Green Day, NYC – 2009Green Day are big fans of the Clash, and when I heard that they would be on Saturday Night Live in the same building where I took a well known photo of the Clash overlooking the New York skyline, I suggested that we could go up on the roof and take a photo similar to the one the Clash made there, and Green Day quickly agreed.C-165 Billie Joe Armstrong, London – 2010C-169 Billie Joe Armstrong, NYC… read more →

Courtney Love, NYC – 2004C-135 Hole, NYC – 2010C-210  

I’ve been in New York for the last few months catching up with many friends at great shows and events… from Shepard Fairey’s art to Courtney Love at a party; The Clash promoting their new reissue package, Joan Jett, Blondie and others… See below.

Gallery exhibits, openings and trips to Utah and Los Angeles kept me busy this winter, with Peter Max, Amy Goodwin, Courtney Love, Sean Lennon, Julian Lennon & Gary Oldman, Laura Hajek, Dave Grohl, Marky Ramone, Andrew WK, Dita Von Tesse, Debbie Harry and more!

March started off for me at SXSW in Austin, then some good times in New York and off to Sao Paulo in April for the opening of a big exhibition of my photos, photo talks and even guest DJ nights…then more cool events back in New York in May and Los Angeles in June….

This month I saw Iggy Pop twice, Alice Cooper twice, Courtney Love, Blondie and John Lennon’s family…..see below!

What a great few months, with Jesse Malin, Foxboro Hot Tubs, Courtney Love, Rolling Stones, Green Day, Lady Gaga and more!

I was asked to be on a panel about Rock Photography at the SXSW festival so I went to Austin for the first time this year. More than 2000 bands play there over 5 days, most of them more than once, so it’s a circus of music overload. If you see 10 shows a day you still miss 490! I managed to have a great time seeing mostly old friends and some new ones too.

July 27 – 28, 2009 – New York – Green Day brought their new show to Madison Square Garden for two amazing three hour long concerts, playing new songs and old, and bringing fans from the audience onstage to join in and sing and play with the band.

This spring I was very busy with the opening of my ROCKERS exhibition in Sao Paulo, but that didn’t stop me from going out whenever I could. On this page I have a roundup of the shows I’ve seen and the scenes I’ve been to from March to July of 2007.

Courtney Love roared into New York City and shook up the town. At the Bowery Ballroom she played one of the most exciting punk rock shows I’ve seen in a long time!
