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?
¡Forward, Russia! @ CMJ Music Marathon, KEXP Live in NYC, Gigantic Studios, NYC 02.11.2006
¡Forward, Russia! made a trip to KEXP’s New York City home away from home at Gigantic Studios. These guys are really good – insanely good. Despite being confined to a radio station studio, they still managed to “explore the space” with manic and wild movements. They bantered well with the DJ with the best moment coming when the DJ brought up their tribute band, ¡Give Me A Tree!. Lead vocal Tom and guitarist Whiskas, realizing that the DJ did her research on Wikipedia, jokingly threatened to put up fake information on their Wikipedia entry in the hope that it would someday be referenced in a future interview with them – good times!
