Recent photographs - Throbbing Gristle, Vau de Vire, Circus Metropolus

I've made a few recent exceptions to my event-photography hiatus (does this surprise anyone?) and you can take a peek below. You'll find Throbbing Gristle, Vau de Vire's "Sideshow" at Cellspace, Circus Metropolus's "Funhouse" at the Oakland Metro, and a special bonus vignette.
Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle at the SF Regency Ballroom
Throbbing Gristle -- the pioneers of noise as music and of shock theater (who are credited with the invention of industrial music, along with Cabaret Voltaire and Einstürzende Neubauten) -- who had broken up in 1981 (coincidentally after last playing Kezar Stadium in San Francisco) are back on tour. To quote Jon Longhi of NBC Bay Area (where my photos ran!) "Throbbing Gristle wasn’t just showing all these young techno kids that they could still do it, they were showing them how it’s done." See the photos here.
Illy of Circus Metropolus at Cellspace
Vau de Vire Society joined forces with the Eric McFadden Trio at Cellspace for some stellar performance and fantastic music. If you weren't there, you missed out. I have some portraits I shot here, including those of the chanteuse Jill Tracy and Andrea Zerilli (Oryx Incruentus).
Bad Unkl Sista at the Oakland Metro
Circus Metropolus -- joined by Bad Unkl Sista (pictured above), Dreamtime Circus and (obviously) Gooferman -- took over the Oakland Metro for a production called "Funhouse." I again took mostly portraits, though I did shoot Bad Unkl Sista's lovely butoh performance.
My grandfather's WWII / Korean War MB Jeep
Finally, for something a little out-of-the-ordinary, a very small gallery of my grandfather's WWII / Korean War MB Jeep. He's a veteran of the Merchant Marines, WWII (United States Army, German Theater), and the Korean War, where he was an MP and drove a jeep just like this one. I wish to thank him here for all that he's done (and show some nifty pictures of his toy!).
