The alter ego of LA based punk band (The Brox) Mariachi el Bronx put on a great show at Sasquatch 2011 and they have been hard touring all summer and this fall. Mariachi El Bronx is more than just a kitchey spin on punk.  It is a very good meld of English lyrics with a authentic Mexican sound.  Watch some of their videos and make up your own mind.

Here are some shots from their early summer Sasquatch performance.

Sasquatch Music Festival has been a blast the last two years.  But for this year I thought I would try something different.  I eased off the throttle and shot less.  Stayed more hydrated and cataloged my film better.

But more importantly I shot portraits.  They were simply putting people behind the Yeti stage in some grape vines and grabbing a set of shots with my Mamiya medium format camera.  What seems nice about them is the square format.  It is a shape we don’t see all that often anymore.  The not so good part is the fact that the shadows are really harsh.  Next year I will need to bring a bounce!!

Thanks to all the artists that allowed me to shoot them.
