so last sunday i was asked to cover this benefit which i also shot last year. this year the headliner was Emerson Hart... former lead singer of Tonic. i almost didn't stay because it was getting late etc and i wasn't expecting much. for some reason i am always surprised when a professional singer actually sounds good. i don't know why, i just don't expect much out of singers these days. Emerson Hart sounded great. he basically performed a consolidated Tonic's greatest hits ... though i'm sure he'd rather us know him for his new stuff. anyway quite an unexpected treat that made me feel more like an out of touch 30 year old (i'm not really 30). but at least i had 200 drunks there with me to help me make it through.

I like that guitar!
i like that guitar too. that's cool stuff. they were quite the underrated band. good shots too.
very cool! interesting though, that he was good live! I gave Tonic at least three different tries at being a good live concert for me (back in the day, I was a good live concert goer) and they always sucked! It got to the point that if ashley (my good live concert goer buddy) and I heard that they were performing with someone... we would not waste our money. I am glad to see that he is good though, I might enjoy hearing a Tonic compilation because I really loved them recorded and agree that they were underrated as a band... but that could also be because of the live performances :)
