The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady --performing their "Heaven is Whenever Tour" at The Midland Theater on October 28th in Kansas City, MO. Craig Finn puts on a spastic story telling American rock n roll show. If you have seen them live you know what to expect, a first class show.

The Devil Wears Prada

Van's Warped Tour 2011 in Kansas City, in sweltering 105 degree heat. The annual Warped Tour came back to town, as usual I braved the elements to try and get some quality shots. Whats to say, you walk around go stage to stage and listen to bands. Some are better than others. I like going, just wish it was in October. Here is a little photo essay.

Social Distortion

Social Distortion still rocking it hard after all these years. Mike Ness is still strumming and sneering playing a mixture of old punk rock. Social D are always on tour it seems, yet they never disappoint.

Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine playing live in Kansas City, December 5th 2011. She has quite a beautiful voice and a real dramatic stage presence. It was nice to photograph a singer wearing a dress for once. Her red dress and red (orange) hair and green eyes were quite colorful. The audience was mesmerized by her performance.

The Dead Weather

The Dead Weather rocks and so does Alison Mosshart! I just love her and she is the ultimate front woman. She slithers and oozes sex appeal and being a badass. All of Jack White's side projects are interesting. Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence fill out the rest of this very professional band. These are some shots from the "Sea of Cowards" tour. I really enjoyed their set...now if I could only shoot The Kills :)
