NXNE... part 1

Last weekend was the NXNE festival here in Toronto & once again I shot for the festival!



goodies!

I started my day off Thursday afternoon @ Lavish and Squalor for some afternoon rock n' roll courtesy of  The Coppertone

I'd seen The Coppertone once before about a year ago, back when it was just Amanda and a drummer. It was great to see/hear her with a full band, it really did her songs justice, fleshed 'em out, you know....

Then it was off to Sneaky Dee's for M for Montreal's NXNE showcase,

The Schomberg Fair

 I'd heard a lot about this band, but never got a chance to see them until now, super good.

Larry And His Flask

  I hadn't heard of this band until I got my NXNE schedule. Apparently I was in the dark, a bunch of people showed up and lost their shit for this band. Which was understandable because not only did they put on an amazing live show but their tunes were great.

And I topped my night off @ the Boat with the Lovely Killbots

  another band I keep hearing about and haven't had the chance to see yet....

more pics soon....!

I've been published!

That's right kids, I've been published! And it's nothing to sneeze at either, I got a whole page all to myself. YAY!

You can find this page of mine in this years NXNE festival guide......




the photo is one I shot of the Best Coast at the festival in 2010.......    




You can see the rest of my Best Coast shots here: Best Coast NXNE 2010

                   So get out there and pick one up! Scour the streets of Toronto if you have to!....
