It's always nice to see The Welzeins boys back in town, and thankfully Brian Mahar was back behind the lens on Saturday as the Orlando rock outfit returned to The Bends alongside locals Teacher Teacher. 

The best part? The Welz lads are working on a follow up to Megafauna.

"The end isn't in sight yet, but it's going to be a further expansion of what we've sounded like in the past," the band told Orlando Weekly, "way faster, way slower, a little more prog, definitely heavier, plus bass."

Have a look at the photos below.
