This was a fun night. 5 bands. Show over before 10 pm. Stoned on the couch in Westland by 11. Hey, well, at least no one broke the water main. Kinda weird to still have the same energy after doing that though right? Anyway, all the bands ripped. Stoked for what's coming down the pipe.

313 Day at Edgemen Screenprinting was such a good show and an even better day. D Bloc, Bad Beat, Escalation of Force, and Resolute all got shots from me…

My friends in Zeta came through a few times in the last couple of months, but I missed their first one, so I made sure to get out and see them play a set at the Loving Touch in Ferndale as they were supporting the band A Lot Like Birds.

So nuts, I have seen Sammy play in 4 different bands in the last 2 years. His crossovers, playing open-handed, standing up and playing, all of it was so influential to me as I got deeper into drumming. He's so nuts. This makes me want to play again for sure. I need to do more drum cams going forward, it's the funnest shit out of all of the music photography stuff to do. Hang with them.

ANTE UP, BITTER TRUTH, MORAL POLLUTION, CHORUS OF DEMONS, AND KINGS COMMAND packed out Parts and Labor in Melvindale…

I have to preface this with; it meant a lot to me to do this because the 3 guys I grew up listening to this band with in high school are all dead. RIP Joey Bags, Hansen, and Dolsen.

Boris and The Melvins at Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit was a treat for me being I was obliterated on dabs and in a really good mood knowing the next day I would be flying to California. That type of energy should be able to be bottled! It made shooting so relaxing, for the first time ever. Usually, I am anxious and trying to keep myself focused. Luckily I was able to just enjoy myself and photograph the sets and feel special. Knowing Nirvana played this room is a big deal for most of us right? So to have anyone that is connected to them come here and play in the same room, is a pretty big deal. This all plays into my theory that

Time Is A Circle Pit.

Machine Head brought the Slaughter the Martour to Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit Saturday night. Packed to the gills alongside friends in Fear Factory, Sweden’s Orbit Culture, and my favorite on the lineup Gates to Hell…
