This is the third time I’ve shot Cavalry, and each time they get better and better.  Really, I don’t know what else to say.  I see so many bands, that it’s hard to keep my attention, but they definitely do.

They’re releasing their debut CD with a CD release show at Debonair on August 13th, so if you’re in Chicago, you need to go.  You have no reason not to – the show is free. Check their Myspace for more details. (more…)

Today is the last day of Frantic week, and while it’s a little sad, it’s also awesome, because I get to give stuff away today!

Without further ado, the winners are….

Allyson for the 8×10 print and Andy for the CD – congrats, guys! You should have emails in your inbox with further info.

Thanks to everyone to participated. It was a great to see how many people loved The Frantic, and I’ll try to have more giveaways like this with other bands as it comes up!

This post came about randomly. As all concert photographers do, I take a lot more pictures than I post.  I generally try to cull images down to a handful of the best shots of each performer, so I have a nice mix that is representative of the band.  Well, as I was going through my shots from Summerfest and House of Blues, I had a hard time of getting rid of pictures of Brett.  It seemed that in each one, he was making a face, especially in the Summerfest pictures.  And not just a “drummer face” but a face.  Even backstage at House of Blues.

I realized that these faces needed their own blog time, as a tribute to the very energetic Brett :) (more…)

It’s day three of Frantic week… don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post, because I’m giving away a CD and a (signed!) 8×10 print!

This set is a continuation of the backstage Frantic photos I posted a while ago. Up until Summerfest, this was the longest set I had seem The Frantic play. The best part? I got to hear lots of new songs that I hadn’t heard before. I can’t wait for the next album! (more…)

Q: What does Brett love?
A: His CD, for sure. I also know he happens to like 8×10s of my photos. So, let’s have a giveaway!

I have an extra Frantic CD to give away, but I know some awesome people already have the CD, so for those that have the CD, I’ll also give away an 8×10 of any of my Frantic photos – winner’s choice. (more…)
