On December 1st I photographed Fish at the Rock Lottery! at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. From the Rock Lottery Facebook Page:
- The Rock Lottery premise is simple, but effective. Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00AM at the evenings performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five groups through a lottery-based chance selection. The five separate groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover-song limit). The groups will then perform what they have created that evening in front of a waiting audience.
Fish was comprised of Bryan Quackenbush of Gang Signs, Brian Betancourt of Hospitality, Jonny Rogoff of Yuck, Dave Harrington of Nicolas Jaar-Live Band and Leo Maymind of Spanish Prisoners.
Photos from the show will be published shortly by BrooklynVegan.
I’ll be uploading all the shots from this show (possibly including some that BrooklynVegan doesn’t use and all will be in higher resolution) to this site and my Flickr page on December 15th. (Delay is due to exclusivity rights/professional courtesy.)
