Surf Hat At MTelus

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  Montreal's MTelus was the host to a rock and roll feast a few weeks back.  The appetizer on this night came in the form of a terrific rock performance by Surf Hat.  They were certainly a very uplifting voice.  The smiles radiating from every member of the band was as infectious as the rocking grooves they were creating.  Surf Hat opened with “Automatic Years”, quickly followed with “Hang’em Up” and “The Gutter”.  This trifecta of songs gave us a small taste from each of their three albums.  Their most recent album, Modern World Blues, was released back in November.  It was a great intro to their sound for those that didn’t yet know them.  A short intro of The Tragically Hip’s “Ahead By A Century” got a rise from the crowd.  From that snippet, they continued into “Cats And Dogs”.  Before leaving the stage to “Surf Hat Ranch”, the band mentioned that they will be returning to Foufounes Électriques later this year.  The legendary venue is just a few doors down the street.  It’s almost a certainty that many of the fans from this night will be making the short walk down the street. All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Surf Hat as they performed up on the MTelus stage.
