The Fragile Army
The Fragile Army from Polyphonic Spree was released on the 19th, sheesh, I’m behind. I guess with all the excitement from Bonnaroo and ComFest I lost track of the release date. Anyway, I downloaded it from iTunes today and gave it my first full listen. Wow, great stuff, I think it’s their strongest to date. [...]
Burt’s Bees
OK, I’ve been slacking on writing lately, sorry. Now I’ll be back in the swing of things. So I got back to Raleigh on Tues. to do a shoot on Wed and Thurs for Burt’s Bees. I have to say I really respect the company. It started in the backwoods of Maine making all natural [...]
Happy ComFest
So, once again it’s almost ComFest time. When most everyone in Columbus (and beyond) comes down to Goodale Park and wonders around listening to music and drinks way too much. I haven’t yet recovered from Bonnaroo and it starts tomorrow. So if you live in CBus, there’s no excuse for not coming out. Heck, I [...]
Bonnaroovians
OK, I heard this term while at Bonnaroo. Basically people who have been to Bonnaroo. Kinda funny and odd, yet fitting. This year I spent more time this year shooting the crowd then I have in the past, trying to get a sense of the atmosphere of the festival and not just the musicians playing. [...]
White Stripes, Icky Thump
Hey look, non-Bonnaroo news. Well, almost….the photo above is from Sunday @ Bonnaroo that I shot, but Icky Thump is out and it’s great. They played a few songs from live and the album is great. BTW, they put on a hell of a show live, I recommend seeing them every chance you get, it [...]
Infinity!
So there are different levels of passes for Bonnaroo. Everyone has something, including the general concertgoer. You either have a wristband or two or a lanyard. Wristbands are good, red gets you into the concert grounds, VIP, I think was blue, you get special camping, food, parking, though you pay for it. I had a [...]
Flaming Lips
Wow, great show last night. Might have been the highlight of this year’s Bonnaroo. Incredible show, great production. If you have never seen the Lips live, you need to. More to follow. Exclusive to Feversmile: Flaming Lips Gallery Bonnaroo 2007 Gallery
Spinner Coverage
Manu Chao, more photos here. OK, I’m pretty much running ragged around here. 10 bands so far today and I haven’t hit the late night yet. You can check out Spinner for more of my photos and lots of great coverage. Taking all I can to keep up loading, captioning and sending them to Retna [...]
we’re here
We all made it and it’s hot and hot. More later with photos. Everything starts very soon with Lewis Black. Bonnaroo also sold out today at 80,000 people.
On the way
Well, I’m leaving for Bonnaroo. I’m officially, as of now suppling photos for Spinner, AOL Music and from Retna for resale. I’m excited, video is going to be interesting and challenging. Look for photos soon.
Next week
Well, Bonnaroo is 5 days away. Paul and I will be posting directly from the press tent during the show. Might not have too much before then because of travel. Drive 8 hours to Ohio on Sat. Drive 7 hours to Manchester, TN from Columbus on Wed. night, spend the night on the road or [...]
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Sunday @ Bonnaroo, I’m sure I’ll add more, but it I’m normally fairly tired by Sunday and may edit more on this day and your know, enjoy some of the shows and hang out with everyone. These are my “for sures” Pete Yorn (1:00 – 2:00) Wolfmother (2:30 – 3:45) The Decemberists (4:30 – 6:00) [...]
Superjam!
Wow, I have to amend my Friday listing. I will be hitting up The Superjam on Friday night. This year they actually announced who will be there ahead of time. Get this, former Led Zeppelin bass player, John Paul Jones with Ben Harper, and Roots drummer Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson. Wow
10 Free Songs
Ok, I’ll hand it to Bonnaroo this year, they are at least up on their technology. Apple’s iTunes and Bonnaroo have teamed up to give away free music. Bonnaroo normally give out a CD to everyone that enters, this year they have made it so you can download from iTunes, one per account, so I’d [...]
New Polyphonic Spree video “Running Away”
From our friends at Spinner…. Pretty cool, like an advanced version of the videos I’ve been doing.
getting ready for a big music festival
Ok, sorry to be pretty much only posting on Bonnaroo lately, but it’s T-Minus 9 days before we leave and I have to be ready. So, I’ll try to impose my experience on others. What do I need to bring. Now it’s going to be a little different as I’m covering the show, taking lots [...]
bonnaroo schedule, Saturday
OK, I’m kinda light right now, but these are my “for sure” concerts for the day. I haven’t shot any of these bands, ‘cept The Flaming Lips, but I only shot them on B&W film the first year I was there. Only so-so results, ‘cept for one luck shot with strobe lights and confetti flying [...]
Soko, I’ll Kill Her
Ok, this has been going around quite a bit. Credit has to go to Duffy at Donewaiting, but for those who hasn’t seen it. Great video, Holly I know you’ll like it. Soko – I'll kill herUploaded by Rkst
