Free TV : Ustream
The above was sent to me by an intern at ustream and I thought some of you might enjoy the performances. To be noted, of course, is that Kevin Devine will be performing on Saturday @ 230pm CT. Enjoy!

Mindless Self Indulgence & Hollowboy [current] 13 March 2009
The last photo is just of someone's mom in the audience. How she put up with the whole thing, I'm not sure because she looked frustrated and upset the whole time. I venture to say it was her first time in a pit. At any rate, to anyone who has never seen MSI before I highly recommend it. It can't even be called a show but more like an experience. There are so many things from that night that I will never forget, including Jimmy pulling 2 other photographers and myself up on stage and slapping my ass. Molestation was apparently necessary. And then the man snorted fun dip and god only knows it would take me all of ten pages to sum up the night. In short, it was fucking ridiculous in the best possible way. Make a note and mark your calendars next time they're about. It's a must see.

Thursday, Bring Me The Horizon [current] 3rd March 2009
Thursday is one of those bands that I've been in love with for upwards for eight years. Every time I see them live I really am completely floored by their performance. Geoff Rickly has a stage presence I don't think that anyone can quite touch. Their set was the perfect combination of old and new. I haven't really been able to stop listening to Thursday since Friday because of this but that is never a bad thing!
Pierce the Veil, Four Year Strong, Cancer Bats [current] 3rd March 09
Taste of Chaos this year probably had the most cohesive lineup I've ever seen. The shows I went to were truly amazing. And I had the opportunity to catch up with Pierce the Veil and spend a little time in their completely awesome RV. I'll have more stuff posted soon for everyone to enjoy. In the mean time check out the photos. PTV are my new band to obsess about; they're few and far between. And they have the most epic cover of Beat It. Fall Out Boy should be ashamed.

Kevin Devine [current] 22 Jan 2009
For the first time ever I had the pleasure of using an XSi and I have to say I had a lot of fun shooting with it. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to warm up with the camera prior to the show and so I apologize for the small size of many of the images shot; the set up is different than my XTi and I did not realize what a small low quality the photos were taken in. Fortunately, I did snag some images of Kevin's performance with my XTi as well and those are up to par with what I normally take. The performance was outstanding. Very intimate and touching. He had the entire crowd sit down for the hour and twenty or so minutes he played for us and joked with us. I apologize for the limited angles as I didn't want to be in everyone's way the whole time.

Family Portraits & December (current) 25 & 27th December 2008
The holidays are here and though the snow has melted outside my window, the air is still a little nippy. The tree is still standing. People are still spending time with their family or friends. This Christmas was much like every other come to pass at my household but for once I decided to take the time to stop, sit back, and capture it.

Senses Fail & Dance Gavin Dance (current) 22 November 2008
Dance Gavin Dance I don't remember most of the set for. Probably in part because I was having a ton of fun the other part because I was trying not to get my ass hit by crowd surfers up front while taking photographs. Senses Fail always puts on the fucking greatest show I have ever seen. The way Buddy just throws himself around on stage like a ragdoll that could somehow maul your ass dead if you looked at him the wrong way is epic. And then there was the fact that I pretty much got punched in the face by my own camera as a ridiculous reaction to getting hit by a crowd surfer haha.
Foxy Shazam & Sky Eats Airplane (current) November 22, 2008
foxy is one of the more eclectic bands that i have ever seen live, including cigarette eating and the likes. though some might find it hard to follow or find themselves "what the fuck"ing the majority of the time, it is a high strung and very energetic performance. sky eats airplane, though they didn't make me question what was going on the whole time, was also a very energetic and ridiculously good band live. these bands were a nice change from what normally may be seen opening for senses fail.

Don't Ask (current) 7 November 2008
the club could have been nice if it wasn't quite so sketchy. some man in only his underwear stood in his window across the street tangling himself in a curtain. a forty year old dude proceeded to strip inside the club itself and jump up on a pole to pole dance. if it wasn't so funny i might have been scared. don't ask egged him on with a little diddy called "shirt man".

Straylight Run (current) October 30, 2008
Straylight Run was one of the best performances I've seen in awhile, perhaps because they are so completely different and set aside from what the industry standard is right now. The show was phenomenal, relaxed, intimate, and overall fun. It's a good day to be optimistic when there are shows that still occur that are full of love.
The Cleveland Patrol & Bad Form, Peter (current) October 30, 2008
Photographs of the openers for Straylight Run. Both bands were really great and put all their heart into playing. It's nice to see the audience actually show some love for the openers-- it's not something you see as often as you used to.
Little Sister (backdated) 2008
Boredom sometimes works wonders and while subjects may not always love having their photos taken, little sister's are kind enough to lend a helping hand when you want to test out a new lens you've purchased.

Kinsey Sicks (current) October 29, 2008
Last night I had to hold my sides from laughter; it hurt so much and yet was so amazingly perfect. Dragcapella is what they call it and I can't think of anything that sums it up quite so well. Interaction from the audience. Impromptu lapdances. I don't think I've ever seen tuck jobs quite so great as these.
