Calvin Marty and The Sunken Ship







































































Another fantastic show by Calvin Marty and the Suken Ship!  This is a band to watch.  I would say they sound a bit like the late Jeff Buckley.  The music is all original and outstanding! They will be introducing their first EP in November 2008! 

This venue was quite small.  Which made it difficult to get a good shot of the whole band with my 24mm.  I was determined to get the shot though so after asking several people to please let me climb on their seats, I moved as close to the wall as I possibly could.  Pushing myself up against the wall I was barley able to get all 4 members in the frame!  Luckily The fans of the Sunken Ship are very cool and happily let me do my gymnastics routine to get the perfect shot.  I think this is part of being a good photographer.  We do whatever we can to get the shot.   Not for any other reason but we HAVE to!  As it turns out I prefer the close up shots more. 
Oh..... the irony.

They have another show in Evanston next week Oct 9th at Space. Check it out!
