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.
