On Thursday night, LIMBS took over The Bends in St. Petersburg, Florida. We were only half joking when we asked whether it was possible to bounce off the walls there, but it looks like the crowd almost proved the point when the Tampa post-hardcore outfit took to that infamous water hole for a free show with Blacksmith.

Brian Mahar was there, and has these shots to share. Check them out, along with some music from LIMBS, below.
