The Get Up Kids / Into It. Over It. / Rozwell Kid – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 12/12/15

On December 12 The Get Up Kids performed in New Jersey for their 20th anniversary.  Some may say, “I feel old”, but after the show ended I think the audience felt like their youth.  Opening the show was new Side One Dummy Records records signing Rozwell Kid.  I didn’t know what to expect from this… Read More The Get Up Kids / Into It.

John The Gun – Maxwell’s Tavern – Hoboken, NJ – 12/11/15

Friday I made my way to Hoboken to photograph my friend’s band John The Gun.  Even though they weren’t headlining, they still put a great show just like last time.  Sneaking into their set was a cover of “Carol Of The Bells” for the holiday season and a quick little tribute to Scott Weiland with… Read More John The Gun – Maxwell’s Tavern – Hoboken, NJ – 12/11/15

On Black Friday, the Lehigh Valley experience not one, not two, but three reunions at Jabber Jaws in Allentown.  Definitely a trip down memory lane for everyone in the room, and the three bands that reunited still have it.  Opening the show was a new local punk band Admit Nothing.  With influences like Screeching Weasel… Read More Digger / Walter Krug / No Blitz / Admit Nothing – Jabber Jaws – Allentown, PA – 11/27/15

My first time at The Brighton Bar, and even though the lighting was a challenge to work with, I hope to come back again because this venue is a great place to see shows.  The first band of the night was The Mega Yeah from around Nazareth, PA area.  Not far from where I am… Read More Mustard Plug/Backyard Superheroes/Teenage Halloween/The Mega Yeah – The Brighton Bar – Long Branch, NJ – 11/14/15

New Found Glory / Yellowcard / Tigers Jaw – Sands Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 10/31/15

I always wanted to photograph a Halloween show because I thought it would be neat to capture that memory of the band wearing costumes on stage.  If this is my only one, it was a great show to attend. From Scranton, PA, Tigers Jaw opened the show.  After a very brief hiatus, Tigers Jaw is… Read More New Found Glory / Yellowcard / Tigers Jaw – Sands Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 10/31/15

The Bouncing Souls / Leftover Crack / Beach Slang / All Torn Up – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 10/17/15

Exactly three months, and I am seeing The Bouncing Souls again, which isn’t a bad thing.  This time there was no full album playing, but a well put setlist spanning their entire discography.  Again, the bill was filled with great openers and seeing the Bouncing Souls in the fall in picturesque Lancaster isn’t a bad… Read More The Bouncing Souls / Leftover Crack / Beach Slang / All Torn Up – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 10/17/15

Armor For Sleep / Owel / The Moms / The Cold Seas – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 9/18/15

I’ve been getting hit with nostalgia these past couple of years.  Bands that I thought were over and done with started coming back to do a few shows or maybe even make new music.  The music industry is a weird place as always, but I feel bands are starting to make some money doing reunion… Read More Armor For Sleep / Owel / The Moms / The Cold Seas – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 9/18/15

The Bouncing Souls / Andrew Jackson Jihad / Screaming Females / Seaside Caves – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 7/17/15

How I spent my summer vacation.  A writing assignment most children have to complete their first week back to school after the summer break.  Most essays are filled with trips to the beach, amusement parks, bbqs, camp, etc.  However, I am curious about how many kids will mention seeing The Bouncing Souls perform their album How I… Read More The Bouncing Souls / Andrew Jackson Jihad / Screaming Females / Seaside Caves – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 7/17/15
