Ethan Kennedy’s (Kinky Machine)

When I talked with Ethan a while back he mentioned he was thinking about putting another band together. He wanted to add a few more pieces to his already talented line up and call it Kinky Machine. I was excited when he told me the band name and what his ideas were for his new adventure. I saw it in his eyes that he had big plans for this band and were he wanted to take it. I had the opportunity to check out Kinky Machine last week at Momos for their first gig and let me tell you brotha, these guys are good. Kinky Machine is Ethan Kennedy on vocals, Drew D’Entremont on the drums, Matt Sheffer on percussion and keys, Sam Pankey on bass and Matt Mueling on guitar. That’s really all you guys need to know. They are playing next Thursday at Franks here in Austin, TX. The only way I can describe it is sometimes when you see a painting in a gallery and you stand in front of it and see all the cool colors, layers and texture the painting has it inspires you to go and create. It inspires you to tell your friends about what you saw. You describe the painting to your friends the best way possible but its never quite the same as being there and standing in front of it yourself. To truly experience Kinky Machine you need to stand in front of them and see it for yourself.

Shelby was kind enough to help Jack M and I with some promo photos for the band Cause For Applause. The concept for the look of the photo was an old motel room or small studio in New York. These are some outtakes from the photos I shot. This first photo is the one the band ended up going with.

I had a chance to work on Donny’s artwork for his new album that is coming out later this year. Its going to be a good one. I will post up more info on his web-site and the date of his Cd release party when I find out. Stay tuned

I asked Drew to come over yesterday to shoot some photos. It was a last minute thing but, it was cool. We had a few beers and listened to some music. I moved a few things aside in my living room so we had a place to shoot. I did not really have any ideas of what I wanted to shoot but sometimes those are the best times to grab some photos. Hanging out with friends and just pull out the camera and start shooting. Drew plays drums for a few bands here in Austin, Match Maker,Meggan Carney, Ethan Kennedy and a few others. He will be playing this weekend with Meggan Carney at Momos 11 year Anniversary. Thanks Drew!
Drew patiently waiting for me to shoot…..
