Wye Oak the Baltimore based band opened for The National at the Neptune in Seattle.  This is the third time I had the chance to see Wye Oak. I was able to get some shots of them at Sasquatch this last spring as well as Seattle at the Crocodile.  There has been a movement it seems in Indie bands over the last 10 years of the “2-Piece”.

Wye Oak does something that is different. Lead guitarist Jenn Wasner play guitar as loud screaming instrument meant to bleed over everything including her touching and vulnerable lyrics. Here is a link to some photos of them at The Crocodile last August.

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.
