Hangar 18 live at The Sunset Station
KOMP End-of-Summer Kegger Party
Henderson, NV
September 13, 2003

Every year, the local radio station KOMP FM in Las Vegas NV has an end-of-summer hurrah featuring local and national acts, original and cover bands. This year, Hangar 18 was proud to be a part of the event, along with Los Angeles' The Iron Maidens and the legendary Glenn Danzig, plus Thr3 and The Sweet Al Miller Band (featuring KOMP DJ Sweet Al Miller).

The Sunset Station, one of the Station Casinos, is located in the new city of Henderson. Besides having everything you'd expect in a Vegas resort, the casino surrounded by a thriving retail area.

 

The stage was huge! The staff and crew were professional. Each of the five bands that played that night had to bring their own gear. They had two drum risers on wheels, so that as the bands changed out, the crew would roll another fully set-up drumset to the center of the stage.

Of course, Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson's drumkit barely fit on the riser!

The weather was mild for Las Vegas, but the desert sun was still unmerciful. Here, a shirtless William "Fro Mustaine" Rustrum enjoys a small breeze.

The Sunset Station show featured guitarist Michael "Mikey Friedman" Johnson.

 

Basswoman Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros strikes a power chord.

As the show progressed, the crowd began to thicken with beer-drinkin' revellers.
