Woods Of Ypres & Gwynbleidd @ The Bowery Electric 3/16/11

Another night of Metal goodness with Canadian doom-laden metallers Woods Of Ypres and NY's own folk metal outfit Gywnbleidd (Yay!). Fantastic sets by both bands! Really impressed with Woods. They brought a whole new energy to the albums I have become so familiar with over the past few months.

This was also the night of a BIG photography discovery: 'One should be always adjusting the ISO setting for each picture' ..Doh! Yea, I figured this about half way through Gwynbleidds set.  Better late than never, I guess!  At least now I feel like I have a little more control of how this phone takes photos.

But the bigger lesson learned here is: Don't quit my day job!

Even adjusting the ISO couldn't help me get a decent shot of their singer when hes standing in the shadows!

Let there be light!

Love this!

David come out of the darkness!

Still a little dark and blurry.. but it was kinda dark in there and they kept moving around..

Getting a little better

The Gwynbleidd & Fin'amor Birthday Bash @ Club Europa!! 02/04/11

OK, so I've been on bit of a hiatus, as it's been over 2 months since my last post (sorry kid's got a little busy.. or lazy :P)  But! I am happy to make the first post of the new year be a fantastic glimpse into my post birthday adventures with Gwynbleidd & friends!

So to start off, 1) Club Europa has terrible stage lighting and 2) I forgot to charge my camera phone battery..so I ended up cheating a bit and had to use my Canon Powershot to get the end of the show.  Don't worry though, my digital camera has the same crappy amount of megapixels as my phone, so the outcome wasn't any better.

Here we go!

Set change!

This is the point at which my Phone died and I had to pull out my backup digital camera.  Can you tell the difference?!

I will now give my shout outs to the bands that I didn't get pics of; Satevis and Praetorian:  

Satevis, I have no idea if you were good. I got hungry and made a pizza run during your set  ..sorry.

That guy from Praetorian who gave me a free demo, definitely a nice dude, ..though I will probably never get a chance to listen to it  ..doh.

Long story short, this couldn't have been any better. Great night out with friends and super excited that I finally got to take some shots of Gwynbleidd. Now all you headbangers get out! It's time for polish disco!!!
