Last week I headed to Arrow Hall to cover Vans Warped Tour for AUX. The rain stopped just as I showed up to deliver a day full of screaming fans, flying hair, and LOUD MUSIC. Bands included in the photo set are: We the Kings, Andrew WK, Parkway Drive, Whitechapel, Enter Shikari, Bring Me The Horizon, Eyes Set to Kill and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book, Newmindspace put on Toronto’s 5th Annual Bubble Battle at Queen’s Park – July 3, 2010.
For the last day of NXNE, I headed back to Yonge & Dundas Square to capture the Hip-Hop heavy schedule of Big Freedia, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Kid Sister and ending the evening (and festival) off with Long Island Legends, De La Soul. Shot for AUX.
While every photographer in the city seemed to be shooting one of two concerts (Iggy & the Stooges’ free Yonge & Dundas Square Concert and the Olympic Island Show) on Saturday night, I chose to head over to a private BBQ hosted by Joao Carvalho. This was his 5th Mastering NXNE BBQ – put on as a way to show his appreciation to all who made the journey to the NXNE Music Festival. With 15 bands performing as well as free food and beer, how could I not pass this up?
Knowing I had a few very busy days worth of shooting during NXNE, I decided to take it easy the second night and photograph one of my favourite folk/alternative artists, A.A. Bondy with Avi Buffalo starting the night off at the Great Hall – June 18, 2010. Shot for AUX.
