Moving the site

I've decided to move the site to a different host for a totally unnecessary reason.

That's what I do.
unnessary things.

see you there.

The Horrors at Studio B 031106


more here
this was part of the Product Shop NYC showcase during the CMJ.

It was at Studio B in Brooklyn, yes people who know me, BROOKLYN.

The Horrors' set was extremely hard to photograph as there was barely any light, at least that's my excuse.

I couldn't get my camera focused and the nerd side of me kicked in as they kept on throwing photogenic moments in my face.

One of the pictures shows two security guys on the side of the stage and this is the story: The leadsinger, Faris started to rip off the metal fence thing(whatever the technical term is) on the side as soon as he came onstage.

The management promptly sent two security guards to stand there (walking across the stage in the middle of a song) and guard the place haha.

Then Faris started to swing his mikestand-away from the audience that is, and as soon as he put it down,
the security guard took THAT away as well.
I love people.
and my writing is so not dry whatsoever. nope.

New York Dolls at CBGB 280306


more here
I know that it's been awhile(just in time for another NYD gig in two weeks!) since these photos were taken but better late than never.
I was fond of CBGB's not only because of its significance in NY punk movement but also because of its superb stage layout and sound quality..which is a really rare thing to come across even in New York where it has a vast number of venues...

this was my second to last CBGB's gig so more to come later.

after the set, I was running to the west side to catch Sam Roberts Band's set when some people stopped me to say hello.
I told them that I was in rush to catch my main Canadian boys' set 12879878975 miles away(seriously, why is that venue so far away) & they asked me if they are any good.
I of course started to babble on how amazing they are live,
then they asked,
"Better than The Datsuns?"
It completely baffled me.
They are both amazing live bands with very different vibes,
so I couldn't really compare them..but my point is, The Datsuns is the epitome of great live bands.
yep yep.
and yes, I'm fully aware of the fact that it's been three months since SXSW 2006.

Sam Roberts Band at Maxwell's 120606

you see,
their sets are what I look for in gigs: something that transcends everything.
It doesn't matter what I have to do two seconds after the gig ends,
it doesn't matter what I did before I stepped into the venue,
no.
not even who I am mattered.

what mattered was the "now,"
what I was witnessing at the moment,
what I was hearing at the moment,
making you forget about anything else.

I meant to keep this blog free of personal opinions about certain gigs.
you know, to keep it professional.
Then I realized how unprofessional I am(naturally).
so just letting everyone know,
this gig was fucking awesome.
amazing band at a fantastic venue.
My sloppy shots don't do justice,
and to give a pathetic excuse,
I was too busy "dancing."
that is all.
