photos from concerts past

2007 in pictures

2007 is finally coming to a close. It has been a good year, and I've got a ton of concert pictures to prove it. Here's what I have to show after these long 365 days. These photos, however, don't include all of the shows I attended this year. There were a handful of shows in which photography was intensely banned, such as Snoop Dogg and Muse. Oh well, hopefully 2008 will be an even better year for everyone.

Here's to some good music in 2008. New releases are expected from the musicians in my top 3, Giant Drag, Amy Kuney, and The Like as well as from others, like Tyler Hilton. Cheers.

Along with Giant Drag and The Like, Amy Kuney completes my top three favorite artists.

I first heard of Amy this summer when she opened for Tyler Hilton at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. She absolutely blew me away. Her song, Thank You For Last Night, which is currently featured on her Myspace, is the one that really captured me.

Amy's voice reminds me of some old-school singers from about the 30s or 40s. It's not hollow or whiny like so many other artists today.

Amy recently started a blog as she visits her family in Honduras (she's a missionary kid!) and starts recording her new album which is due out this spring.

What's really cool is that Amy has agreed to let me help her out in terms of publicity for the new album. It will be great experience, and certainly a fun one, because I appreciate Amy's music so much. I'll be sure to keep you updated on what's happening with Amy.
