Ugly Men Show, Ayotte's Ayotte Kit, and Servo

On March 19th, at the Media Club in Vancouver, BC, Canada, a three piece band that goes by the name "Ugly Men" had their Album release party and I was invited to come shoot.  On the bill was 4 bands; No Operator, Quartered, Ugly Men and Exes for Eyes.  All the sets were high octane, energetic, and loud!  I've shot shows and sometimes the 3 song limit seems like forever, but with all these guys, a 45 minute set just screamed by, which I shot the whole time.  Big thanks to Jonathan Wu from Ugly Men for having me down.  Aside from the Primus type grooves, I was treated to a great cover of Motorhead's Ace of Spades!  Check them out!







On March 6th I was invited out to Falconetti's on Comercial Drive in Vancouver, BC to shoot  Van City Soul Quartet's new line up for 2015.  I was surprised and happy to see an old friend Ray Ayotte drumming with them.  I met Ray years ago when our bands at the time played a show together.  He's a class act and always enjoy chatting with him.  Here is a shot of his small stage kit that seems to have people talking!



And here is a promo shot I did for a band that calls themselves Servo.  Great group of guys and I am really digging their album as I can hear the influences of Deep Purple, Yes, Hendrix, Cream, Sabbath all mixed in there with an assortment of others!  Check them out when you get the chance at  https://servoband.bandcamp.com/
