WEEKENDS

Todd possesses that big, deep voice you hear weekends on The Point. When he's not shaking your speakers, he's skin-pounding and cymbal-crashing on his drum set.

Shame on me...I have not posted for while.

Well, I have been a little behind on updating my blog.  Oh yeah, it's pretty much been pure laziness.  I have been busy photographing shows and there are still many more on the horizon. 
 
Danzig Wouldn't Let Me Photograph His Show
The Danzig show was pretty good but not the best I have seem him.  Tommy Victor and Johnny Kelley kicked ass on their instruments but Danzig sure did bitch a lot.  I find that shit very annoying when a front man is whiney and bitchy at shows.  PLUS, he didn't allow any photographers to photograph his show....not even the opening act could be photographed when Danzig is in the building.  They made you turn off your cell phones too so you wouldn't take any camera phone pics either.  But it's his show, his stage and he can be a douche if he wants to.  Just stop bitching on stage ...


Danzig and Devildriver at Pop's!! April is full of great shows and hope to photograph them all!!
