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!

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.
