Pitchfork Music Festival on 35mm
It was a busy end of summer, a busy entirety of fall and a busy beginning of winter – I did not have very much time to scan film. Now, however, the mystery of the 6 rolls of Ilford 400 I shot at my two …
I shot 1/4 of Deathwish Fest at Middle East Downstairs – 7/23
The inaugural Deathwish Fest, a 2-night extravaganza celebrating New England’s preeminent metal/hardcore label, went down at Cambridge’s Middle East Downstairs this week. The mini-festival hosted a total of 14 bands, highlighted by two headlining sets each from Converge and Trap Them. I was thoroughly dismayed to …
Thou & The Body played Cuisine en Locale – 7/7
Well this one was different. The function hall at Somerville’s Cuisine en Locale looks to have hosted more bar mitzvahs and wedding receptions than punk/metal shows, but it served surprisingly well for last night’s massive 6-band bill.
Eagulls played Great Scott – 6/18
Greetings on this sweltering July day. I bring you chilly post-punk vibes from the recent past, courtesy of the Eagulls. The U.K. upstarts played a blistering set at Great Scott a few Wednesdays ago, channeling songs from their noisy self-titled debut into a tight and …

It’s been about a month since the May edition of Boston Calling, which naturally means that my two rolls of Ilford HP5 have just now returned from the lab and been scanned (if any of you Boaton area people have darkroom equipment and want to …
Deafheaven, Pallbearer, grain on 35mm
San Francisco’s Deafheaven, one of my favorite bands of the moment, headlined a sold-out show at The Sinclair on Monday night with the comparably awesome Pallbearer and experimental duo Wreck and Reference. This is the second Deafheaven set I’ve shot this year , and it …
35mm catch-up with Dump, Television, The Bevis Frond, Barbara Manning
On occasion, I drag some vintage equipment around to shows and shoot a roll of film or two. I’ve actually been making a point to do it more often lately, which is why you’ll be seeing some (hopefully) lovely analog shots from Boston Calling up …
Television played the Paradise – 5/12
I really never expected to see Television. They’re a legendary band with no ostensible reason to embark on proper tours, content to play one-off festival dates and the occasional NYC gig that I would inevitably not be able to get to (case in point: last …
White Hills played Great Scott – 5/11
Sunday was one of the first legitimately beautiful days of the obnoxious faux-spring that has cloaked Boston in grey misery for much of the last month or two, and a gorgeous day faded into a warm, weird night in Allston where NYC heavy pysch space-rockers White …
