Anvil
Last night Anvil played a great show at Emos, I was there to document the night for both Austinist, and Emos. I had a great time at the show, got some nice photos, and watched a very happy man with a huge smile on his face play some metal for the venue full of fans.
The complete set can be viewed HERE, and buy a print of your favorite photo while your at it.
Hope Con + Agnostic Front
Last night there were two great shows in Austin for the kids into punk/hardcore: Hope Conspiracy, Bitter End, Eight Fifteen, and Power Trip @ Emos // and right after that was Agnostic Front at Red 7.
I spent most of the night at Emo’s, then walked over for a few songs by Agnostic Front, definitely worth the late night.
Below are some of my favorites, but you can see them all and buy a print HERE and HERE.

Free Week at Red 7
Here is the first installment of my 3 part post updates for the day. After Fun Fun Fun Fest I took a little preemptive break from shows in order to keep myself from becoming jaded of concerts. That month passed and the first day of the new year came, so did free week. The only show I was able to make it to was the first night at Red 7: Naw Dude, Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder, Iron Age, and Pack of Wolves. I just missed Naw Dude, sorry Doug.
Here are some of my favorites from the show, and go here to purchase a print.

Die Youngs Last show
Texas Hardcore legends Die Young played their last show this past saturday after 7 years. It was great photographing this band over the past couple of years, and I’m sure there will be other projects in the near future from the guys in the band. They ended it with a 8 band show in the bands home town of Houston, TX at Walters on Washington. I took close to 2000 photos that evening, and edited them down heavily, due to the amount I’m going to show some favorites from the last two bands, and the rest can be viewed on my Photoshelter account here.
The lineup was:
The Separation
Legion
Mammoth Grinder
The Golden Age
Dead City
Folsom
Seven Generations
Diy Young
Die Young
Seven Generations
Who is also about to play their last show, I was glad to see this band once before they ended it. Their set reminded me why I got into and love Hardcore Punk music. I could feel the raw energy this band put off with such emotion during the whole set, and tried to capture it as best as I could.
Info on the lighting used:
The venue was super dark, a bit to dark fro the D700 even, and to capture enough detail from the show I had to light it. Instead of using the small pop-up flash attached to my camera, or a larger strobe attached to the hotshoe I instead put up two Nikon SB-25’s triggered wirelessly with cybersyncs. First one was stage left and all the way to the back behind the gear, it was gelled with a 1/2 CTO. Second was stage right and just off the stage at the front corner up against a pillar out of the way from the crowd and safe, it was gelled with a full CTO.
Tigercity
Shot something a little different from the usual punk rock shows I end up at last night, turns out I came home with some great photographs, and some catchy tunes stuck in my head on my nice ride home at about 12:30 last night. It was a pleasure listening to and shooting something different/new for a change, I hope to be around for some more tunes like this in the future. A local band called Speak started the show, then Royal Bangs from Tennessee, and ending the night with Tigercity from NY.
Enjoy a few of my favorite pictures from the night right below, it was shot for Austinist, and everything from the night is available right here on my photoshelter account.
Motörhead
Last night was pretty rad, I had the chance to take some photos of Motörhead live here in Austin, TX at Stubbs BBQ, also Reverend Horton Heat. I missed out on the first band that played (Nashville Pussy) due to the show actually starting early which is pretty rare here in town. I showed up right after the other photographers got the boot from the press pit, so I missed out on taking any photos of them, and don’t get me started on my opinions to the 3 song rule. The show was great, and Motörhead was super loud, so glad I remembered my ear plugs. I covered this for the Austinist, so be sure to go check out my set on the Austinist website and the other good they have for any Austinite. As well as prints are available right here as usual.
Heres some of my favorites:
The Sword
Last night The Sword played here at The Mohawk for a sold out show, Pack of Wolves, and Ratking started the night off and the evening was filled full of heavy riffs, awesome stage lights, and smoke machines! My photos from this concert were featured on the Austinist website, please check it out and show them some support. Great people!
Go here see them all, and purchase a print!
Pack Of Wolves
Gig Life in Austin, TX
This past Thursday night the Gig Life tour rolled through town and played at Emos, I’ve known the guys in Set Your Goals for a few years now so I went out and made some photographs of the bands performances that night. I got there a bit late and missed the first band that went on, Drive A. After that I stood up on stage and poured out sweat, and clicked that shutter button in this Texas heat.
Here are some of my favorites from the night, and go here if you would like to see the rest and purchase a print from the show.
Fireworks
Polar Bear Club
Four Year Strong
Set Your Goals
The Germs
Germs put on a great show, if you don’t know who they are then google them, but then again, if you don’t know who they are there is a good chance you wont like them. Shane West portrayed the singer Darby Crash in the movie “What we do is Secret”, Shane has also played in quite a few hollywood hits, and TV series, such as ER. I definitely recommend the movie if you wanna find out about this band, or are just a fan. The show was great and Shane did a great job at vocals, I was definitely impressed. Another awesome thing was standing within feet from Pat Smear, who was the original guitarist for the Germs but also toured with Nirvana, and original guitar for Foo Fighters, pretty awesome. A few other great bands performed before them, Guilt Trip, Coptic Times, and Krum Bums… AND Mr. Lifto, which was a sight to be seen, definitely look him up if you haven’t heard of him before.
Now, for the pictures… enjoy!
Guilt Trip
Coptic Times
Mr. Lifto

Corpus Christi Benefit
I made a trip down to Corpus with Coptic Times and Hold Fast for a benefit show to help out the families of a recent car wreck cause by a drunk driver. 1 life was lost, and another still stuck in the hospital, R.I.P. Cris Issac. It was awesome to see how a small group of hardcore kids around Texas came together for this show and to benefit the families, over $1,000 was raised from this first set of shows around Texas.
Here are a few photos I managed to grab, all with my 35mm ƒ2 lens attached to my D700, what is slowly becoming my favorite setup. I kept this show simple with just the camera and no lights setup like I have been playing around with a few shows back, I’ve really been enjoying the low light capabilities of the D700.
The Golden Age
Killer Ape
Sudden Death
Some new Straight Edge band from Dallas area that doesnt have a name yet?
Coptic Times
Bitter End
and the much anticipated HoldxFast reunion show
The rest of the pictures can be viewed here, as well as if you purchase a print from this set the proceeds will be donated to the families.
