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?
Sia @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 21.11.2006
Setlist:
Sunday / Don’t Bring Me Down / Pictures / Blow It All Away / Destiny / I Go to Sleep (The Pretenders) / Dreaming / Breathe Me / Electric Bird / Lentil / Distractions /// Pageant of the Bizarre (Zero 7) / Sommersault
Originally booked to play Webster Hall, Sia ended up at a sold-out Bowery Ballroom after Beirut’s show was cancelled. It’s safe to say that the fans who were able to get tickets were thankful with the venue change. I don’t know if the larger and less intimate Webster Hall would have been ideal for her performance.
