I was convinced that one of these bands was an Amelia Fletcher project and the other was known for a disastrous concert (some kind of collapse?) that claimed the lives of multiple audience members. I just wasn't sure which was which. but it turns out the disaster I had in mind was actually a suicide at a Swell Season show, and my brane had muddled up the details. pretty perplexing!
