Over a year ago, I did a post on some concert photographers I admire, and while I still adore each and every one of them, I think it’s high time for a part two. I like all of these photographers for different reasons, and all of their work is very different. Each has something that makes them stand out above the rest for me. These are some of the people that make me excited to check my RSS feed.
I titled this “The Frantic,” but it was really just singer Kyle Dee recording vocals.
I had been trying to get over to Audio Is King for several weeks now to crash a recording session, but with doing concert photography, wedding/portrait photography, and working a full-time job on top of that, my schedule is jam packed. Luckily, Augie texted to tell me that they were recording on a rare day where I had no solid plans, so we (my hubby and I) were able to stop by for a little while. I’m so glad we did. I missed all involved terribly. We must do it again soon.
By the way Frantic fans, I got to hear an almost completed song, and it was amazing. You’re in for a treat when this record is done. For those that don’t know of the Frantic, check them out, they’re lots of fun.
Had a wonderful time with The Frantic at JBTV tonight. Just a few pictures from the set that make me laugh…. more soon!
With things being busy with both the day job and with wedding season (hey, shameless plug – I shoot weddings too!), I haven’t been able to go to as many concerts lately as I would like to, so I was very excited when I was able to attend the AM Taxi taping at JBTV. I love both AM Taxi and JBTV, so I felt like I was making the most of my rare free time! And what a show it was, it was loud, and sweaty, full of friends, and wonderfully fun, just like a good concert should be.
Oh, and another exciting thing? AM Taxi’s first record on Virgin is coming out in less than a month (and available for pre-order now here). This episode of JBTV will air slightly after the record release date.
And as always, I highly recommend JBTV, they always have great acts on, with a mix of exclusive interviews and live performances. If you’re in Chicago, JBTV is on Wednesdays at 11 on WJYS 62. If you’re not in the area, the shows are on iTunes and on JBTV’s website soon after airing.
I had been wanting to see Paramore for a while by the time I finally was able to…. and I was not disappointed. They’re just a fun band that you can’t help but sing along to.
A fun little tidbit from the show: The House of Blues stage is actually several floors up in the building (which is on the riverfront), so when the large crowd starts jumping, the floor literally starts moving. I have shot countless shows at House of Blues and have witnessed the floor moving several times… this was the first time that I was actually worried it was going to cave. No one can say that Paramore doesn’t get their fans excited and jumping.
