NYC Popfest 2007, night 1
I had a great time last night at show 1 of NYC Popfest. Lots of great people and I took
some great photos. More after the cut.
Lispector. She seemed pretty cool. Kinda like The Blow.
4 year old boy. There was this little kid with a sword dancing around and climbing up on the stage between sets. Everyone was fascinated with him.
The Metric Mile. The girl in the middle played “distortion.” All shoegazey, but with a beat so you could dance to it. They didn’t have an album out yet, so I couldn’t buy it.
Yellow Fever. A band from Auston, TX. They had some neat harmonizing.
Pants Yell!
self protraits. Just me fooling around with the shadows.
BMX Bandits. This band was terrific. They did a beautiful cover of Bonnie ‘Prince’ William’s After I Made Love to You. It was so late though, I couldn’t stay for their whole set. I ended up leaving around 2:00am.
The rest of my photos of the night are here.
Everyone at the show was great. It’s such a friendly scene. I don’t remember the last time so many people came up to me and introduced themselves. The glam scene can shove it. This is where it’s at. I can’t wait for the show tonight, the show Saturday night, the dance party on Sunday, and the BBQ/show on Monday.
Hi Taybin! Nice meeting you this weekend. Thanks for posting these photos.
