THE NEW SOUND
I pulled together a few intimate shots of some friends of mine who I feel are among the new sound that is pushing music FORWARD. I tried to capture them each in a natural way or in their own personal zone. There are many more artists on this list but I wanted to offer only a glimpse.
Go learn more about these artists and checkout the rest of my personal soundtrack at IHEARDITON. Keep your ears OPEN….
SXSW 2010 - DEMBYCRATIC EDITION
I just got back from Austin and besides having no blackberry and being analog for 3 days it was INCREDIBLE. Any real music lover MUST make SXSW an annual stop. PERIOD. Every band you ever want to see is out there and honestly my ears are STILL ringing.
Performance highlights that come to mind were The XX, Theophilus London, Marina & The Diamonds, Estelle, VV Brown, Raphael Saadiq, Broken Bells, Yelawolf, Honey Honey & my FAVORITE was a band called Carney. The lead singer Reeve is a lovechild made between Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley raised by Robert Plant. SERIOUSLY. GET FAMILIAR HERE
Check out a DOPE performance of “Hum Drum Town” by Theophilus London Live @ Malverde:
