Derby Week is always a little rowdy in the Ville. And Derby Eve is ESPECIALLY unhinged! So a concert by Irish punk band Fontaines D.C. was the perfect way to get the party started. Photographer Nik Vechery made it into the pit for the sold-out show at Mercury Ballroom on 5/2 and shared his pics with us.

“I guess I can’t complain if I’m not ever making changes. Then I can’t expect a thing to change, and I’ve been going through some phases that I never want to let replay. But what do I expect is coming to me, from the way I spend Sunday through Saturday.” - The Jesse Lees
