08/08/2009 KLAF 5 and 08/09/2009 @ The Yellow House

OK, I finally have a chance to sit down and sift through all the shots I came back with from the past weekend. This shit has seriously been non-stop. I had to shoot a wedding on Friday, KLAF on Saturday and then the show at The Yellow Room on Sunday.
I'm extremely tired right now and I think I'm getting sick again(would be 3rd time this year). So on that note, I'll just post some photos lacking details(mostly).




KLAF 5 was fucking epic. As it has always been in the past. 11 bands, 350+ people or some crazy shit and the canned food drive pulled in two barrels of canned food maxed out. So sick!
If I don't have photos of your band, it would be for one of two reasons.

1) I wasn't really into the set.

2) I was having technical difficulties.

At the end of the wedding I dropped my camera and in the flurry of trying to catch it before it hit the ground I pushed a button that disabled my camera from auto focusing in low light situations. I eventually figured out what I did halfway through KLAF and fixed it but I had already shot several bands. I was bummed to see good compositions out of focus.

Punch...


Spires...


1994!...


Dead To Me...


Touche Amore...

^^^I could not keep the lens from fogging during this set. So annoying.

Broadway Calls


Comadre



During the break the dudes in Punch wanted me to snap a shot of them to document the day as the end of their 6 week U.S tour...



After that a bunch of us decided to head on down toward the beach which was especially rad because I hadn't seen most of these guys since they left for tour. On the way down I got to meet a few kids from L.A. that had been following the Spires/1994! tour around. These dudes were pretty awesome. Glad I got to meet em...




The following night at The Yellow Room was crazy good times. This marked the official end for the Spires/1994! West Coast Tour and Chris and Mike were flying back to PA the next morning. I don't think I've ever sweated so much in a weekend while standing still.

Unrestrained...


Loma Prieta...


Seasick...


1994!...


Spires...


And to top off the night, Chris showed us how dudes get down in Pennsylvania...

HAHAHA^^


As always, more stuff posted on my Flickr. Stuff from The Yellow Room show I have up tomorrow night. I'm too tired now. Also, Git Some is coming back through this Friday and Punch has some shows coming up. I'll post details tomorrow.

Good.
Night!
