The Maiden Voyage of Bruise Cruise (Miami to Nassau, Bahamas)

I went on the maiden voyage of Bruise Cruise, a rock and roll adventure from Miami to Nassau Bahamas and back! Black Lips, Vivian Girls, Surfer Blood, Turbo Fruits, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Jacuzzi Boys, Quintron and Miss Pussycat played. Ian Svenonius performed MC duties throughout the fest. I was shooting for Sup Magazine, so you'll see more pics when the feature comes out. But for now, here are some gnarly legs and Cole from Black Lips catching air.

GWAR at Music Hall of Williamsburg

As my fellow photographer Gabi Porter says, shooting GWAR should be an item on every concert photographer's bucket list. Just bring a poncho (thought that didn't help that much) and waterproof your gear. More of my photos at House List.

I was shooting with Gabi and Chris La Putt; Gabi's set is at Metromix and Chris's set is at Brooklyn Vegan.

Baths / Braids at Mercury Lounge

More photos of Braids (and words by Aaron Stein) at House List.

Chromeo at Terminal 5

Check out more photos at House List.

Wavves and Best Coast at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Wavves and Best Coast co-headlined and sold out Music Hall of Williamsburg (and Webster Hall the day before). I really can't wait for my Bahamas cruise after this double dose of fun, sunny rock. A couple of more photos at House List.

It's Live!

My website is live! Click here! There will be some tweaks here and there, but it's there! This blog will still be here for all my post-concert ramblings (and the occasional photo from the archives). Much thanks to my buddy James for the work.

From the Vault: The Decemberists

A photo from Terminal 5 from last year that I've never posted... I thought I should share this because the Decemberists just got #1 on the Billboard charts! (And then I remembered this photo because I had found it a few days ago while sifting through archives for images for my upcoming, proper website.) (View larger here.)

Tokyo Police Club and Two Door Cinema Club at Terminal 5

This is a strange coincidence: the first time I saw Tokyo Police Club was during Coachella 2007, and this very weekend, it turns out I'm going to Coachella this year. Anyway.

More photos (and words by Geoff) at House List. Even more photos on Flickr!

The Vaccines at Bowery Ballroom

Newest band out of the U.K. I hate the word "hype," so check out the band for yourself by watching a clip from Later... with Jools Holland below. See a few more pics on House List.

Rural Alberta Advantage at Mercury Lounge

And the first concert of the year goes to... Rural Alberta Advantage! I need to apologize to the drummer for momentarily blocking him from exiting the stage during the encore for the acoustic finale in the crowd (below); I thought the band was just doing quick step-in-and-out-of-the-crowd thing a la Win Butler. Anyway, I might have to check them out again when they return to New York in March? There are some more photos on Flickr, and some on House List.
