Band of Horses, Tom Morello, and BRMC strip down for Pablove

The Pablove Foundation has found a pretty hip way to raise money for kids with cancer by throwing benefit concerts with talent like Silversun Pickups, Neon Indian, Peter, Bjorn and John, and Avi Buffalo. Most of the performers have had to deal with cancer in their own way within their families or close by, a thing which is probably not to difficult to find anymore.

While Saturday’s concert featured bands like Band of Horses, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Tom Morello and Sea Wolf, the night was overshadowed by the tone, and the reason we were all there, overshadowed the music. If you were expecting to see a high energy rock and roll show, the majority of what you got couldn’t have been farther off. This was a place where all acts stripped down – Not to their skimmies, but to the bare bones, unplugged, overly aware, and a little self-conscious.

The Water is Muddy, the Wolf is Howlin, the Belly is Led, the Heat is Canned

Reminding myself that I am writing in a blog that represents me as a photographer, I think I should talk about f-stops, shutter speeds, and how ASA changed to ISO…

But instead I am going to show you a picture of my Lawyer, Michael Goch, Esq., circa Long Beach Blues Festival ‘08. He was there in observance in case I got hurt on any scaffolding or trip-wires.

Michael Goch, Esq.

That’s all for now, hoping something more related next time.

Anyone know where I can find a headdress? I’ve got a shoot coming up.

The drums, the drums, the drums

View more photos in the “White Rabbits, Local Natives @ El Rey” slideshow.

Rock and roll sextet White Rabbits are on their Fall tour with eccentric duo Glass Ghost. Last night both Brooklyn groups were joined by LA’s own Local Natives at the El Rey. The result: one of the best performances we’ve seen lately at that venue or elsewhere.

There were 8 drummers across three bands in total, with keys, vox pedals, and approximately 100 million decibels (give or take a few) across dexterous polyphonic sound waves. From the sound and pressure of the thing, we were in Heaven.
