Interview With Damian of Fucked Up

I interviewed Damien of Fucked Up last week and it's up on Paste Punk. Check it out here.

Photos from the show here.

Panda Bear photos

I forgot to mention this last week, but Rolling Stone picked up one of my images for their review of the Panda Bear show that happened at Bowery last week. Check it out here. Awesome? Very!

Bad Brains Rocks Off Cruise - 6/25/06

I photographed Bad Brains on a boat last night for Pitchfork. Check out my photos here.

More to come later this week.

Superchunk/Oakley Hall/+/- @ McCarren Park Pool - 6/24/07

Today was the first day of the summer Pool Party series put on by the awesome Jelly NYC. I am way too tired/sun burnt to do a full write up, so just check out my photos up on flickr here. Next weeks lineup is awesome, so don't miss it!

Fucked Up/Career Suicide/Dustheads @ Club Europa - Brooklyn, NYC - 6/22/07

This show ruled, but the security was lame. I interview Damian, the lead singer of Fucked Up, so expect to see that on PastePunk.com in the coming days.

Panda Bear/Rusty Santos/Kria Brekken @ Bowery Ballroom - NYC - 6/18/07

The show was OK. It was great to hear "Comfort in Nautica" and some other great tracks from Person Pitch on a giant sound system. But the video projection wasn't that interesting and Noah Lennox just kind of stood behind his equipment and didn't move too much. It all sounded great, but it felt like I was just listening to the CD at home with trippier visuals. Maybe I had myself too hyped up for the show, but I was slightly disappointed.

Busy week

I shot Pig Destroyer for Skyscraper Magazine (along with Genghis Tron and Carbomb) last night at Club Europa, so expect those photos up later tonight. I will be photographing Panda Bear (of Animal Collective) at Bowery Ballroom tomorrow, Mewithoutyou/Piebald/Manchester Orhcestra/The Snake, The Cross, the Crown @ Highline Ballroom on Tuesday and photographing/interviewing Fucked Up for Paste Punk on Friday night.

Get psyched, I know I am.

Bang On A Can Marathon @ World Financial Center - 6/2 & 3 - part 2

I finally put up the rest of the photos from the Bang On A Can Marathon held last week. There are 138 photos of tons of bands/people/things to look at.

Check them out at flickr.

Sorry

It's been a slow week and I've been busy working or actually relaxing for once. I haven't been to a show since Bang On A Can and my next one is this Saturday where I am shooting Pig Destroyer for Skyscraper Magazine. I'm going to start going through the Bang On A Can photos tonight and will hopefully have them up by the weekend (there are like 400 of them so it's a little overwhelming).

Bang On A Can Marathon - World Financial Center - 6/2 & 6/3

I photographed the Bang On A Can Marathon for Pitchfork this weekend. 26 hours of music (I only missed like 5-6 hours) in the gorgeous World Financial Center, located right on the water. I saw some incredible performances of music that I would have never otherwise listened to and got to meet/talk to some very cool people, which is always a plus. TONS of photos coming this week from the show, but for now check out my picture of Yo La Tengo, The Books, Dalek, Clogs, and Juana Molina that I shot for Pitchfork here.

Animal Collective - South Street Seaport - NYC - 6/1/07
