311 Concert Photos – The Backyard 2006

timsdd — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:19:12 +0000

For a period of about 8months to a year (2006) I was given the chance to photograph several live music acts here in Austin, Texas.

I worked for a great little entertainment magazine Insite Austin.

While they weren’t able to pay me at least I got to see some cool acts for free and they used my images in their Insite Hinsdsite featured section.

This post and several following are some of the acts I got to shoot.
311 Was far and away to the most exciting and most well known of all the acts I got to cover….in fact, I was actually there specifically to shoot the opening act that night, Pepper! In talking with one of the concert goers during a downpour break, he encouraged me to get down there and slip into the same spot with my credentials (sticker) and have @ it with 311! And the guys working security let me!! :-)

This was the only solo act I have ever shot that I can recall. Good set and he really had some great facial expressions as he was singing, very entertaining.

Austin Texas Live Music Pictures: The Used

I think most everyone has heard of these guys, I mean not including myself! I was (or am) out of the loop on popular music!

The Used – As well known as these guys are, they are only the 2nd most popular act I’ve been able to shoot…stay tuned to find out who the most popular act was).

While I had never heard of them or any of their songs, they sure put on a good show. The lead singer (Bart?) was ALL over the place and then some. They played @ Stubb’s which is a pretty nice venue to shoot at. Most of the acts that play there are well known and they have a real stage with real lighting so that is a huge plus. The only drawback is that with the well know acts, you’re only alloweed to shoot @ stage level for the 1st 3 songs of the set. So you have to work fast and efficient.
