King Tuff at The Knitting Factory
I was not expecting a mosh pit at this particular show, but some of the audience was really drunk. To be more specific, two small women who were occasionally joined by their friends. It was actually kind of hilarious, and a good time was had by all.

O'Death at The Bell House
I would explain the band O'Death thusly: folk music + mosh pit. Yes, really. The play gothic folk with such energy that people actually start smashing into each other. Some willingly, some unwillingly.

Sweet Soubrette at Bowery Poetry Club
In the past they have been billed as "Sweet Soubrette and the Regrets". In this case it was Sweet Soubrette, the Regrets, the orchestra, the backup singers, the drummer's tag team partner, and the lead singer's brother (who was part of the evening's entertainment if not actually performing). Fortunately the stage at the Bowery Poetry Club is rated to support small armies like The Polyphonic Spree.

Hammered Satin at Bowery Electric
At first glance I thought that the lead singer of Hammered Satin looked like Iggy Pop. Upon examining the photos I now think he looks more like Rod Stewart. His friends call himself Roddy Pop (and he has not forgiven them). Anyhoo, if you want to see a band which knows how to party like it's 1973, here ya' go.

Sorceress at Bowery Electric
Despite the cold weather it was hot and sweaty on stage. Some of 'em got rid of their coats. As a photographer I would like to thank anyone who takes off their black coat. Nothing like shooting folks wearing black in a dark room. Trying to look good while rocking out must be a pain, but sometimes so it photographing people who are trying to look good while rocking out.
