Live Music Pics anyone ?¿?¿?¿

I used to shoot (for fun & free) for a local entertainment magazine here in town...lots of live music in Austin.

Most of the time it was small venues with relatively new or unknown acts (well to me anyway).

Though I did shoot a few big ones but not very often, The Used & 311 being the biggest.

Here's a few when I was just starting out

"Buttercup"

 

Does anyone go watch live music, outside of massive concerts?

Buttercup (2), Icons of Industry, Watch Them Die

Bc, IoI are local bands, WTD is a national band though, anyone ever hear of them??

 

Nope. Never heard of them, except from you. But your pics are cool, as always. Isn't there one that you used to use for your avatar? I remember it looked like the guy was eating his own hand....

 

Y, it was the WTD guy. I don't expct but maybe 8% of people to have heard of WTD die though, so I'll give you a pass on that one.

I had never heard fo them! But after the fact saw their tour advertised in a music mag though! I was like hey! I shot them!!

 

SHOT them??!?! I never knew you were so violent, Tim!

 

self defense! I thought he was going to get me!


kinda funny, I think the lead singer was my height or shorter! he was quite entertaining though!!

 

1) money shot for WTD, this one got printed in the magazine.

2) the used, funny thing is that some girl saw the pic on mysp, said the guy yelling with Bert is her friend!

last two are The Iguanas (from New Orleans I think)

 

Yeah, that's the one you had as your avatar. He looks scary! That's a lot of tattoos!

 

he was in tents for sure

perhaps even scarier was the girl in the crowd...gah I don't have that uploaded though

 

Local bands, Arakkis and Afterfive, Some pics I took.

 

, looks like fun...you mean you weren't mixing it up in the mini (mosh) pit there.

 

Nah that was the first metal show I had gone too, I was too scared

Just lately Ive started joining in

 

that's understandable, I was never one to do it myself!

2 more iguanas and Icons of Industry, (my first show)

 

I used to love the mosh pit! But that was back in my teens... I am boring now.

 

Awesome Picture I never into a concert before I'm a losser dude hehehehe.

 

don't think of it as boring, just refer to it as being toned down!

I was pretty old before I saw my first concert...16 or 17 maybe.

 

I'd rather be toned up than toned down...

 

I've never done it properly...only from in the crowd. Apart from my mates band who asked me to take photos (along with someone else), didn't really come out very good though, the venue was crap, had too many pillars that got in the way infront of the stage.

 

it's very tough for a variety of reasons, that certainly being one of them...I was hardcore though...*never used flash!!

*Yeah, I rule

 

Great shot of the drummer!

Did you actually get on stage or just zoom?
