Indie Night in Canada 2009 – Awaking State
So it’s not a surprise that I know Awaking State (http://www.awakingstate.com) since I’ve been very close friends with their current drummer (Brandon! HEY!) for a while now. But this particular show was going to be fun.
Late night show on a Wednesday. Seriously. There was a massive crowd out and it was fantastic. After one minor mishap that was pretty quickly resolved, the show was great, the lighting was actually decent for being at the Kathederal (it usually is nearly impossible to shoot in) and I had a blast weaving and ducking around at least 5 or 6 other photographers.
While it’s always hard to listen to the band when I’m concentrating on my photography, I took a minute here and there to just hang out and listen. And these guys are doing great. I love their line up, they’re great musicians, great people & pretty damn hot.
