DISAPPEARS: Loud Loop Press & ALARM Press.

Portraits of Disappears for Loud Loop Press Take Five interview. These portraits were shot at Empty Bottle right after their soundcheck. They also blew away a SOLD OUT crowd later that night. Here are some of my faves taken for ALARM Press. Thanks to Richard, Kyle, and Brian for makin' it all happen.

Was so excited when I saw this at their show a couple weeks ago.
This was shot in the alley at Park West in Chicago.
I still can't believe I photographed these guys.
BIG thanks to Stephen at Second Motion.
