HIM was one of the acts that performed at Projekt Revolution this past summer, along with My Chemical Romance, Placebo, Saosin and headliners Linkin Park, among others. I’d never seen HIM before, but had heard they were pretty good to shoot. Maybe I caught them on an off day, though, because Ville Valo basically stood at the mic fairly sedate, with a cigarette dangling from his hand for the three songs we were shooting. Many of the photos in this set are similar for that reason.

It’s Canadian Music Week (CMW) here in Toronto, which is the time of year things really start to pick up. I’ve already shot Gogol Bordello and The Hives this week, and will be adding a number of other bands to the list, including one of my faves, Hawksley Workman. Hopefully I’ll find a few new acts that catch my eye (or more accurately, my lens), because as it stands, most of the bands I want to check out I’ve already seen a few times. Updates might become sparse over the next few days due to lack of time and the need to actually sleep. If you’re in Toronto, hopefully you’ll get out to a few shows…say hi if you see me (if you don’t know me, just say hi to any female photog with a ponytail).

And last but not least, I forgot to mention in my last post that Live Baby Live turned one on March 2nd! Time flies!
