Eagulls
Eagulls were definitely better in a small club (Lee's Palace), and the comparison was easy to make since they played the same exact set here as they did two nights earlier. Duplicating set lists, however, revealed how similar all of their songs sound. And my girlfriend thinks frontman George Mitchell is dick-ish.

Direct from Leeds, it's Eagulls!
Not the group with the old dicks that hate each other and charge you $200/ticket.
May 14, 2014 // Eagulls, Twin Peaks at Rock & Roll Hotel (Washington, DC) Photos by Clarissa Villondo // Article on Brightest Young Things Full Photo Set on Flickr
Earlier this year, I joined Nicholas Karlin on his U Street Music Hall shoot of The Orwells and Twin Peaks. I'll admit that I was very jealous he was able to shoot that show. It was the type of shoot that I loved to do, despite how dangerous it could be to my camera body/human body. When I heard that Twin Peaks was coming back to DC and that I had the opportunity to shoot it, I was beyond excited. Nicholas came back from that shoot with over 100 photos he was beyond happy with from the bands to the crowd nearly destroying (maybe actually destroying) U Street Music Hall. I was expecting the same sort of insane crowd/musician interaction.
That didn't seem to happen this time around at Rock & Roll Hotel and I was disappointed. Twin Peaks still had a great set that I fully enjoyed but photographing wise, the crowd wasn't the best. Again, I was expecting to have someone crowd surf on top of me, not be able to move around, etc. I have a feeling the crowd was lacking in energy due to it being in the middle of the work week, but I'm not entirely sure. (Eagulls were okay, but I can't comment due to that time I was more caring about the fact that I was hungry more than the fact that I was at a show.)
I shot part of Twin Peaks' show with my D700, flash and switching between a 50mm 1.4 and 35-70 3.3. During Eagulls, they had mainly low red light with a projector so I put my flash away to maintain their integrity of their visual set. All of the images were red in color and turned into black and white images as I exported.
Nicholas shot for himself so you can view his photos on his photo blog. Who shot this show better?
