Posted by admin under Music, Photography
On Wednesday night I headed to Kung Fu Necktie to catch up with East Hundred. Check out the vlog, and the photos from the show. Another great night of music, thanks again to everyone from East Hundred for taking the time to hang with us. Sorry about the background noise in the video, we left the air conditioner running.

Mumford & Sons
May 16th TLA Philadelphia
What some have called the most coveted ticket of the year, Mumford & Sons made a stop on their first American headlining tour at TLA Sunday night in Philadelphia. I must say that this was one of the best concerts I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Sure the TLA did not have the photo pit set up, so it was a free for all and I swear everyone over six feet tall was standing between me and the stage.
The Middle East from Queensland, Australia opened the show. This was my first time seeing The Middle East and they were extremely enjoyable. They did a killer job getting the crowd ready for what was to come. There is something about a band with seven plus members, who all jump from one instrument to another. The only down side to their set was that it was too short- they got off to a late start supposedly because they somehow lost their drummer. Be sure to check these guys out HERE
As I was waiting for Mumford & Sons to take the stage, I talked to some of the people around me about their thoughts of Mumford & Sons and their excitement for the show. One person said, “I think I feel the same way my parents felt when the Beatles came to America for the first time”. It was from this statement that I knew this crowd was going to erupt as soon as they took to the stage… and that they did.
The lights dimmed and they opened with “Sigh No More”. They proceeded to move through their new album and sharing a couple of new songs along the way. At the start of “Little Lion Man”, Marcus Mumford busted a string and decided this would be the perfect time to share his experience taping Little Lion Man for one of the late night talk shows in LA. Within minutes the entire crowd was laughing hysterically. After performing an epic set at this sold out show, they returned to the stage for an encore with my personal favorite “White Blank Pages”.
This, by far, was one of the best shows I have seen in my life… yup in my life. These guys had a great time and are so thankful to be here doing what they love. If you have not had the pleasure of hearing Mumford & Sons look out for the next time they come around. This is a band you need to see.
Thanks to everyone at Glassnote Records for hooking me up with the pass at the last minute, it truly was an unforgettable experience.
Enjoy the photos,

Free Energy in Store at Main Street Music
Posted by admin under Photography
Philadelphia’s own Free Energy played an in store performance Saturday afternoon at Main Street Music in Manyunk for the release of their new album “Stuck On Nothing”. Thanks to Twitter I found out about this an hour before the show. I had no idea what to expect, Main Street Music is a great music /record shop but it’s tiny. Well it turned out to be killer, we all jammed in had some tomato pie, beer, and enjoyed a sweet acoustic set. They played a couple of tracks from their new album Stuck On Nothing along with a b-side and a rendition of And we Danced by The Hooters. Yup that’s right, another one of Philadelphia‘s own The Hooters. What more can you ask for on a Saturday afternoon, well the only thing I could have thought of at the time was moving the whole thing out on Main Street.
These guys have something special about them, you can see by the look on their face that they love this. Defiantly check them out they’ll be at the First Unitarian Church w/ Minature Tigers and Jukebox The Ghost May 28th. Then they’ll be back for XPN’s XPONENTIAL Music Festival Saturday July 17th
It was a great day of music thanks to Main Street Music, and Free Energy
Enjoy the photos

East Hundred @ Johnny Brendas May 1st 2010
Posted by admin under Photography
Saturday May 1st East Hundred was at Johnny Brenda’s. I sent an email to the band via myspce, asking if they would like to chat a little for the vlog. But as we all know myspace is just a haven for spam, so the request was not seen. I decided to head out anyway, and I’m so glad I did. I was a little late and missed the Swimmers, but I got there just in time to see Hungry Kids of Hungary. 
They were such a pleasant surprise, great songs, great harmonies, great band.Head over to www.myspace.com/hungrykidsofhungary and check them out, great band from Brisbane, Queensland Australia
East Hundred, they killed it. There really is not much to say, their music is hauntingly beautiful. After the show I had a quick chat with EH 
drummer Will Balir as we waited for a beer. We talked about getting together before the Kung Fu show, to shoot a little vlog. So if all goes as planned we will be at Kung Fu Necktie 5.26.2010 and you should be there too.
Till then check out some images and the band performing Plus Minus. So good! Thanks guys…..
