The Foxx at The Rock Shop

Although this site is technically still on hiatus I figure I should post a few old photos which I never bothered to publish for whatever reason. The Foxx are a pop band with a hint of an edge. They were also the first band I ever photographed at The Rock Shop. The lighting there took a bit of getting used to so in my opinion the photos weren't great. Buuut there were a few which were decent... so here is a very sort photoset of The Foxx.

The Sadies at Brooklyn Bowl

Wow these guys are evil. They actually started on time (9pm). Fool me once... Anyway, it was well worth catching as much of their set as possible. The Sadies' style of rock-n-roll is infused with more than just country and folk "influences", but they didn't exactly absorb the mellow parts. They play with a fury, like they are planning to live out the lyrics of those murder ballads.

The Black Angels at South Street Seaport

Taking photos from the crowd at the South Street Seaport is no fun. I couldn't move at all and missed some important shots. Example: this band has a drummer. Now just being in the crowd and enjoying the music is kind of nice except for all the pushing and pummeling. Fortunately The Black Angels' heavy, slow and intense style focused the crowd on the music. Okay, there was a small mosh pit (which made no sense) but at least it stayed small.

CJ Ramone at The Studio at Webster Hall

How much needs to be said here? CJ is, in his own words, "keeping the spirit of the band alive" by performing an all-Ramones set (okay, except for one new tribute song). Whatever you think about that they sure sound good and the audience loved 'em.
