Swami at Ginger 62 (Vancouver, Canada)

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Swami

Ever been to Ginger 62? It’s a class spot, but man, the dance floor is dark: black ceilings, black walls, with only the faint glow of the DJ booth to illuminate the room. Swami found me through my photos with Delhi 2 Dublin and called me out to photograph their show. With only modicum of light to work with, I tackled the concert by pushing my camera as far as it would go. How’d things turn out? None to shabby! Take a peek for yourself!

Scream

You know what I love about Bhangra? The vocalists always go all out, screaming at the top of their lungs. Sups is no exception.

Swami Vocalist S-Endz

S-Endz was my main contact for the show. Sadly, we never had a chance to sit down for coffee. Not quite sure how I’m going to get a signed album now.

Liana reminds me an awful lot of Kytami.

I won’t lie: when I saw Liana, the first thing I thought of was Kytami from Delhi 2 Dublin. That said, she takes on a very different role though and fills it well.

Dudes bum rush the stage when Desi Rock hits.

I’ve never seen so many dudes get excited over a song before. After hearing Desi Rock myself, I can’t say I blame them.

Fans swarm the stage.

The best part of intimate concerts? Dance parties on stage with the band!

Scopez (Vancouver, Canada)

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Dumpsters make for killer portraits.

It’s amazing how fast time flies. Growing up, Gerry (Scopez) and I always wanted to be famous for music. The difference between us? He stuck with it, and I got distracted by photography. Mixed blessing. Maybe time to reexamine my life. Anyways – on June 4th, we wandered Chinatown along with Tessa Tham to get some photographs for Scopez’ upcoming EPK. I can’t explain it, but throughout the day, Gerry gravitated towards dumpsters. Looking back on this shot, his gut couldn’t have been more right.

Standing Out

When talking creative, Gerry wanted high-contrast concepts. Instead of going the easy white-shirt-black-wall route, I opted to try something a little different: motion.

Mellow

As one with many different voices, we made sure we caught Gerry’s more reserved and reflective side too.

Delhi 2 Dublin – Planet Electric Launch Party at the Commodore Ballroom (Vancouver, Canada)

Friday, May 7th, 2010

[182/365] Delhi 2 Dublin: Sanjay Seran

Before Delhi 2 Dublin‘s “Planet Electric” launch party, I joined Sonia Ryan and Harjot Bassra from Sugar Tuesday for a series of quick interviews with the band members. First up: Sanjay Seran.

Delhi 2 Dublin : Kytami

Want to know a secret? Girls who play instruments drive me crazy. And then there’s Kytami. Sigh.

Delhi 2 Dublin: Tarun Nayar

Tarun Nayar is the electronic side of Delhi 2 Dublin. He spends most of the time behind a laptop, but that doesn’t mean he’s not full of personality.

Sanjay always puts on a fierce performance. He’s also a jedi master.

Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning, representing the electric guitar and dohl respectively, join the stage.

Delhi 2 Dublin: Planet Electric CD Launch

Delhi 2 Dublin made their Commodore Ballroom debut in style, bringing on an entire troupe of celtic and bhangra dancers.

How these guys can perform while jumping around so much, I’ll never know.

Being stuck behind a laptop doesn’t give Tarun much time with the fans, so he took that problem into his own hands. Or their hands, rather.

Delhi 2 Dublin: Planet Electric CD Launch

Grand epic. Delhi 2 Dublin – a fusion band with very little precedence fills the Commodore Ballroom to capacity. Nothing short of incredible and so very well deserved.
