Don’t shoot the bass player…Noise for the Needy 2009

That’s right…don’t shoot the bass player…this was the edict on the headliner for the first of 2 gigs I shot this weekend, both at Neumo’s supporting the Noise for the Needy 2009 Festival…

The request was an odd one, security crossed it’s eyes! but alas pretty easy to accomplish as she was stage opposite of most all the ‘togs…though I think she may be in the back ground of one my images of the lead guitarist…

Altogether it was lots of fun, met some interesting people…this was the second year in a row I shot some of the Noise for the Needy shows; last year as a volunteer for the NFTN group, and this year covering it for LiveDaily.com…It’s for a great cause and it’s great to see all the people in the Seattle music scene and beyond, coming out for it!
