Rick,
Very gritty pictures.
The singer in the second shot reminds me of Janice Joplin.
And one can only imagine what their name signifies.
Great stuff.

The singer looks like a force of nature. Very attractive subject and rendition. Thank you.

Rick, you captured the precious "moments musicaux" really well.  I love the out-of-the-box kind of framing of #3 which should be so fitting to the music you were listening to.

Cool series that captures the feeling. Apart from the drummer in the third. They are always so hidden.

cheers

Thanks for all of the comments.

I was a punk once- maybe I still am at heart, because I love the music.  The art is not dead, it has just evolved.  Giant Kitty played a fast, loud, and short set.  The place was rocking.

Punk's not dead!
