The first night of Lincoln Exposed 2013 offered a diverse array of bands from the death metal onslaught of Ezra to the computerized pop of Thirst Things First. All the walking between concerts was contained in the two-block radius of The Bourbon, The Zoo Bar and Duffy's Tavern, too, making for a night with little room for downtime.
Hear what the bands had to say for themselves with their choice quotes below, listen to live audio from shows and see photos tagged with #LincolnExposed on Twitter further below.
Plan for the remaining three days of the festival with the schedule at the bottom. Door is $7 per day or $20 for an all-access pass. All tickets and passes will be available at each venue.
