Copeland – The El Rey

I randomly found Copelands latest album on iTunes, and after a listen through, I was amazed. Such a different sound to the alternative genre that has come to sound so similar. I took photos for them last summer at the HOB Anaheim and I was very excited for the next time they came around LA.

Unfortunately, this tour is their last. They are breaking up and doing one last fair well tour. Sadness. They were a fantastic band and I think their latest album is their best so they are ending on the top.

None the less, they gave an amazing performance and I feel honored to be able to have shot their last show as a band in LA.

You can view the photos at high res or buy prints over at my smugmug.

Enjoy.

Moe. – Club Nokia

It is not every concert that you go to that a band can go on at 9 and jam till 1 AM. That is Moe. They just jam. They are all just fantastic musicians and they all work so well together. There needs to be more bands out there that are like them. They just play music, a nice breath of fresh air.

This was one of those classic concerts that there was literally no lights on for the first 3 songs, and right as I put my camera away the lights went crazy. A bit frustrating but there is some pretty sweet shots still.

You can check out high res/buy prints at my smugmug.

Enjoy.

As Tall As Lions – Club Nokia

As Tall As Lions were awesome. They did a great job and everyone loved them. They seemed very tight and well rehearsed.

The bass player was one of the most animated bassists I have ever seen in my life, and as you will tell by the photos, he dominates a lot of them.

I had a great time and Club Nokia continues to amaze me on its greatness as a venue.
