Nastie Band 10 years of getting Nastie with it 🖤

Philadelphia Ink & Dagger Halloween, complete! Didn’t take any pics at the show ‘cause I was too busy embarrassing myself up front. @mpberdan singing Philapsychosis...incredible. Seeing my old friend Erik read passages from the book he wrote about Sean McCabe and Ink & Dagger was so awesome. It’s coming out with the box set. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That’s how I felt about Sean, this band, and growing up at shows in ’90s Philadelphia. Erik described theirs and Philly’s spirit back then perfectly- love, chaos and everything in between. Going back to the First Unitarian, seeing a new generation of R5 working the door, and running into old friends who were staples at shows back then felt like a dream. Hearing from friends in other countries over this whole thing was unreal. Huge thanks to every single person that contributed to making this all come ⭕️🖤 @inkanddaggerofficial @dailymiltonian #philadelphiafuturesocietyofvampires #inkanddagger

These are just a few of my favorite performance shots and from Basilica Soundscape a few weeks ago featuring: Ho99o9, Deafheaven, Billy Woods, Maria Somerville, Fckers, YATTA, Sigrid Lauren & Katelyn Reece Farstad, Sloppy Jane and Vines- And a portrait of the brains behind it all. It was my 10th year photographing Basilica Soundscape a few weeks ago and the offical 10 year anniversary of it’s inception. It’s been such a trip to shoot this weekend of music, reading and art expand each year, to capture friends kids grow from toddlers into teenagers and to see many of the same people working behind the scenes year after year to all make this work. I feel incredibly lucky to document it. #basilicasoundscape

1: You could say I’m pretty pretty pretty excited to go home for Halloween 🩸 2: I finally found them @secret_life_of_franks

Maine, Summer 2025

Shooting Black Sabbath when they reunited in 2013 meant everything to me. My mom and dad didn’t know each other yet but it was their first concert as teenagers. They were a staple in my house and in my life. I’m from a working class family and had a learning disability. Thank god I found something I was good at. Ozzy was an inspiration to me and millions of others. What a fantastic, singular life for a dyslexic guy from a working class England. Ok, I’ll stop now but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t cry yesterday like a fucking psycho.

“REMAINS: COMPOUND” curated by Matthew Barney and Brandon Stosuy in collaboration with Brian Jungen, Raven Chacon, Kelly Moran, and Jake Stosuy. Musician Kelly Moran performed on piano and assisted Jake Stosuy in another room as he shot clay pigeons against wall and created drawings. Artist, Brian Jungen led a group of four archers to shoot approximately 143 arrows into the piano while musician and composer, Raven Chacon processed LIVE sounds from both spaces. #performanceart #experimentalart #matthewbarneystudio #archery #hockey #experimentalmusic

I hadn’t seen John in many years but we’d keep in touch through here every so often. He was always so kind and supportive. I’d look at his paintings mystified and think “I can’t believe I know someone this talented.” I guess I’ve been in shock and a bit of denial since @goghtohell called to give me the news. I wasn’t able to have a good cry about it until @bradjennings666 texted this morning. I had so much fun hanging out on the floor he and Montuori had their studios on and goofing around at band practice for the one second I was in Cocaine & Abel with him and the boys. I had no idea what I was doing and had stage fright but they included me anyway. There are so many people that were closer to him, people that I love, and my heart is going out to all of them.

@tvontheradio played the final night of their residency at Webster Hall on Saturday 11/30 in honor of the 20th anniversary of Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes. Bartees Strange opened for them with a gorgeous solo set. (I’ve been listening to his new single on repeat.) #tvontheradio #tvotr #barteesstrange #websterhall #concertphotography

My favorite photo from shooting TV on the Radio performing the final show of their week-long residency at Webster Hall, NYC, on Saturday 11/30. Full gallery coming tomorrow. I’m gonna be emotional for a minute… I moved to Brooklyn 23 years ago as a photo student and would go to The Verb Cafe to do my homework. The person working there did me a kindness; he brought over me a piece of pie when I was having a bad day. That person was Kyp. He was one of the first people I met here. Nothing feels so wonderful as watching someone accomplish what they set out to do and then be blown away by what they create with others and watch them grow. We’d run into each other over the years, and he remained the same thoughtful person I’d first met.   I asked him to shoot this show and then talked myself out of it. I was out of practice shooting concerts. Had a new camera that I wasn’t as familiar with. I didn’t want to fail. He didn’t forget, though, and came through for me. I’m grateful that he didn’t because I got in touch with a part of my heart I hadn’t felt in a long time. 23 years of random acts of kindness… Thank you @luvandoverstanding 💜   #kypmalone #tvontheradio #tvotr #websterhall #websterhallnyc #concertphotography
