sea wolf @ troubadour - 9.17.09

it’s odd. i have seen sea wolf four times now, and i only got good photos once.

what gives?

best photo night: sea wolf touring with silversun pickups in denver. it was an epic night.

three times since, not so epic. and my photos keep sucking.

hmmmmmm.

brad over on radio free silver lake reviewed the show.

fun night, with more to come each monday in september with leslie and the badgers headlining. go see ’em!

sunset junction music fest – 8.22 & 8.23 2009

conor oberst @ sunset junction 2009

while the sunset junction music festival was in late august, i’m just now getting around to posting images. maybe it’s because the whole weekend was bitter-sweet for me. bitter because i couldn’t get my FREE resident pass since i missed the pass pick-up date due to my trip to colorado. THEN i got the run-around trying to pick-up my media pass.

once the drama subsided, the festival itself turned out to be an adventure in heat endurance and fighting my way up to the stage to shoot photos. the main stage turned out to be the most fun, complete with the best bands and a photo pit. yay.

and, really, how can i complain when bands like conor oberst and the mytic valley band, local natives, and nortec collective are playing less than a block away from my house?!

will the festival happen again next year? no idea. but at least i got to experience it once.

his orchestra @ bootleg theater – 8.29.09

his orchestra @ bootleg theater - 8.29.09

i have not been keeping this site updated with shows, as i have been spending all my time at the beach, slacking like crazy. right before i headed to san diego sun and surf, i caught his orchestra at the bootleg theater. i’m a huge fan of this LA band, but had never seen them live. while the show started out pretty rough, and i thought the night was gonna be disappointing, things turned around pretty quickly. big relief. and it wasn’t just the shirtless “saved by the bell” debauchery that left me wanting more.
