Long Islander melodic five piece champion punk rock band Iron Chic played The Exchange last night and did not fail to impress.

I've been a massive fan of these guys for years and there songs cut through with a harsh slap to this face. It always makes me feel better when hearing these guys. I missed them in Manchester where I was told they absolutely nailed it along with everyone else who played at The Alphabet Brewing Co. Bash. A few shows to go before another big one @ Deadpunk 2016 which I'm so gutted I can't make but what you gonna do.

 

Anyway have a listen  I managed to grab a live video but I didn't actually catch up with them personally I was on the verge of not making the show at all due to being ridiculously busy with film proposals and other projects. Still glad I made myself go even if I was a zombie on 4 hours sleep.

It's crazy but literally feeling like I was gonna fall asleep like an hour before and feeling ill and run down, all of that faded away with the first chord. I'd love to catch up with them before they leave the UK maybe grab an interview for the documentary. Shame I can't make Deadpunk, if you can make it, do it, it's probably the best thing you'll do with your life this sat. 

Big thanks to Dave Brent for putting it on and all the other upstanding members of the punk rock community.

Jeff Rosenstock @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Jealous Lovers show March 31st, 2016 by Chris Chucas

Today as I awoke from barely any sleep and climbed onto my imac to sift through the hundreds of images I shoot from last nights show I thought; why have I got so many images? I normally reign it in to a manageable 100-200 images. Multiple that by about 3 and that's what I ended up with. Why? Because the Jeff Rosenstock band are off the f--king wall. Definitely one of my favourite bands to shoot. Every single song played with sincerity and wheelbarrow loads of energy. I've always wanted to see Btmi and never got the chance and i'm so glad that I got to see Jeff Rosenstock ( the band ). I shot a bunch of stills and also some super sketchy live video ( it was rammed). I was alone so no multicam live video this time sorry. I shot it for cutaways for the punk rock documentary but i thought i'd put it up for you to see what a rad show it was. Jealous lovers have really shone through again, they must have been going crazy as there was 3 shows on in Clwb Ifor Bach.  I also caught up with Jeff for a quick interview for the documentary which I'll be putting up in the very near future too. Great Cynics were awesome as always our very own Vega Bodegas killed it opening for everyone.
