I found myself at the Théâtre Beanfield last Friday for the big Sebastian Bach show, photographs of which you will can see by following the link. The concert opened with a high energy set from
Los Angeles rockers, The Bites. They
proclaim that sex, drugs & rock n’ roll are their languages and that they
probable speak those better than they do English. Their brand of rock and roll fit in perfectly
for the evening and they set the mood perfectly for the good time that was to
come. For a brief moment, I feared that The Bites were were getting a show from a "joke band", as singer Jordan Tyler just seemed impossibly upbeat and there was a brief comedy interlude, but those negative thoughts were quickly binned as the band got on with their songs and transported us back to what a rocking concert from 1986 would have been like. With a self-
described sound that is a "monster hybrid of breathtaking garage rock rhythms, gargantuan
choruses that stay in your head for days, an unashamedly retro", all you can do when the music starts is to raise your arms in the air and start banging your head until the next song begins to so you can continue the awesome experience all over again. Hopefully The Bites
continue to grow and make their way back here one day as they were an absolute
joy to experience. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/160sec, ISO 6400 at 200mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/320sec, ISO 6400 at 70mm. Here are several more photographs of The Bites from their rocking performance.
