Manpower and The Speak Easy threw a show in Ben's Barn on Friday, August 7, 2010.
The Speak Easy opened for Manpower around 9:40 PM... here's the video of our entire set.
Manpower consists of Caton Sollenberger (guitar/vocals), Mark Price (guitar), Peter Wolfe (bass), and Pete Sorensen (drums).
Above is a playlist of video clips of Manpower's set which went from around 10:30 PM to midnight until the state police showed up and warned us to keep it down after some noise complaints.

Cumberland Township's noise ordinance comes into effect around 10 PM as I already knew from my research for my recent essay about local noise ordinances. The state police were very reasonable about our misunderstanding. They warned us that Ben would be "going for a ride" in the back of a police car if they got called back.
The Speak Easy went on break this week from our almost daily practice schedule but we'll be recording part of our upcoming album this week once Alex returns from Mexico.
Our album from this summer is titled How The East Was Lost.
