On December 7th I photographed Hxmxn Pxxplx at Rock Lottery 4! at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Photos from the show will be published shortly by BrooklynVegan.
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 evening’s 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.
Hxmxn Pxxplx was comprised of Stuart Bogie (Superhuman Happiness / Antibalas / Fela! The Musical), Hanoi Jane (Oneida), William Kuehn (Rainer Maria / Shining Mirrors / The Prosiacs), Christian Owens (Bad Girlfriend) and Alyson Greenfield. 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 21st. (Delay is due to exclusivity rights.) All photos will be available for purchase at that time.
