I had the pleasure of shooting the Fratellis show for Prefixmag.com last Friday and I got some good shots of the Scottish rock band. Their new album “Here We Stand” is out now on Interscope Records and think it’s pretty good. It took me a few listens to really like it, and seeing the songs played live made me like the album even more. It was nice to finally hear songs from their first album as well.

Airborne Toxic Event opened up for The Fratellis last Friday at Webster Hall in New York City. I didn’t know what to expect from the band but after their set, I became a fan. It’s hard to describe their sound but I guess it’s considered indie rock? Their live show is very energetic and it was never boring to me. For this show, I was shooting for Prefixmag.com and I thought I got some great shots of both Airborne Toxic Event and The Fratellis.

I shot the Fratellis and Airborne Toxic Event at Webster Hall for Prefixmag.com Friday night. It was my first non-ReadJunk.com/SkaPunkPhotos.com assignment and it went really well. A lot of my photos are currently on prefix mag’s website here. I’ll have a lot of the photos on here this week, along with a show write-up but for now, please visit Prefixmag.com for all the photos from the show.

She and Him (Featuring Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward) canceled their first night at Hiro Ballroom April 21st due to “sickness” (Zooey lost her voice). Instead of move the first show to a later date, the promoters decided to just combine both shows and move it to Webster Hall. The club was a lot bigger than Hiro Ballroom so it made sense, considering how fast the tickets sold out. I couldn’t believe the tickets sold out in a matter of minutes. I just never go to shows like that; I usually can get tickets a few days before the show.

Ola Podrida was the opening band at the She and Him show at Webster Hall. The band hails from Brooklyn and has a indie/folk rock sound. They were originally supposed to open for the 2^nd night for She and Him at Hiro Ballroom. Since the first show got canceled, they ended up playing the second night anyway. I think I would appreciate Ola Podrida’s music on album more than I do live. It was hard to hear the singing but that might have been the sound system at Webster Hall. Maybe he’s just a quiet talker? Musically, they were good; just not the most exciting band to see live.
