The Wong Way
Back in July 2006, I bought my first digital SLR camera. The very next day, I brought it with me to Siren Festival in Coney Island. Although the shots from that concert didn't turn out too hot - too far away, too much of a novice with the camera - I wasn't deterred from future attempts at concert shooting. Ultimately, I decided to start a musicblog, titled The Wong Way, featuring photos I took from the concerts I went to. It ran regularly from July 2006 to December 2006 and while I'd like to start it back up some day, I prefer to just enjoy concerts from the sidelines. But who knows what the future will bring, right?
Asobi Seksu @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 19.07.2006
Asobi Seksu, though technically a shoegazing band, is very pop-friendly. Combining the sound of shoegazing rock with frontwomen Yuki’s mix of Japanese and English, utilizing different deliveries make for a unique and, more importantly, beautiful sound. I saw them the first time in June on a lark, having heard a few songs off their latest album, Citrus. They’re a good band to see live – an added bonus is the upgrade in venue from Mercury Lounge in June to Bowery Ballroom this time.
