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.
For the third year running I have been able to make it to lovely Austin for SXSW Music Festival. Spent the first night at Club De Ville for the Brooklyn Vegan official showcase. Gotta say, the first band I saw completely caught me off guard in such a great way. Dawes were so good, it was my first set seen but quite possibly the best one I saw all week. See the full gallery here.
