The Vansaders, Accidental Seabirds, Hollywood Blanks Played Happy Mondays, 10/13/14 (PHOTOS)

Guest Guitarists, Homecomings, New Friends

Two local favorites and one band from out of town made up the bill for last night's Happy Mondays at The Wonder Bar. Baltimore's Hollywood Blanks joined The Vansaders and Accidental Seabirds for an eclectic evening that saw Alex Rosen (The Battery Electric, Hot Blood) taking guest rhythm guitar duties for The Vansaders, Accidental Seabirds returning home after a monthlong tour, and Hollywood Blanks playing -- in their words -- the largest stage they've played as a band.

Each band provided something different. Hollywood Blanks gave us their expansive, psychedelic take on electric folk. Accidental Seabirds played their genre-defying jams, loud and electric this time. The Vansaders brought the evening to a close with their high-energy, barroom anthems that included a cover of Avoid One Thing's "Lean on Sheena" (Yeah. That's right. Avoid One Thing. Look it up.).

Here are some photographic highlights. The rest are in the galleries.
