BFD 2010 :: Street Portraits (Best Friends Day Edition)

by | Aug 27, 2010 | PHOTOGRAPHY

These photos were taken during and after the Andrew W.K./Municipal Waste show in a shallow puddle of mud under a bridge. I wasn’t one of the lucky thousand to get a ticket, so I set up a white background outside the show and experienced the music vicariously. Not all of the photos are of people who were at the show, but who cares? A Friday night portrait is a Friday night portrait right? To everyone who was nice enough to be nice –thank you! and if you are reading this Randy, hit me up. I know you need a new tour photographer!

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.

Photos | Palm Palm Baptized The Camel in Rock and Glam

You know you’re in the right place when half the crowd looks like they just walked offstage somewhere else. That was the scene last weekend at The Camel. This wasn’t just another local gig—it was a sweat-soaked, whiskey-laced sermon delivered by Palm Palm. J Roddy...

Photos | Maynard James Keenan and the Sessanta Tour in Virginia

A few weeks ago, we talked to Maynard James Keenan about the Sessanta tour — this strange, layered fever dream of a show stitched together with parts of A Perfect Circle, Tool, and Primus. When asked what it all meant, he didn’t blink. “You just do,” he said. No big...

Photos | Remi Wolf Packs Out Richmond With a Wild, Joyful Riot

Last weekend in Richmond, Remi Wolf took Brown’s Island and didn’t give it back. Her sound doesn’t fit in a box — pop, funk, soul, indie — all smashed together and dragged through the dirt. Openly fluid, proudly weird, she’s built a world where you don’t ask...

Photos | Swing, Sweat, Repeat: Caravan Palace at 9:30 Club

Caravan Palace hit 9:30 Club in DC a weeks ago and blew the place open to a packed house. No speeches, no slow build — just lights up, beats heavy, and bodies moving. The French group has made a name twisting swing and electronic into something reckless and alive, and...

Municipal Waste | 25 Years of No Mercy

When you think of Richmond’s heavy music scene, four names immediately come to mind: Lamb of God, GWAR, Avail, and Municipal Waste. These are the bands that have bled into the city’s veins and shaped the sound of this place over the last several decades. And this past...

Styles P Shines, But So Do We

The room was charged the moment the doors opened. Richmond showed up ready—you could feel it in the air, like the bassline of a song you know by heart. And at the center of it all stood The Ghost himself: Styles P. Live at Ember Music Hall. A masterclass in presence,...
