Lorein & Happysad in Parlament
Lorein Happysad Some thoughts after last night concert I think my 7D is not the best of camera for a concert. Shadows get very grainy very quickly, contrast is low at hight speed ISO, and the sensor doesn’t really like plain red lights. On top of that I don’t have any fast prime lens like [...]
Coilguns in Desdemona
Coilguns, a metal band from La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland (french speaking part). Country of chocolate, watches and cheese. For us French, we like to think that the Swiss are very slow. They are slow as they speak…. Coilguns proves that in Switzerland, they can also make good Metal music – as I write, I think their [...]
pARTyzant in Blues Club – Gdynia
That guy can play guitar man. Like Rodrigo & Gabriela, this guitarist has rubber and totally independent fingers & hands. As with every musicians who play their instrument to the near perfection, it looks so easy, but in fact, it’s not. Far from it. It requires lot of work. And at the end, it’s a [...]
Selah Sue
Yesterday I had a big concert to cover. Selah Sue. You know her. I mean you know at least one of her song. The one you can hear in the Kinder Bueno Ad. And it’s just that day that my EF-S 10-22 decided to break down. Blocked. Totally blocked. Impossible to zoom and to focus. [...]
Pink Freud
That’s one of the band you better see them live than listening to their album quietly in your house. Before I went to photograph them, I did a little research on Youtube, and frankly, I can’t say that I loved what I heard. So I went there with a little fear that I wouldn’t like [...]
The Abstinents
The Abstinents. I went to see them on Saturday last. It’s Punk music, like the one I was listening to when I was 16 years ago. Very energetic, electric and with a crazy singer – in the good way. I don’t know a lot of things about them. So I ask for people to help [...]
An Evening of Post-Rock in Gdańsk
One of the best concert I’ve seen so far this year as a photographer was this very last Sunday in Parlament in Gdańsk. An evening of Post-Rock & Metal music. And I can say that they can kick some arses man. I went there knowing nothing about them, like for most of my assignment. I [...]
The Rasmus
I only know The Rasmus because one of their song is used by the French TV show On N’est Pas Couché since their debut 6 years ago. Beside that, I knew nothing. Okay, I checked on internet before going to photograph them, and after watching few of their videos, I was not totally enthusiastic. I [...]
The Dirty Youth
I went to see The Dirty Youth on Saturday evening in the Parlament in Gdańsk. It’s was the support band for The Rasmus. It was a really nice surprise – I didn’t know them before that concert – and actually they were much better than The Rasmus. Ok, They played 7 songs, only 30 minutes, [...]
Hard Times – Polish Trio
Hard Times is a trio from Krakow, they play Acoustic Blues, the band is composed of Łukasz Wiśniewski (harmonica & vocal), Piotr Grząślewicz (acoustic guitar) & Marcin Hilarowicz (acoustic guitar). They played in Blues Pub, a very well known pub in Gdynia for such music. The place was packed as usual and the crowd was [...]
Sugar Pie & Candyman
This evening I went to check on Sugar Pie & Candyman. It’s an Italian quintet, from Milan more precisely. I don’t really know how to classify them. I would say that they do some sort of Happy Bunny Jazz with a hint of Mad Swing, a pinch of Boogie-Woogie and a splash of Mambo. The [...]
Soulfly
Yesterday, armed with my earplug, I went to photograph Soulfly in Gdańsk for The Maximum Cavalera Tour, which promotes their brand new album “enslaved“. There was 2 supports band, Lody Kong and Incite. The place was full of enthusiastic fans jumping all over the place (it’s because of that that I lost my memory card [...]
A Weekend in Warsaw
Last Friday & Saturday we went to Warsaw. As a Wedding Anniversary Present. Jus for one thing, a Red Hot Chili Pepper concert. Scroll down to read more about the concert. It was so hot, over 35°C, no wind at all. Killing hot if we could say. Thanks some tramways were air-conditioned, but most of [...]
Lipali
You can check out their website here, only available in Polish. A pretty big crowd attended the concert, which was nice. I think it was Metal, not the same kind of Metal than Coal Chamber or Amen to name a few, perhaps something a bit softer, Soft Metal, Heavy Indies, Strong Alternative… I think we [...]
La Batard de la Raison
That’s Hip-Hop, which means I don’t like it. Especially when I don’t understand what they are talking about. They have an empty website though : here on myspace. And here is a video of them, just for you to make your own opinion. I’m fair play. I don’t like Hip-Hop, but why I shouldn’t write [...]
