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.
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.

Fu Manchu, and Eyehategod
Last night had some good shows going on for the kickoff of Fun Fun Fun Fest, I went to a few of them and came back with some shots of two bands. Both super loud and heavy bands, I loved it… Fu Manchu at Red 7, and Eyehategod at Emo’s. Here are two of my favorites from last night, to see the rest check out my Flickr account, and/or purchase a print here!

Now that was a lot of FUN!
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.
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
