MINKS: Empty Bottle: 02/24/11.

Incredible show.

THE CHURCH: Park West: 02/11/11.

What an amazing night! The Church played three albums from start to finish with an intermission in between each record. They started with Untitled #23 then to Priest = Aura and finished with Starfish.
Many thanks to Stephen at Second Motion for an unforgettable night.

Album of the Month>>>>>>>>>>02/11.

Mogwai ~ Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will.

I've been into these guys since buying Ten Rapid at The Quaker Goes Deaf back in the 90's, and I have to say this is my favorite by one of the loudest bands on the planet.

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.
