On Tour with Ghostland
My brother Alex is the coolest cat on planet. He works at home and on the road with Ghostland Observatory who have just self-produced their third kick ass record, and who are virtually constantly on the road putting on crazy laser-powered shows.
When the band was here in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I set Alex’s iPhone up to post his photos to Flickr. He’ll be posting behind-the-scenes photos as he travels with the band to concerts, festivals, and SECRET INTERNATIONAL GIGS.
I am super excited, not only because Alex always takes cool shots of the giant crowds getting crazy underneath insane laser shows, but because he also gets to see the band off hours, when they’re just hanging out with each other, having fun on the road, or waiting around for hours and hours and hours in the back of a dusty club, waiting to go on.
I miss the road! (I traveled with Ghostland on their first tour out of Texas.)
Alex isn’t “documenting” the band. He’s just shooting pictures of his life and his friends and his job. I think its better this way - an unbiased look at the experience of touring with a band, something that’s probably a lot different than people imagine. Also, lasers.
