the Get Up Kids
So, I was asked to shoot this pretty last-minute, and didn’t realize how packed this would be. Also, Emo’s lighting kinda sucks, and I wanted to catch the Headlights/Pomegranites show going on inside (will edit/post those pics asap). I nevertheless managed to have some major fun.
Spoon’s bassist was playing with them last night; don’t know if this was a one-time deal or what, but he was a bit tentative at times… it was funny to watch him glance at the guitarist, as if for guidance, occasionally.
(ETA Ok, so I don’t know anything about 90’s punk. Yes, Rob Pope started out with these guys… dunno, maybe he was drunk last night? Or had an argument with someone before? But he was def. hesitant at times, and sorta cranky about something.
And after doing my research, I can wish I had gotten over to the other side of the stage to shoot James Dewees.)
As usual, click the photos to see some more from the show @ my Flickr.

Spoon’s bassist was playing with them last night? Please. Spoon is lucky to have Mr. Pope on loan for the bass.
Eh, that’s what I get for not doing my research on a band I haven’t listened to before… Every time I’ve seen Spoon in the past year, he’s been with them, so I assumed.
