Update

It's been a while since I updated this blog, and you have my sincere apologies. May was a busy month, both in terms of shooting and simply living - there were concerts to attend, and bachelor parties to survive.So now we find ourselves in June, deeply anticipating the coming summer. Although if the current weather is any indication, summer feels like it's ages away yet.

But you're not here to listen to me lament my lack of free time, so here's some new photos from a show I shot last weekend at The Red Room in Vancouver. The Lord Weird Slough Feg was in town, and local boys Funeral Circle opened up the night for them.

Funeral Circle unleashed a pounding, tortured set, featuring a new line-up, and some classic Doom Metal with a cover of an old Witchfinder General tune. Here's a link to the full set of Funeral Circle photos over on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmking/sets/72157624050161311/



The Lord Weird Slough Feg followed, pumping out the classics from albums such as Traveller, Down Among The Deadmen and Ape Uprising for their 20th anniversary tour. Mike Scalzi's vocals soared, drums were pounded, and guitar leads and solo's were thrown out so haphazardly that the only analogy I can use to describe the situation is that it felt a bit like watching a parade go past, with tantalizing sticky sweet bits of candy being hurled at your face in rapid fire. Only rather than having said candy stick to you, it instead melted your face, because with solos being in such abundance, well, faces were bound to be melted.

As you can clearly see in that last photograph, faces were, indeed, melted. Here's the links to the full set of Slough Feg images over on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmking/sets/72157624189749508/

And with that, I leave you until next time, which I promise won't be nearly so long as my last absence.
