Bad Manners opened up for English Beat again and I was just stoked to see them again (both bands really). The last time I saw Bad Manners perform at Irving Plaza, it was just incredible. The same can be said again! Buster Bloodvessel is a photographer’s dream!

Chris Murray was opening act for the English Beat/Bad Manners show last Saturday at Webster Hall in NYC. I haven’t seen him since 1996 but glad I finally got the chance to see Chris play his catchy acoustic ska music!

I’ve been waiting a long time to see the (almost) original lineup of the Specials perform. I knew it was only a matter of time before the legendary ska band from the UK would play over in the States. I wasn’t happy that the show was at Terminal 5 because I think that venue is one of the worst venues I’ve ever been in. Bad location, awful sight lines, crappy sound and it just makes for a miserable concert experience. But I tried to deal with that stuff and just have fun. I was on assignment for Prefixmag.com, where you might have seen my photos already.

After Jesse Malin’s performance, it was time for the main event at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza…it was time for Gogol Bordello! One of my all-time favorite acts to photograph. Once you see the photos below, you realize why I love to shoot Eugene Hutz and the rest of the band.

On March 9th, Jesse Malin & The St Mark’s Social opened up the Gogol Bordello show at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. I haven’t heard of Jesse Malin’s music before so it was nice to see him live. I liked his songs, and really enjoyed his brand new CD which comes out shortly on Side One Dummy. Shooting his set was a little difficult but I think I managed to get a few decent shots.
