Ghostland Observatory -- Robotique Majestique
I'm not sure what it is about the French dance genre that is so hard to replicate, as the bands who have tried it like Ghostland Observatory and VHS or Beta have gone downhill in every attempt they make at it, slowly devolving into a caricature of the music they are trying to create.

Kyle Johnson's Top Ten Local Live Music Photos of 07

2007 was the first year I really got into shooting live music. Its a great form of photography that you cannot fully apreciate until you have shot it. Every show is a challenge. You often cannot be sure of how much time you will have, lighting conditions, how many other photographers are shooting, where you will be able to shoot from, etc.

That being said, I have seen countless amazing Live shots from our talented NW Photogs. I decided to include five shots from other photographers and five of my personal favorites I shot from the past year. Aww the memories. In no particular order...

Ghostland Observatory — Paparazzi Lightning

Ghostland Observatory -- Paparazzi Lightning
Paparazzi Lightning is one of those albums that crosses genres in the way hipsters love— enough rock to appeal to their string-loving hearts, but enough beats to move those feet.
