The Warning At Place Bell

What were you doing when you were in your mid-teens to early twenties?  I was reading comic books and playing video games.  But, the three sisters of The Warning, aged 20, 18 and 15 respectively, are not like you and me.  They were up on the stage at Place Bell in Laval while thousands of people where cheering and singing along with them.  They've already released three albums, the most recent of which, Error, was released earlier this Summer, and have toured the World.  They first gained a measure of fame back in 2014 (when the youngest member of the group was 9!) when they did a cover of Metallica's monster hit, Enter Sandman.  The song was viewed more than 20 million times and eventually helped to land them a record contract.  They performed the song again last year, with singer Alessia Cara, as part of the Metallica Black List tribute album.  Since then, The Warning has been everywhere, and people can't get enough of them.  They were in Laval this past Sunday, opening the show for Three Days Grace.  It's usually at this point that I would mention how they made a lot of new fans with their performance, but a quick glance of the crowd while walking to and from our shooting position showed that, based on the amount of The Warning t-shirts I saw people wearing, they already had a pretty big group of fans to begin with.  These young ladies were awesome and I can't wait to see, and hear, more from them in the future.  The first photograph was taken at  f/3.2, 1/320sec, ISO 4000 at 27mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/640sec, ISO 4000 at 70mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about The Warning and their music, you can do so by following the link to their website.  If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of Three Days Grace, who headlined the show, you can do so by following this link.  I big thank you to band manager Rudy Joffroy for getting me a pass to shoot the show.  As always, it was very much appreciated.  We're only at the beginning of The Warning's musical journey and I can't wait to see where it will take us.
