My Chemical Romance

Slash

Slash and his band playing in Kansas City at the Sprint Center opening for Ozzy Osbourne. Slash's look never has changed he looks just about the same as Gun's and Rose's back in the day.
He is a damn fine guitarist and makes it look easy.

Deadmau5

Deadmau5 -- what more can you say, if you want to pull out your glowsticks and dance all night long this is the place to be! Here are some shots of the famous mouse headed DJ and the crowd.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

I haven't posted much on this blog in quite awhile so I'm going to add photos of some old concerts I've shot until I catch up. First up is Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings who I highly recommend for their high energy and great vocals.

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys live in concert. A few photos from one of the last American dates on the "Humbug" tour. This was my fifth time seeing the band live. I got a couple Polaroids of Alex Turner and Matt Helders before the show. I asked if I could get a group shot, but they called me paparazzi and said no. Oh well, they still put on another great show. I really enjoyed hearing the cover version Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand". Arctic Monkeys are one of my all time favourite bands and Alex is an incredible songwriter who has put out quite a bit of material in the last six years. I really enjoy their Ep's, always having interesting b- sides.

A Place To Bury Strangers/The Big Pink

Robbie Furze

The Big Pink was on tour with A Place To Bury Strangers as openers when they came through Lawrence Kansas and performed at The Bottleneck. I love APTBS and had only heard a few songs by The Big Pink but I was pleasantly surprised by their live set. First off APTBS melted everyone's faces off as openers playing songs from their most recent album, "Exploding Head". They are great guys and fun to drink with. The Big Pink was very impressive live, I almost preferred their raw live sound to their recorded album,"A Brief History Of Love". Out of all the concerts I've shot in 2010 this was my favourite so far. Both great live bands and very nice people.
