Update: Franz Ferdinand and Born Ruffians

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Last Thursday I went to see one of my favorite live bands, Franz Ferdinand, at Roseland Ballroom (perhaps not my most favored venue). It was much more expansive than their previous two small gigs in NYC and it was a pleasure taking photos, first from the photo pit and then from behind the barricade, alternating pogoing with photoing.

Born Ruffians opened, but did not impress.

Several more photos of both bands are found at Gigwise and an actual review of the show can be read at Out’s Popnography.

Up next: Shooting Little Boots next week. Perhaps posting several reviews in the meantime…
