Aegaeon at Rocketown on 2010-05-22
Along with Hester Prynne, Evansville, IN’s very own Aegaeon. The midwest-based quintet has been burning up America with back-to-back tours all year and it shows, they’ve got a tight, cohesive stage show. They play some great death metal …

Validus at The Talent Farm on 2010-05-01
