The Gypsy Sons @ The State Theatre
Last Saturday night I had the chance to shoot The Gypsy Sons @ The State Theatre in Falls Church. I had never shot at that venue before but have heard it is really nice. Was I told right.
The Gypsy Sons opened for a true icon in rockand blues music Johnny Winter and I am sure the fans that braved the first snow storm of 2009 were not disappointed with TGS.
TGS started rocking right around 9pm and I have to say for a band to not have a sound check and just plug-n-play they sounded AWESOME. They rocked the crowed for close to an hour and I am sure that they left there with quite a few new fans.
I will be uploading images tonight but stay tuned as I will be hopefully shooting them more.
Trigger Pull @ Champion Billiards
Champion Billiards in Arlington is becoming quite the little venue for local bands. They have remodeled to create a stage, dance area and tables that is going to make this one of the choice venues in Arlington.
Trigger Pull played there on October 30 and I was impressed, not just with the venue but with the “NEW” Trigger Pull. They played two sets of about 12-15 songs a set and rocked until closing time. They played all the covers that make you cut a rug and order another beer.
I had a great night shooting the guys from Trigger Pull and got to listen to some great music doing it.
Thanks for having me out guys and I look forward to the next show.
Karma Issue at Ri-Ra
This past Saturday I shot a local band named Karma Issue at RiRa in Arlington. I must say this is one of the hottest local bands I have seen in a while. The night was packed with covers and originals that kept the crowd dancing and singing along. No worries though there was plenty enough time for Oren to toast everyone several times throughout the night.
Stay tuned for pictures from the evening.
Trigger Pull @ Cafe Asia
So last night I shot a new band called “Trigger Pull”. It was thier first time together as a band and were playing a venue that was hosting its first band performance. My contact with the band was thier bassist Leo, who is one of Arlington County Finest. Once he introduced me to the band, they are all ACPD. Now, dont let that distract you, these guys still rock.
Being that it was thier first time rockin on a stage together, there were the normal issues like blowing fuses for the lights. The sound never stopped and playing in the dark did not scare these guys. At the end of the 2 sets they came back for one more song just to please the crowd.

If you were there than you know these guys are going to be good. The pics are coming soon, stay tuned.
Klepto Radio @ Growlers 10-03-2008
Well folks, KleptoRadio does it again this time at Growlers of Gaithersburg. I have to admit this was my first time at Growlers but the spot seems to be a hit. The show started about 9:30pm and rocked until the doors closed. This is a pretty tight space which made for some loud Klepto!! Just the way we like it. The show was a hit and the band what they do, ROCK!!!

KleptoRadio @ Auld Shebeen ~ 08-15-2008
Well I have to admit this was the first time I have seen this band together. I do know the bass player from his previous band but other than that this was going to be a first impression. I have to say, I was not disappointed at all. KleptoRadio knows how to get the venue rocking.

The first set started at 11:00pm or there close to it, from the first song till the last one at 1:30am, I could not stop singing along. High energy is an understatement. I can not wait till the next time I get to see and shoot these guys. They rock and they draw an awesome crowd.
Cheap Date ~ 08-01-2008
Cheap Date was in top form as they opened two shows. The first started about 6:30pm @ Friday Night Live and they rocked there till about 8.
