As previously mentioned, my latest photo pass got me in the doors of the Théâtre Corona in Montreal. The headline act was Toronto dance-punk duo Death From Above. The band originally got together in the early 2000's, took a hiatus in 2006 and then returned in full force back in 2011. I was a little late to the party, but have been a fan since picking up their album 'Outrage! Is Now' a few years back. This show was a celebration of the release of their first EP, 'Heads Up' from 2002 with some of their other hits sprinkled into the setlist as well. The band consists simply of a drummer/vocalist and a bassist/keyboard player, and it works perfectly. The lighting for the show was definitely less
consistent than the opener (Murray A. Lightburn...click for the photos). I kind of had a moment of panic as I knew that I was only there for three songs, and the longest one was a little over two minutes. I was desperately trying to get the right shutter speed so that the band wouldn't be out of focus. However, my fast fingers ended up being up to the task and I think I walked out with some pretty cool photographs, living up to the challenge. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8 1/200sec, ISO 3200 at 24mm and the second photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/100sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm. Here are several more photographs that I took during the performance.

As with all good things, this one also ended way to quickly. Three songs goes by so quickly, but I'm very thankful to have earned a pass to the show. As I always say, here's hoping that there will be more in my future.
