Simple Plan @ MTS Centre Winnipeg MB

So its new blog time!!! I know I know its been awhile since I have posted anything but this winter has been kinda nuts. Slow on the show from but busy on the other photography front! I got into this show very last minute and thanks to some amazing string pulling I was able to shoot it! 

This was my first time being able to shoot or even get to see Simple Plan and I have to say they put on a very good show. The amount of energy these guys bring to the stage is incredible! I have always had a soft spot in my heart for some good pop punk and these guys have it down pat!!! Hope everyone enjoys the photos!

BLINK 182

All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!!! I finally got the chance to shoot Blink 182. Now I wont dispute the fact that these guys are in their prime anymore but they still have one hell of a live show and some hilarious banter. I love the fact that they have not really grown up at all over all these years despite going through some pretty shitty times. The new record is great it has gotten more then afew plays at home since it came out. Being able to watch Travis drum was definatly one of the hightlights of my summer! I know I know some naysayers may say he is all flash and they know better drummers but I really dont give a shit. This man can KILL IT on the drums! It was a great show and the photos are definatly going to get printed and more then afew will end up on my wall! Hope everyone enjoys!!!

RANCID

Rancid has been one of my favourite bands since I was 14 years old. I have seen them acouple times in venues such as the warped tour, or other large festivals so FINALLY being able to see them in a "smaller" type venue was amazing. This band being around for as long as they have been have not lost a beat! Tim Armstrong was a fireball of energy from the onset of the set. Matt Freeman was "slappn" da bass as only he can hands down one of the best bass players on the scene. Lars Fredrickson just well he was Lars and just killed it onstage. I really am at a loss of words its something you have to see in person to understand how great this band still is!
