On my way to Bend Oregon, to shoot Attila who happens to be co headlining with the Wicked Clowns! Wait! That’s got to be a misprint. Nope, the Atlanta natives have been touring with Psychopathic Records very own Insane Clown Posse, how does that match up? How…just how does that work? Well it happens I got to see this for myself.
While waiting for the doors to open I
happened to meet some amazing Juggalos and Juggalettes. The Crew From The Rip City Rydaz was in full effect. I was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances and I missed Lil toenail, and most of Sylar. Then Cage came on and well I’m sorry but, children don’t do meth it’s bad for you! He just didn’t have a flow to me and he sounded horrible, sorry have to be honest.
Waiting for Attila, this is my first time seeing them, and I have heard great things about them live.
They hit the stage and the sold out crowd went wild, they’re some to see a had them moving for the whole 40 minutes they were on stage the adrenaline starts to flow and you lose your shit! When the intro to Party With the Devil I swear didn’t see a single person on the floor not moshing or jumping. Seeing as this is my first time seeing these guys play, I can’t but help how much of the crowd was there just to see them.

I was very impressed and well I was hoping to hear Proving Grounds, and I wasn’t disappointed. One of the cool things I really enjoyed was how impressed Chris Fronzak was with the crowd. Through out the set he kept saying we need to come to Oregon more often you guys are fucking insane.
I like to judge a band on performance and how they sound live. After the buzzing in my head subsided I was totally floored by their performance. Thanks for making my brain melt! I would love another opportunity to not only shoot these guys again, but I would like to sit down and do a full interview hint, hint, hint, and as a side note as I was taking shots I couldn’t help notice how much fun they are having on stage, the showmanship that they all hold as a band is amazing.

As they ended you can see everyone is still pumped and waiting for ICP. Things that are never on time or accurate, the weather and concerts. Apparently there were supposed to be two other acts that dropped off the tour, and there was a 45 minute  wait between sets.
So as the crowd is starting to withdraw from their recent adrenaline rush, the lights go off and it’s showtime.
So you ask was it worth seeing Attila live for the first time? Or getting an amazing opportunity to do a live shoot of Attila? Or
taking three full Faygo bottles to the chest? Then walking in the cold to your car with only your ass not soaked in diet cola? And to top it off meeting some amazing Juggalos and Juggalettes? Of course I would this is the music business baby!
But this was an amazing shoot for me. I loved it and the people. Plus I have to hand it to the Security at the Midtown Ballroom. You guys were awesome thanks!
So that’s the coverage of my shenanigans and until next time
Keep Your Hatchets Swinging!!
And
Catch you on the Flipside!
