World War IX at Trash Bar
They're not dead and gone after all! World War IX fell apart a few months back, but they have returned with a couple of new members and they still kick ass.

Royal Baths at Death By Audio
Remember what I said about Death By Audio being too dark? These guys turned off some of the stage lights. Okay granted, the darkness did complement their heavy and hypnotic music. Sure made my job harder though!

Hunters at Death By Audio
As you can faintly see Death By Audio is one of the most poorly lit venues in Brooklyn, though on this occasion stage right was not too bad. Hunters singer/guitarist Isabel tended towards stage right (and is nearly as reflective as a mirror) so she was relatively easy to photograph. I assure you that the other Hunters were doing things too and in fact the performance was quite energetic. Certainly the lighting did not interfere with my enjoyment of Hunters's crunchy, guitar-heavy pop.

Andre Williams at Brooklyn Bowl
I chose not to post these photos originally because I was a bit disappointed by the performance. The first, or "Zoot Suit", half of the set was brillant. Unfortunately the show lost momentum going into the second, or "Lounge Jacket" half of the set. But dang, Andre Williams sure looked stylin', didn't he? These photos are just too pretty not to post.

WLWL at Don Pedro
I was not able to photograph WLWL last night at the benefit concert for drummer Florian, who has spent the past year recovering from a severe illness. He is still partially paralyzed. Hell, now that bassist Rico has to leave the band is falling apart! I am really, truly pissed off that I couldn't get photos at the benefit show. So instead here are some older photos of the band from last year with him behind the kit. Their live show is really something special, so enjoy!
