More Site Updates: Another Gallery and Show Archives

Another gallery has been added:

Part of the new burningshadows.com‘s mission is to chronicle the extensive and epic history of the band. In accordance with this, the band’s entire list of shows since the band first took to the stage in 2002 has been added to the site. Show information migrated from the previous website (late 2007 – autumn 2009) is largely unformatted. Show information from the original website is somewhat easier to read. For most shows, a set list has been included.

  • The earliest known video of Burning Shadows is from the January 24, 2003 show at ThunderDome.
  • Then-bassist/vocalist Brian forgot his bass for the May 28, 2003 show at The Depot in Baltimore. It was the first bassless show Burning Shadows played.
