the dan ryan @ vaudeville mews
On February 4th, The Dan Ryan made an incredible appearance at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines, Iowa. Photographer Chad Bennett was there to clue us in on all the fun.
upright man @ brooklyn bowl
Upright Man showed us how emotional rock music can be on January 30th at Brooklyn Bowl. The band plays with enough energy to compel you to dance,while also playing with enough empathetic despondency to force listeners to reflect upon every decision that has guided them to this point. Upright Man‘s songs seem to move forward at the same time as staying still. Notes hang in soupy reverb. Unexpected distortion jaggedly cuts through the shimmer. Upright Man would be as comfortable opening for Steely Dan as they would sharing a stage with Royal Blood. The set helped me find myself only to lose myself time after time. The band deserves your attention, last night they certainly had mine.
the wombats + courtship @ the truman
On Friday, January 19th, Courtship took the stage at The Truman in Kansas City, MO to open for the phenomenally fun Wombats. We were so in love with the photos at first glance, that we didn’t even bother editing them.
