Wilco visited the Paramount Theatre to a full house Wednesday, sold out standing room only crowd… It was fun, it was crowded, even in a full up photo pit amongst 9 or so photogs…it was a bit mad – I lost my photo pass before they even came on…thankfully I am acquainted with the security at [...] I started looking back on this year, particularly regarding shooting shows, and realized it’s been a landmark year! What had been a passion of intense interest, blossomed. To be succint, this year I started shooting shows more regularly for 2 online music sites – in March, I became a contributing photographer for LiveDaily.com, and in [...] The Deck the Hall Ball, rather, the yearly 107.7 The End (KNDD) alternative Seattle music station mainstay big ass concert come holiday extravaganza…this year, it was a great show. Visual Highlights were probably provided by all the of the crowd interaction between the two bands, Phoenix, and 30 Seconds to Mars, via their leads… The latter, [...] The name needs no further creative intro… They were the first opener for the Sounds ahead of Semi Precious Weapons at the Showbox here in Seattle this past October 27th… A quirky fun group, full of humor and energy…and having the absolute best time on stage. I shot both the opening sets(didn’t shoot the Sounds – [...] Gorgeous color…Mika came to the Moore, danced (on a broken foot, braced) and whirled, and enthusiastically gave to the crowd until there was nothing more…It was a *spectacular, spectacle* of balloons, lights and a party on stage… Take a look… Gallery Spotlight on LiveDaily.com – http://www.livedaily.com/news/mika-gallery-spotlight-seattle-wa-oct-26-2009-20533.html flickr slideshow – http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/sets/72157622568724251/show/ For more on Mika Train…the band… Last Tuesday, the night before I escaped for a week, I got to see, and photograph the band as they kick off their tour, supporting their new CD – Save Me San Francisco…Sounded great, looked great…was a great shoot. You never would have known, had they not told us, how sick Pat was…he [...] They blew into town…like the reigning kings of the “it” music genre…the “Monsters of Folk” as they have branded themselves – Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis… They filled the Paramount Theatre, October 15th with their unique and powerfully heart felt musical stylings, illustrated by the vibrant colors you see here…it [...] …with Nick Lowe…double bill, but Nick was more the 50 min set opener… Very fun, his set…my favorite part was the song that referenced “Rick Astley” who had a hit that was kind of “ghastly” lmao…the crowd, a bunch of latter day gen Xers, etc…totally got the reference. Perhaps the oddest thing about the show this night, [...] LOL…the “Swinging” Lovehammers (LH)…whilst doing some background reading while perusing my images from last weeks show, I found out the LH used to be known as the “Swinging Lovehammers”…….LOVE IT…maybe they should revisit???? lol…it makes me grin… Anywho, I spent this last weekend down in LaLa-land, aka Los Angeles, specifically in West Hollywood, with a [...] Juke Kartel that band from down under(read Australia) led by the popular vote getter from the 2006 season of Rock Star Supernova, Toby Rand……..
