It doesn't usually take me a week and a half to get a blog post up, but I'm not usually in the midst of buying a house either. Most of my free time has been taken up with packing and scheduling work to be done on the house, but I've still managed to get out and see some good shows. When I'm going to get a chance to work on those photos and share them remains to be seen.  With that being said, now would be a great time for you to take look at the main galleries and consider purchasing a print. I think my night/long exposure photos would make a great addition to any decor!

Last Saturday night had Irradio headlining at the Radio Room. Last time I shot them, I mentioned that they had some inspirational themes in the music, and that must have hit home with the SDMA judges since their album won an award last month.



It was an uncharacteristically dim lighting scheme tonight so group shots weren't happening.









I picked up the album to hear what all the fuss was about. I wasn't really expecting much since the live show seemed a bit chaotic this night with some overly extended jamming in places. But damn, this CD is really good! Not only is it catchy, but it's dense and uplifting too. I've had it in constant rotation for the past ten days, and it just seems to get better.



While it's not exactly my favorite CD of the year, it's still a great release and I can see why it won. Fever Sleeves, who opened up this show, should have at least gotten a nomination this year for Soft Pipes, Play On, but whatever. Judges aren't perfect.
