About 2018 and 2019...

The short answer is I got really behind on posting about my shows the past couple years. I decided it was too overwhelming to catch up the site on those shows as far as written recaps. However, throughout the year I did keep up with show photography and am finally caught up archiving my visual work at least. I have organized these sets into a Flickr collection located here for 2018 and here for 2019, which is still being updated.

Enjoy!

CONCERT REPORT: Nastie at The Broadway

Nastie, feat. Roddy Bottum of Faith No More, The Broadway February 15, 2020

Valentine's Day is usually associated with lovey dovey activities like romantic meals at a fancy restaurant, exchanging sentimental cards or enjoying a box of chocolates. As for me, this year I decided to get weird and go see another one of the great Roddy Bottum's bands, Nastie.

CONCERT REPORT: Mr. Bungle at Brooklyn Steel

To say I was happy I had the opportunity to go to the sold out Mr. Bungle show at Brooklyn Steel on Monday night would be an understatement. I was shut out the day tickets went on sale back in August, and proceeded to stress out about this show through two seasons and four national holidays until I miraculously found someone selling a ticket for face value on Twitter the week before the show. I REALLY WANTED TO BE THERE. Thankfully the concert gods allowed this to happen.

CONCERT REPORT: Crickets at Baby's All Right

This past January was my third time seeing Crickets, which is the new side project from Faith No More's Roddy Bottum and Le Tigre's JD Samson, as well as Samson's bandmate in a band called MEN, Michael O'Neill. And with each show, my enthusiasm for them has grown more every time I see them.
