The Cars reunited and toured earlier this Spring (yes, its photo set catch up time here on FB) and I was lucky enough to shoot the show for Brooklynvegan. Though I was young during the band's most successful period, I always loved the Cars and was glad I could see them live. The hits sounded awesome, the new songs okay. You can see all of the photos on BV here.
Brooklynvegan finally posted my photos of Old 97s set from his SXSW Friday Day showcase at Barbarella back in March. You can see the whole set here.
All I know is, Dirty Beaches is striking live. I caught the early set at Mercury Lounge last night, my photos are up on Brooklynvegan.com here.
A long time ago, like waaaay before SXSW, I shot one of my favorite concerts of recent memory: Middle Brother (members of Dawes, Deer Tick, and Delta Spirit), Deer Tick, and Dawes all at the Bowery Ballroom. I know, really. My photos finally were posted to Brooklynvegan.com here and are now being linked up to on FreshBread. It makes sense.
stream a recent Middle Brother show on NPR here. Do it.
I wrote a recap of the music uses in this year's Super Bowl commercials for BrooklynVegan. You can see the full article here.

Earlier this year I couldn't stop listening to Freelance Whales' debut album Weathervanes. The performed a "surprise" gig on the Bedford L-stop platform in Williamsburg - my photos were posted on Brooklynvegan.com here.
Die Antwoord played their first ever NYC show back in June as a part of the Vice/Intel Creator's Project. So far, its my show of the year. It was absolutely incredible, the energy of the band equalled by the hot, sweaty, and packed crowd. My photos were posted on Brooklynvegan.com here.
Beauty Feast played their first show at the Mercury Lounge back in August. On the bill were Memory Tapes, Twin Sister, and Oberhofer. My Oberhoffer and Twin Sister photos were posted on Brooklynvegan.com.
I've really been digging this band since I heard this song back in May. Hoping their debut EP comes out sometime soon.

The Morning Benders played a show at the end of February at Housing Works here in the city. A few of my photos from that show went up on Brooklyn Vegan, you can see them here.
