I help artists make things and I make art of my own through photography. Read my "About Me" for more info.

Slothrust

Rough Trade NYC Brooklyn, New York November 1, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) I love Slothrust. I’ve seen them play nearly every club and venue around NYC over the last three years, even caught them in Austin at SXSW a couple years back. I’d say they were my favorite Brooklyn-based band, but now they’re relocated to Los Angeles, I cannot say that anymore. This was their record release show for their brand new album, Everyone Else and it is a very good album, indeed.  I shot this show for my pals at Homoground. Very stoked to have the band share these on their networks and repost on Instagram:

Being a brat at our record release at @roughtradenyc the other night, cool. Tonight we play Asbury Park, tomorrow we play Baltimore!! Sold out so DM for list spots bc we 👹 U. 📸 Haley Rosenblum 👒

Dilly Dally

Warsaw Brooklyn, New York November 4, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) Dilly Dally are one of my favorite musical discoveries of the year. Their album Sore is solid from first track to last, and their stand-out single “Desire” is infectious. I first saw them live in Austin at their Spotify House set (which I later learned was recorded as a Spotify Session). I saw them again a few months later at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan, I knew that I wanted to photograph them when they came back to New York and so here’s a set from their gig opening for Grouplove.  I shot this show for my pals at Homoground and was stoked to see the band ReTweet and RePost one of my pictures on Twitter and Instagram.   

Disgusting hangs in BK last night, and now gonna crush up this Hammerstein Ballroom 💋NYC💋 {photo credit @homoground)

Julien Baker Music Hall of Williamsburg Brooklyn, New York September 24, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr)

It’s not that Julien’s stage presence is anything out of the ordinary, it’s that her songs are. They are beasts that she belts as she stands solo on a stage in front of a sold out crowd, they have enough power and delicacy to command attention - complete and full attention - of everyone in the crowd. The crowd was so quiet while she sang and strummed her guitar, you could hear a pin drop. I felt guilty with each click of the shutter at this show because the room was so quiet, I dared not to disturb those around me or the songs themselves and so I was conservative with the amount of photographs I took at this show. I said it the last time I posted photos of Julien and I’ll say it again, if you have a chance to see her perform live, you should most certainly go.

The Dresden Dolls Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Brooklyn, New York August 27, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) The Dresden Dolls played their biggest headlining show to date last weekend at the new Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island, which has a capacity of 5,000 people. I love The Dresden Dolls, their crew, their extended art-family and their fans. It was so amazing to run into so many friends and to experience the rock love energy in such a large space. The Dolls are EXPLOSIVE live, Amanda and Brian’s chemistry on stage is unlike anything else and it’s an absolutely privilege to be able to see them perform live together - these days, a rare opportunity not to be missed.

Amanda Palmer & Jack Palmer  Le Poisson Rouge New York, New York July 20, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) Night 2 of Amanda Palmer’s show with her father Jack on their You Got Me Singing tour. They were backed by Thor Harris with his new band, Thor and Friends.

Jim Ward  HiFi Bar NYC New York, New York July 15, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr)

The first time I saw Jim Ward play was in 2002 at Jones Beach on Long Island, when Sparta was opening for Weezer. 14 years later, it was such a joy to see him play at HiFi, in such a small space. He played mostly solo songs and threw in some Sleeper Car and Sparta. It was such a treat.

Julien Baker Bowery Ballroom New York, New York April 26, 2016

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) If you get the chance to see Julien Baker perform live, my advice to you: go. The show was opened by Petal and Phoebe Bridgers. Phoebe joined Julien on stage for one song, and then Sharon Van Etten joined in for the encore.

Catching up with the #KickstarterMusic team at SXSW: Part 2

Check out Part 1 right over here. 

10. You probably heard Michelle Obama did a keynote…

11. But did you see how many people were waiting for the escalator?

12. We took a time out to watch the fabulous 68-year-old wild man Iggy Pop crowd surf and play a seriously epic show alongside Josh Homme.

13. The weather has been pretty glorious, at least in the opinion of these New Yorkers. (Brooklyn, we love you, but we’re not sad to be in the Texas warmth this week.)

14. Molly had a blast moderating a panel about the pros and cons of making music without a label, and we live tweeted it on @KickstarterTips.

15. Hayley moderated a panel about independent hip hop, chatting with Brandon Hixon, founder of We Make Music and manager of De La Soul (pictured here), Run the Jewels and El-P’s manager Amaechi Uzoigwe, and Naomi Zeichner, editor-in-chief of The FADER.

16. And speaking of The FADER, some some great acts took the stage at the Fader Fort.

17. Oh. Did we mention there’s a lot of people here? Here’s a peek at the ghost town that is 6th Street at midnight (on St. Patrick’s Day, no less)…

18. Sid’s computer joined us for every meal (we promise we did not get any BBQ sauce on the keyboard), but it finally got exhausted and tried to take a nap in the hotel lobby as she sent pictures back to HQ.

We also ran into the folks from Pico Brew, and spotted an Oculus in the wild!

Keep following along with us at #KickstarterSXSW, or learn more about music on Kickstarter via #KickstarterMusic. Cheers to all the incredible musicians, filmmakers, artists, and innovators who’ve brought their energy and creativity to Austin. We hope you’re having as much fun as we are! <3

Catching Up with the #KickstarterMusic Team at SXSW: Part 1

1. Welcome to Austin, Kickstarter! We spotted Kickstarter creator Charlie Faye at the Austin Airport.

2. Once we got into town, we kicked off our time in the Texan capital by checking out some rad bands at the Hype Hotel.

3. Patrick O’Neill, the founder of OlloClip, shared some stories about the company’s history (and made our iPhones a little cooler. Thanks, Patrick!). Fun fact: when OlloClip ran their first Kickstarter, Patrick’s daughter noticed that tons of backers wanted their rewards shipped to a mysterious place called “Infinite Loop”…

4. We hopped into NASA space suits because we love you to the moon and back and wanted to make you smile. :)

5. Hayley talked on a panel called “You Can’t Pay Bills with Facebook Likes” (and Sid wrote about it).

6. We ate tasty, tasty food. (Not pictured: waffle fry poutine.)

7. The Smart Studios Story documentary screened, and we hung out with director Wendy Schneider and producers Butch Vig and Kerry Brown. AMAZE.

8. We ran into friends.

9. And we learned that everything really is bigger in Texas, including the garnishes on your Bloody Mary.

Hey, we’re not done yet! Follow along with us via #KickstarterSXSW, and check back for a second installation of our adventures in Austin coming soon!

L7 Warsaw Brooklyn, New York September 9, 2015

(See more of my photos from this show here on Flickr) It was so special to photograph L7′s sold out show in Brooklyn this past September on their reunion tour. The energy on stage and in the crowd was intense, you could feel the excitement resonating in the room. L7 is back and as fierce as ever.
