Rock 'n Roll Saturday Night

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of going to buddy's concert in his basement. Basement concerts are a rite of passage of sorts for Portland bands. Artists like The Decemberists, The Helio Sequence, The Thermals, M. Ward, The Dandy Warhols and Elliot Smith made the rounds of playing the basements of PDX.

Here is a fun little video MTV did awhile back about it:

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - MTV Shows

Anyway, I fired off some shots at the concert which are below. You'll probably recognize of few of them from a shoot I did of them when I was just getting started with this whole photography thing. Check out Dave and Ryan's newest creation: Danger Death Ray. Enjoy!











PS Stay tuned for a wicked awesome shoot I did for their band in an old church downtown that I'll post within the week.
