Real Estate Performs at Baby's All Right, Williamsburg

New Jersey's Real Estate, closed a sold out show at South Williamsburg's Baby's All Right Saturday night. A show that included Chicago's Bare Mutant, as well as Free Time and Turnip King. Alex Bleeker, the band's bassist, arrived about a 1/2 hour late and apologized about 5 times to the fans, some still in winter coats waiting patiently for the guys to take the stage. All was forgiven though, as the band, along with guitarist Matt Mondanile, played a long and excellent set. Mondanile, a seriously skilled guitarist, was the shining stand out of the evening. Look up Ducktails for more on his other band. Admittedly, this was my first time seeing Real Estate live but I'm stoked I scored a last minute ticket(thanks Deniss!) and was able to snap some shots. I'm a bigger fan now. For more on Real Estate, check out their most current album, "Days" and here's some pix from Saturday's show.

iphone: Bloc Party & The Drums

Here's a few shots I snagged of The Drums and Bloc Party. I took these with my iphone at the sold out August 8th concert at Terminal 5 in New York City. While there is quite a bit of noise(film grain) in these photos, you have to give the iphone 4s some credit. It performs very well in these conditions. This is a phone, people! My phone did this! My iphone video from the show is HD(1080) and can be seen here. From the front row, without a photo pass? These are pretty decent results from a cell phone, if you ask me.
