barricade. It was a party and the homies came out from far and wide for this only east coast date.Continue reading
