Because the music didn't get underway until the evening it gave plenty of time to wander around Brighton shopping and relaxing with friends. Once the bands did get started however, it was a quick turnaround to get from one venue to the next in order to photograph the band I wanted. Yeasayer, from New York, (top three photos) had been building quite a bit of hype and their prog style rock was very impressive at times.
I followed that up with by shooting a more conventenial sounding American guitar band, The Holds Steady, who were fantastic fun to see perform. The lead singer in a geeky looking forty something (bottom photo), but the energy and spirit he and the rest of the band put into their show marks them out as one a must see band.
