North American Scum – December 6th – 1up Colfax

Estimated read time 4 min read

Despite the Christmas parties that were raging all over town and a number of good shows packing venues on Colfax and beyond, the 1up-Colfax drew a solid crowd on Saturday night when North American Scum took the stage to perform two sets of LCD Soundsystem . The crowd was an eclectic mix of regulars, hippies, hipsters and 30 somethings looking to spend a few hours with the music of a band that called it quits at the height of their career. There’s no doubt that those who made it out for this were glad they did.

The energy that was radiating through the crowd was nothing short of magical and everyone were bound together in the cool damp confines of one of the most spectacular venues on earth to witness the kind of spectacle that legends are made of.
