April 28 at the Organ House

On Saturday, First Communion Afterparty, Mute Era, Gay Beast, Reverse Church and Teen Eagle all played at the Organ House in Minneapolis. I've been feeling lame all week having missed this show. So, in hopes of rebuilding this beautiful experience, here is a wonderful picture, a few mp3s, and links to the band's respective MySpace pages:
