Last month I got to catch Manic Street Preachers perform their album The Holy Bible (for its twentieth anniversary) at Webster Hall in NYC for the Village Voice. The reviewer, Linda Laban, wrote, “This tour is a celebration of its very nature. Webster Hall’s audience was ready for that and sang along on those catchy, cutthroat choruses: “We’re all just walking abortions.” And having not really heard the album, or that song, much before, I was excited to experience the show especially as it was the band’s first trip stateside since 2009. Opener Jennie Vee went to sign autographs and meet fans after her set. The Manics were thrilling to watch with Nicky Wire jumping around a lot. ‘The Holy Bible Tour’ didn’t keep The Manics around the US very long unfortunately and their only upcoming tour dates are the following few shows in the UK:
May 30, 2015 Edinburgh Usher Hall
Jun 01, 2015 Wolverhampton Civic Hall
Jun 02, 2015 Southampton Guildhall
Jun 05, 2015 Cardiff Cardiff Castle
Jul 19, 2015 Latitude Festival Henham Park, Suffolk
Sep 12, 2015 OnBlackheath Blackheath, London
But if you want to relive the Webster Hall show, check out my photos below the jump.
Last night, Modest Mouse‘s tour stop at New York’s Webster Hall was the first of two sold-out shows there in support of their newest album, Strangers to Ourselves, the long-desired follow-up to 2007’s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. I photographed the band for the Village Voice and my images went alongside Sean McCabe’s excellent review of the excellent performance. You can read the whole thing here.
However, when you read the article, you’ll only see a couple of images that I sent over, but I had a ton more worth sharing, so please take a look below for a colorful gallery of Isaac Brock and co.
I’ve photographed Red Baraat several times in the past, including their past two Holi / Festival of Colors shows. The one in 2013 was at Webster Hall and those pictures are on PopMatters while the most recent New York City one was was held at the Highline Ballroom. The band liked my photos enough from the prior year that I shot that gig for Red Baraat which they then shared the pictures on their Facebook page. Their 2015 flyer features an image of mine from the Webster Hall gig. Tonight they will be performing at Brooklyn Bowl with Rupa & the April Fishes and the Brooklyn Raga Massive. I will be going tonight and once again taking pictures.
Of course, when photographing a full set from a band, you end up getting more shots than you end up using, so I thought why not revisit the past two years and see if I have any photo outtakes that were worth sharing. Check out a few from each show after the jump.
