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.

I was sort of waiting to write up this latest blog post once my new site launched, but I’m still coding it and trying to get everything in order. So in the meantime, I might as well post something. Flogging Molly’s show was great and a lot to shoot. FM always deliver the goods when it comes to their live show, and I’m very happy with the photos I got.

Frank Turner was the second act for the Flogging Molly show at Hammerstein Ballroom. Frank delivered a great set filled with folk punk anthems that got the crowd moving, clapping, and singing along. I never saw Frank Turner before and glad to finally have seen his live act!

The Cranberries have reunited, and it’s about time too! I bought tickets to their New York City show last month but I was hoping I was going to get a photo pass. I tried and I tried, e-mail a ton of people seeing if they wanted coverage. Nada. I decided to try for myself last minute (i.e. 3pm day of the show) and at 5pm I had a photo pass!
