So last weekend, some of the Bloody gang was lucky enough to check out the That Devil Music music festival for the first time. WE HAD A BLAST! The music was fire, (we came to see Ak’chamel, The Crazed and Sunchalked Bones of the Vanished Herds but all the bands we amazing!)the stage designs were beautiful, the people were welcoming, and the vibe was perfect.
(That Burlesque to live music tho!! 🖤🖤🖤)
