Dropkick Murphys @ Starland Summer Campout, Sayreville NJ - 7.13.08

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I was suppose to shoot the Dropkick Murphys last August in Scranton, PA but there was a problem with the list. Which was pretty much the case this time around again. But thankfully things got worked out in time for me to shoot the Bosstones and Dropkicks. The Dropkick Murphys have gotten super popular since the last time I shot their set. Their music has appeared in the movie The Departed and pretty much everyone knows who they are now. I remember seeing DKM back when there was 4 members in the band. Now the group has 7 or 8 members. It’s interesting to see how a band evolves over the years. But the band certainly draws in an audience and they still have a great live show to boot!

Mighty Mighty Bosstones @ Starland Summer Campout, Sayreville NJ - 7.13.08

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

The last time I saw The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, it was about 8 years ago? Has it been that long?! I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw them but it definitely felt like they never left. The band came out in their signature ugly plaid suits, and I was even sporting an ugly plaid shirt as well. I was pumped to see the band again after all these years. This was the first time shooting the band, and thankfully got my photo pass 10 minutes before the band went on.

Rachid Taha @ Central Park SummerStage, NYC - 7.5.08

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

I first heard Rachid Taha on the Black Hawk Down soundtrack. I liked the song when I heard it but didn’t check him out any further at the time. Then I just kept happening to listen to the song “Barra Barra” over time and finally decided to get some of Rachid’s music. My favorites album are “Diwan” and “Diwan 2″ but I also love his cover of the Clash’s Rock The Casbah. Once I found out he was performing a free concert in Central Park, I knew I wanted to experience one of his shows. The day was rainy and humid but that didn’t stop the masses from seeing this French-Algerian Rai-Punk legend.

Dengue Fever @ Central Park SummerStage, NYC - 7.5.08

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Dengue Fever played second for the Rachid Taha concert at SummerStage. They mix Cambodian pop music with psychedelic rock. I’ve heard of their name a lot but never heard their music or seen them live until that day. I liked what I heard from their show and the crowd certainly liked their set as well.

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Apollo Heights were the opening band at the Rachid Taha concert at Central Park SummerStage in New York City last Saturday.  The event was free yet rainy at times. I never been to SummerStage before so it was cool to finally to have been there and shoot a concert there as well. Also, this concert was shot for Prefixmag.com.

Less Than Jake @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC - 6.26.08

The last time I saw Less Than Jake, it was last July and I believe it was on my 29th birthday or near it. LTJ have a brand new album called “GNV FLA” that just came out on their label Sleep It Off Records. The band were the last ones on the Shout It Loud Tour with Goldfinger and played an awesome set of old & new songs.

Goldfinger @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC - 6.26.08

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Goldfinger co-headlined the Shout It Loud tour with Less Than Jake and I had the pleasure of shooting them for the first time Thursday night. It’s been a good 3 or 4 years since I last saw the band play so it was good to see them again. Their newest album “Hello Destiny” is out now on Side One Dummy and it’s a great album!

Westbound Train @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC - 6.26.08

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Westbound Train hail from Boston and brought the ska & soul to the packed Roseland crowd Thursday night. I saw Westbound Train last year in Circleville, NY for the Big Orange Bonanza and liked their sound. While I think they play good music, I think it would have been better for them to open up the show. Suburban Legends were more energetic I guess but WT still got the crowd moving. (more…)

Asian Man Records Tour with The Queers @ Cafe Metropolis, Wilkes-Barre PA - 6.21.08

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Instead of doing a blog on each set of the bands for this tour, i’ll just write up one giant blog. Last year, the Queers played Cafe Metropolis in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This year, they came back with the rest of the bands from the Asian Man Records tour. The other bands on the tour included Kepi Ghoulie from the Groovie Ghoulies, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Bomb The Music Industry and Lemuria.
