So Mr CC and I went to a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert last Sunday. I had plans to post this big long post detailing the general fuckawesomeness of the concert, but alas this week kicked me in the nads and I didn't get around to it. So instead here's some of the photos we both took set to "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" from their new album of the same name. The wide angle shots and shots of Leah Shapiro, their drummer, are MrCC's. The close ups of Robert Levon Been and Peter Hayes are mine.
Enjoy!

WOW!!!!! Incredible photos...the music is awesome. You were sooo close and the lighting behind them was incredible. They can all be printed up for their concert photo album.
very cool! Great pics. Did you send them to the band?
Wow, guys. Those are some seriously good pictures!! I'm really super impressed. I've been to a lot of shows and I've never come off with such great pictures. Fucking awesome.
I'm also very jealous you got to see BRMC. I really wanted to check them out and have been thwarted thus far.
Awesome!
WAIT A MINUTE!!! Is one of them smoking on stage?! Where the fuck do you live that smoking is still allowed inside?!
@MrsP - Thanks! I'm pretty much obsessed with them after seeing them live. The lighting was really great and was actually done by Robert Levon Been's dad.
@mmMoxie - um...no I haven't. Not sure how.
@JJ - All the best pics were mine ;) They are SO amazing live. Played for 2 hours almost straight then came back for 30 min encore. Loudest fucking concert I've ever been too.
Yes Peter is smoking. I think my ovaries exploded at that point. Smoking is total not allowed - but clearly he didn't give a fuck. Totally made him so much hotter. I've been craving a smoke since the show ;)
Bah - loudest concert I've been to. Not too. Oy!
I do not know this band, should I? I loved the song and your pictures are amazing. I agree that you should send them to the band. Your cameras and the photographers are pretty darn awesome. Question - the photo at 3:01 how/where is that light coming from that is shining upon his face?? It's like the music from the guitar is illuminating him. Amazing.
Off to go look up this band! Thank you for sharing!
Hey CC: Never heard of them before. But great pics. I'll definitely check em' out. Always into discovering new music.
Glad you had fun...ovary explosion and all ;)
xo J
@Dangrdafne - Yes you should! They're on the New Moon soundtrack!! Beat the Devil's Tattoo is one of my favs (although in making the video I may have killed MrCC's love for it). Go check out Shuffle your feet, Spread your love, Love Burns, Awake, River Styx, and Am I only. Some of my favs.
The light at 3:01 was like a bar light, you can see it at 2:19. I just caught the right angle with that one. I think my photo at 1:36 is my fav.
I'm really happy with our little Canon point and shoot. Mr CC did a great job in getting shots of the whole band (he's taller and was further from the stage) and Leah (she was really fucking hard to get since she was at the back, not as brightly lit, and in constant motion). I was standing in front of him most of the time so I was able to get the ones of Robert and Peter more. I may have hogged the camera a bit :P
I'd love to share them with the band - but I'm not sure how to get the photos to them.
Ok now I feel stupid. It's even one of my favorite songs on that soundtrack **smacks head** I am terrible with band names and song titles too (yea I am going to go with that).
I have to go back to the vid to see which pic is your fave now. Thanks for the song choices too.
@Dangrdafne - S'okay - I'm pretty bad with band names and song titles too!!
@SoTwired - Can you blame my poor ovaries? Smoking, grungy, musician that's really fucking talent and pretty hawt looking? Those gonads never stood a chance. Had SUCH an amazing time. Best concert I've ever been too.
Is any one album better to get than another? I really like them and I may be purchasing some stuff from them today. Thank you so much for sharing.
@ Dangrdafne - Tough call. I'd either pick up a) BRMC and Howl or just get Beat the Devil's Tattoo.
Ok, so that was very cool and I love this song. I don't know much about BRMC but I think I'll need to totally check out some more of their stuff! Nice job.
@LKW - Thanks! And yes you should check them out!
Short brown-haired guy dressed in all black looks like a cutie. Is he hot in person?
Nothing wrong with you and the Mr. getting different things out of the show. ;)
@TongueTwied - Rob (short haired guy) came out into the crowd several times, and let himself be sort of pushed around by the crowd (was super cool). He actually ended up right in front of me and well, kinda, falling into me (we were not even 10 ft from the stage). I had to push him away, hence the lack of photos of said moment. So, having been so close, I can say with absolute certainty that, yes, he's hot too!
