I am totally in the tank for fun. They were great guys when I met them last year and they really impressed me with the way they carried themselves. Very down to earth. I think we could all do much worse as far as popular bands go. They write great songs with KILLER hooks and those songs deserve to be big hits. They are also a blast to photograph.

My only issue with this show is that we weren’t allowed in the very front of the center aisle at DAR so we had to shoot this show about 10 feet back from the stage. Not a big deal really, it just meant almost every shot was from the waist up since we had to shoot over the crowd and couldn’t use a stool. But that’s an issue with the venue more than an issue with the band. Tickets just went on sale for fun.’s show at Merriweather this summer, I’d love to get another crack at them there.
