Mac DeMarco at Brooklyn Steel (September 19) by Will Oliver
From January to December, we cover quite a few shows here on this blog. It’s funny to think back to when we were simply blogging about music, without ever intending to ever enter the concert coverage game. But now it’s our primary focus.
Our team of photographers spend many nights a year out in the biggest and smallest rooms in New York, in the confines of a photo pit or surrounded by our fellow music lovers. Our cameras and shutters take a collective beating year in and year out and so it’s only fitting for me to go through the wide variety of shows that we covered this year and picked all of my favorite shots of the year.
But mainly, this is a way for me to thank our great team of photographers for their hard work and for wanting to share their collective talents with us. It’s amazing to even be able to say “team of photographers” at this point. We’ve come a long way and I just want to say thank you to anyone and everyone who has been a part of this journey.
Without further ado, here are some photos we enjoyed publishing in 2019:
