the beginning starts somewhere, right?
xpost from FB.
i've been talking with a local band (who has also performed internationally) about doing a shoot with them. they were pretty quick to respond to my initial inquiry and subsequent emails have been heartening.
an except from the latest email from them:
Great idea re: background and concepting.
Background: We started in 2001 playing punk rockified music from the turn of the 19th century. Craig High and I (Bruce Gardner) have recent ancestors that both ran with the Hole in the Wall gang (Jesse James) – so our bloodlines crossed before.
We’ve been to Ireland and England twice, and have had the rare privilege of playing live on BBC Radio 2. We are in pre-production for our 3rd CD that I am hoping will be complete at the end of this year.
We are working to increase our national visibility and will be aligning with some known bands within the genre in order to do so.
i am just.fucking.excited. would appreciate y'all keeping good thoughts for this whole dealio and send me some grand, iconic image mojo.
i'm starting to think that the move to austin is what i actually needed to do. and thanks to my mama for sharing enough of herself with me to allow me to realize that sometimes, ya just gotta go for it.
