Update: Doctor Who screening

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Ina break from my usual concert-going ways, I attended the public screening for long-running UK TV show Doctor Who (which you may not be watching, but you must have heard of by now).  The new head-writer/exec Steven Moffat and the two leads of the newest season (Matt Smith as The Doctor and Karen Gillan as his assistant, Amy Pond) conducted a Q&A with the 300+ strong audience after the showing of the first episode, The Eleventh Hour.

Before the screening Steven, Matt and Karen posed for photographers outside the East Village Cinema…

Update: Muse

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

In March (almost two months ago now – a sure sign I need to update more often!), Muse headlined Madison Square Garden once more and this time it was sold out. To celebrate their new-found star power, they brought an elaborate set up with them that consisted of three towering platforms, on which they performed.

Though I had been granted a photo pass, this is MSG we’re talking about, and with the pass being more trouble than it was worth, I opted for a GA location near the stage with my Canon point and shoot.

Update: Little Boots, Class Actress, Body Language

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I always have fun at a Little Boots show, and this one was no exception. She played the Highline Ballroom, one of the best lit small venues in New York, which went a long way in making this a good experience. Nothing worse for a concert photographer than shooting photos in the dark (I’m looking at you, Class Actress).

Update: Findlay Brown

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Findlay Brown‘s low-key set with his band at Joe’s Pub was my first show of the year and, despite all the hostesses trying to sell me something edible, I enjoyed it.

The first time I saw Findlay was at a CMJ showcase in October (some photos here), and I enjoyed it enough to give him another go. The show was much richer due to the band’s presence. They did a snappy cover of the Eurythmics‘ classic “Sweet Dreams.” The songs of his new album, Love Will Find You, did not sound too shabby either.

Fun fact: he used to be a bare-knuckle boxer. Who knew!

Updates: Florence + the Machine, Holly Miranda + Nada Surf

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

After seeing Florence do an acoustic show at the CMJ Fader party (photos here) only a few days before, I was very excited to see the full production. And was not disappointed.

Holly Miranda opened with a very low-key performance and a few members of Nada Surf helped out with backing band duties as she doesn’t have a band of her own.

Take a look at the full photo gallery from the show at Prefix and read the review of the (frankly) amazing show on Popnography.

Next up: A 50/50 chance of photo coverage for the AFI/Gallows show next Friday in New York. Either I sign away the photos in a contract and legally can’t post them on my own site, or I don’t get the pass and don’t take the photos. Make that a 90/10 chance in favor of not.
