Just a few shots from Calla, who opened up for Interpol this past Wednesday at the Pageant. Overall, lighting was scarce throughout the opening songs. Dim, colored spots roving the stage constituted the main sources of light for the first two songs – that is, when the stage wasn’t dusted with a dull red wash.
Luckily, the third song provided a little more interest with that much coveted rarity: white light.
These are all with the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 at maximum aperture, at ISO 1600 with the D2X. Luckily, Interpol’s set was lit with a little more liveliness, if only by degrees. Those images are coming up in just a bit.
In the meantime, you can see a couple of the other shots from Calla here:

Calla are notorious for playing in the dark, I suspect it might be something of a special request from the band. One of my favorite bands, so broody, moody and dark. I like the red shot of Aurelio, it’s very Calla-like.

The last few songs were met with much more light, but the first three were pretty brutal. You’re right, though, the lighting did compliment the music. Thanks for the comment, that shot of Aurelio was my favorite from the shoot.
