Best Music Photography 2008
(from Chicago)
If I had to put together my top shows of 2008, there would be some I don’t have photos of, like Low at the Metro or The Raveonettes at the Empty Bottle, for example. I’ve been lucky enough to get to see many shows over the course of the last year that I did enjoy, however. Caribou was probably the favorite show I went to this year but perhaps only because PJ Harvey didn’t play in Chicago for the White Chalk tour. Entrance at the bottle was another great show as well as Jamie Lidell at Pitchfork, Blonde Redhead at Lolla, Deerhunter at the Empty Bottle.
I’ve put together a set of over one hundred photos (most recent photos first) from over the course of the year, which involved a careful narrowing down of literally thousands of photos. The set includes everything from Aimee Mann to The Besnard Lakes. Interpol, Yo La Tengo, Stephen Malkmus, The Pipettes, Keren Ann, and MIA are also there amongst others. Above photo is from Juliette Lewis and the Licks at Lolla. All photos are larger when viewed as a set.
Thanks everyone for your support in 2007!
