Gene Simmons @ CHUM Fan Fest
Another Canadian Music Fest/Week has come and gone and I’m just recovering from running around for 6 days straight. I shot 24 bands in that span and will have some new stuff up shortly! In the meantime, here’s a shot of Gene Simmons, CMW’s keynote speaker, who was pretty much everywhere the whole week.
More to come soon!
September 27 2007 @ MTV - Toronto, ON
When I found out that Ben Harper was coming to town for two shows at Massey Hall, I was pretty excited–that is, until I found out I’d already committed to other shows those evenings. Luckily, he was also making a stop at MTV for an interview and to perform a few songs off his new album, Lifeline. You can watch the interview here, but for some reason the live performance isn’t available.
I was initially turned on to Ben back in university, when, after a night of debauchery, a friend was hanging out at my place and started to sing “Burn One Down.” I remember being immediately taken by it and asked him who sang it. The next day I hit the record store to check the song out and ended up buying Harper’s first two albums, and have loved him since. I was a little disappointed that he didn’t play “Burn One Down” at MTV, but can’t complain too much, since I’d heard it live at Bonnaroo just a few months earlier (pics from that show will come eventually).
