Treaty of Paris Recording

Treaty of Paris is recording their new album,which I’m very excited about. Even better, they’re recording it with my Last Fast Action buddies in LFA’s studio – Audioisking. One day after work, I dropped by the studio to take a few shots and hang out and listen to some of the new stuff. These shots are the result. (more…)

Paramore @ House of Blues

I won’t be able to post the rest of the set for a while (sad, I know), so I thought I’d put just one out there.

Long story, but I was only able to shoot about a song and a half of this set – It was sad. Luckily, they’re a great band to photograph, and I still think I got some good shots!

Go check it out!

Reel Big Fish @ Summerfest

Reel Big Fish should change their name to “Too Much Fun.” This was the last set I shot at Summerfest, and despite being tired and cranky after a long hot weekend, I had a lot of fun. I’m not really a ska fan, but the energy of both the crowd and the band was infectious. (more…)

Wolfgang Schaefer @ Subterranean

Wolfgang Schaefer opened up the Snowsera/We The Living show at Subterranean. Not knowing a thing about Wolfgang Schaefer before he took the stage (aside from the fact that he had a cool name), I was pretty impressed. A singer-songwriter, it was just him and his guitar onstage. His songs were good, his voice was great, and he had a fantastic stage personality. At one point, someone yelled for “Freebird” (they always do), and Wolfgang threatened to play the whole thing, but to do the guitar solo vocally. It was a vicious threat. (more…)
