Kennedy Greenrod performed with The Thin Man at the Burning Whale benefit last Friday night, held at Bridgeport Chicago’s Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Sad to hear about the death of Blue Cheer bassist and vocalist Dickie Peterson.

The rock band called Art Brut will be in Chicago for a 5 night run at Schubas, starting tomorrow, June 8th. On Tuesday the support act is Team Band, who used a photograph of mine for their latest release, Vodka Thieves. The picture  above was taken at the Hideout Block Party in 2007.

This Saturday at the Hideout, be sure not to miss The Eternals with On You. Below, a live shot of dynamic Eternals vocalist Damon Locks, and a publicity photo of On You’s Stan Wood and Jamie Drier (it was Stan and Jamie’s inspired idea to parody Annie Leibovitz’s John and Yoko Rolling Stone cover).

sly stone Sly Stone: digging deep in the archives

Way back in 1982, fresh out of high school, I brought my Nikkormat to suburban Chicago bar Haymakers to see the brilliant soul/funk/psychedelic hitmaker, Sly Stone. Notorious for not showing up to gigs, fortunately he made it to the show that night, and I shot a couple rolls of Kodacolor, beginning my music photography career. He’ll be back in Chicago next month.

Here’s my most recent live music shot; Monotonix at the Empty Bottle, 3/28/08. Haggai Fershtman pictured.
