They blew into town…like the reigning kings of the “it” music genre…the “Monsters of Folk” as they have branded themselves – Conor Oberst, Jim James, M.

…with Nick Lowe…double bill, but Nick was more the 50 min set opener… Very fun, his set…my favorite part was the song that referenced “Rick Astley” who had a hit that was kind of “ghastly” lmao…the crowd, a bunch of latter day gen Xers, etc…totally got the reference. Perhaps the oddest thing about the show […]

Bat for Lashes in Black & White

…Simple, stark, a bit grainy, dramatic… I think this describes her music, the show, and the final images, processed here to black & white… I don’t do a pure b/w process much these days…but it seemed more than called for, to illustrate Bat for Lashes…a literal lack of light…lot’s of grain…at first I thought, the […]

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 […]
