On the last Saturday of November 2014, Sleaford Mods made their US debut at The Wick in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They, along with the opening acts--The Rogers Sisters and The Gotobeds--sounded on point and filled the relatively large Brooklyn space with energy and intensity. I really enjoyed shooting this show (despite the pretty dim lighting) and hope to catch these bands again soon.
Dread Scott, The Raveonettes, and Coves in "Events & Shows"
I recently shot The Raveonettes and Coves at The Music Hall of Williamsburg for Impose Magazine. Photos from that set (and additional photos that I had wanted to include but couldn't due to submission restrictions) can now be found on the "Events & Shows" page.
Also newly added to "Events & Shows" are photos I took on my iPhone of artist Dread Scott's performance "On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide". It was, to say the least, a powerful and moving commentary on race, culture, history, and community without a single word being spoken. I urge you to click the above links to learn about Dread Scott and this piece. I've also uploaded a slow-motion video of a portion of the performance below.
Soon I'll be off on a little trip outside of NYC, and I will hopefully bring you some fresh photos from the lands beyond Brooklyn in the next couple of weeks.
New Photos in "Events" and a Blogging Confession
I've just uploaded new photos to the Events page of bands Greys, The Dirty Nil, and Hector's Pets--all fantastic acts with a great sound. Even if you don't like looking at photos of guys in bands, check out the photos to see the Candy Crush-esque wall at Baby's All Right. I thought I was going to have a seizure at some point.
And my blogging confession? I'M TERRIBLE AT BLOGGING. Sorry about the delays between posts, I never know what to tell you. That's probably why I just take pictures instead.
Stay tuned for more images, my patient friends!
