The Ragbirds – The High Noon Saloon
The first time I had ever heard of The Ragbirds was last August when they played the High Noon. It was such a fun show that I requested to shoot this show as soon as I heard they were coming back.
They’re quite a fun band to shoot and they’ve got a lot of energy.
Hank III…a teaser
This was my first time seeing Hank III. Quite a fun show. Great lighting, great crowd, and just a lot of fun to shoot. Full set and small review will be coming soon.
Anthrax – The Congress Theater
After the Grand Rapids show, I ended up driving to Chicago to crash at my brother’s place. I was awake much too soon Saturday morning. After backing up my photos from the previous night’s show, I packed the gear and headed to the venue for the M&G.
We had a bigger crowd for the M&G in Chicago than we did in Grand Rapids so we couldn’t hold it on the bus. Instead, the folks got to sit in on the soundcheck. They got their own, private three song set. Afterwards they got to meet the band, get photos with the guys, and get all their shwag signed.
After the M&G it was off for a quick bit to eat before show time. Lighting for this show was quite a bit better than Grand Rapids, but still not great.
The two days I spent with the guys was a lot of fun, but I was happy to be going back home the next morning. I’m looking forward to doing it all again in November though.
Anthrax…a teaser
I just got back this afternoon from spending two days with the amazing Anthrax. The guys started up the tour in support of their new album Worship Music on October 14th in Grand Rapids MI. The show (from this fanboy’s perspective anyway) was nothing short of awesome.
