Last weekend we witnessed the end of a great hard rock band, Modern Rifles. After opening sets by Lands on Fire and Swim Party, they took the "stage" and gave us one last chance to sing along to their quintessentially San Diego sound. See the full gallery by clicking on a photo.



By the time I got my camera and a beer, there was no place to stand in front, so I had to squeeze in on the side. I was sure that Jonny's headstock was going to ram into either my camera or my crotch at any moment.





Brian is now in Boyscout, photos of their Belly Up show should be up soon.





It was great to see such a turnout of fans, everyone was singing and having a great time. I've shot this band several times over the past year, and they're all super nice guys- no egos in the bunch. They even let friends take over some vocals.





If you don't have their CD yet, you should pick it up. For one thing, it's the best sounding CD to come out of Black Box Studios, in my opinion. And now it's also the only way you'll hear this music.



I'll miss you guys.
