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?
Tom Thumb & The Latter Day Saints @ TT The Bear’s Place, Cambridge 22.07.2006
The first band I caught, Tom Thumb & The Latter Day Saints, was as advertised – a folky rock sound. Nothing too remarkable about this band and the crowd seemed to feel the same way.
Frida Hyvonen @ TT The Bear’s Place, Cambridge 22.07.2006
Preceding Jens’ set was the aformentioned Frida Hynvonen. After setting her beer down on the piano, she remarked on the bass-thumping Middle East Downstairs club underneath TT’s. It didn’t seem to bother her too much as she went on to put on a great show, combining her beautiful voice with a certain lyrical whimsiness.
