Over on the Village Voice recently, there was a review by Jill Menze of Walk the Moon‘s first of two sold-out shows at Terminal 5 on April 14th of 2015. She wrote, “Walk the Moon put their progress on display with a polished and highly energetic sold-out show. The band catered to the young-skewing audience — their biggest fan, it turns out, is an adorable five-year-old girl who shouted every lyric through the entire set” and her full review is up here. A couple of my photos are up alongside the article but a bunch more, including one of some fans who created the line to get in at 6 am, are shared below. The band was recording their T5 shows for something so maybe I’ll make a tour video for being in the photo pit. Wouldn’t that be neat?
On Saturday night, I had the opportunity to catch Australian electronic artist Chet Faker perform on the first night of his three sold-out shows at Terminal 5 in NYC. The show was in support of his recent full-length album Built on Glass with tracks from his earlier EP Thinking in Textures. A couple of my images ran alongside Silas Valentino’s review over on the Village Voice site.
Valentino wrote about the rise of Faker and an obstacle he will face in reaching greater success, “Easily one of the most well-received moments of the evening, what “No Diggity” proves is that Faker is highly capable of mounting scores of success — but it requires his own credit. And even though tracks like “1998” and “Cigarettes and Loneliness” have what it takes, that indescribable x-factor remains the only prevention blocking his path.” A link to the whole review was just above this and his tour dates are below my photos (including his final show at Terminal 5 tonight).
