Black Rebel Motorcycle Club To Tour U.S. In Spring

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club will head back out on the road for a short American tour in the spring. I am very happy that they are using a photo I took of them this past October for the bands tour print and website ad.(photo at left) I will be photographing them again on one or more dates. If you haven't purchased the album, Baby 81 or the Ep, American X: Baby 81 Sessions--I highly recommend them both.

One of the hardest working bands out on tour lately, a staggering 171 concerts played in 2007! B.R.M.C. always give it their all playing long sets, excellent stage shows and touring relentlessly gaining more fans with each concert. B.R.M.C. have released four albums and four Ep's since 2001 and several singles.
They put out a lot of power for a three piece band.

Masterpiece: No Country For Old Men

I was mesmerized by this movie. It is hard to go and see a film these days and love every single second and frame. This is no ordinary thriller. From the first few minutes you know this is going to be a special movie. Based on the book of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, the story revolves around three central characters, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) and Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), criss crossing west Texas in a cat and mouse game involving mexican drug dealers, stolen money, a psychotic hit man and a sheriff on his way to retirement. The very beginning of the film sets the tone, with a wide shot of the Texas wilderness. The deliberate pace of the movie was another thing I really liked, it wasn't slow but filled with tension. The lack of back round music added to the omninus tone. It doesn't give the audience cues when to feel a certain emotion. You could hear everything going on as far as the gunshots, footsteps down the hall, doors closing, phones ringing. It added to the stillness and anticipation of moments to come. My favorite character was Anton. Javier Bardem will get an Oscar for this role for sure. He plays a hit man with an odd sense of fair play. He has no real morals and bases many of his decisions on chance. The man is the grim reaper with a strange haircut and sinister voice...completely terrifying. If you haven't seen it go see it. It will be coming out on dvd in March. This might be the Coen brothers finest film.
