Back when I shot Apollo's Daughter at Fubar, I had also reached out to the other bands asking if they'd like any photos taken, as well. Treading Oceans let me know they were interested in having some promos and live shots done, so we set up a schedule to get them taken. I've worked with their guitarist, Evan, before, so I knew they would be a fun band to photograph.

Treading Oceans is currently working on new music, and looking for a new drummer. Check them out here: www.facebook.com/TreadingOceans/

Live shots are after the break!

Apollo's Daughter is one of my favorite bands in St. Louis. They have amazing energy, and are super awesome to hang out with. A few months back, they had contacted me to do some new promotional shots for them. They recently had re-formed, with a new bassist, and wanted to get some new images out to their fan base. There was a show coming up at Fubar, so I went out and captured some promos and live shots for them. This band is awesome. Check them out on Facebook, here: www.facebook.com/apollosdaughtermusic/ and click below to check out some select shots from their performance!

This Halloween there was a show at the Firebird in St. Louis, MO. I decided to attend, check out the awesome local talent, and shoot a few pictures. Most of the show had sub-par lighting, with a lot of red wash. This was a difficult situation to work with, especially when working on the photographs in post processing. 

The bands that played the show were Sky Burnt White, New Lingo, Discrepancies, Oatm, Conquer As They Come, and Apollo's Daughter. Due to the lighting situation, I was not able to get good photographs of every band. However, I did get some awesome shots of a few of the bands.

On July 28th I went old to Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center to take some photographs of a new band called Old State. We did a few promo shots beforehand, and then I shot them while performing. These guys refer to themselves as "aggressive sadcore" and list influences such as Citizen, Title Fight, and Brand New. They're currently gearing up to go into the studio and work on an EP. The show at Lemp was their first performance, and was definitely an energetic set. Due to the venue having a lack of lighting (it's basically a house where floor shows are played), I shot with an off camera flash throughout the set. This gave some contrast to the photographs. Old State's Facebook page is located at www.facebook.com/OldStateMO.
