Why Modest, Why must you have the worst stage setup. I wish you were closer to those people who came to see you cough me cough. The whole band seemed to be hidden behind at least 2 instruments. They performed amazing as expected but because of the setup one of the main bands I wanted to shoot was lacking in the photo area. I even wore my green buffalo Modest Mouse shirt 
They played a few of their new songs off the EP, sounded great.
Photo Notes:
As I already said, they were all so far back and with 30 photographers this was even harder to capture do to the lack of space. Great show though 
Cake had some of the most dramatic lighting of the whole show but also had more technical problems than most. He was having a good time yelling / telling jokes to the sound booth. Regardless the show was great with very record like sound.
Photo Notes:
Shot all in manual for this and most of the other sets for the night. I loved how the colors just poured all over the stage. I am in love with this lighting as it is a photographers dream.
We were greeted by someone dressed like a tiger and then the band dressed up like some sort of fairies. As a photographer you tend to love everything that is out of the norm because it always makes for better photos. They had people up on stage doing little acts that included gas masks and fat stuffed people as well
Photo Notes:
Lighting on Fulano stage was great and the unique characters on it made it even better. All images Unedited.
Photo Notes:
All images Unedited, Straight from the NIkon D700. Deerhunter played a good set although the lighting was difficult.
Oh Busta, you were the second act in a row to go over 20 minutes late. The other 30 photographers and I were all pretty upset that you put our precisely set up schedule in the blender. You were late because of sound issues and I understand but come on spend the extra cash and find someone who knows how to get rid of interference / feedback.
Photo Notes:
Besides being late he was energetic but stayed fairly still. All images are unedited.
