New The Damnwells Record + Old Me

First of all, my friends The Damnwells just released a new record, 'One Last Century'. Its fantastic. You can download it for FREE at Paste Magazine.



I spent last weekend in LA taking photos of the band Tonic. This morning at my house I got to thinking about the days when I was a fan of alternative rock music, you know, late 90's, end of high school, beginning of college. I found these photographs in my apartment.

Me + matchbox twenty. 1996.


College. Freshmen year. 1998.


Summer of 1999. I was working at MTV in NYC. Yes, those are frost tips...


Summer of 2000. Backstage rock show. That's me with Jeff from Tonic and two guys from the band STIR. Its almost not ironic that I just spent a weekend, nine years later, shooting them in Los Angeles. Yes, those are still frost tips and yes a leather bracelet.
