So yes?

Last week I hung around at Dante’s Highlight with the cam at a rocking metal show.. The bands performing were Shear and Amarantine. In this bloggy insert I’ll give you all the “good” shots from the Shear gig, later on I’ll post all the Amarantine shots…

Most of the shots in this small collection are live frames, but at the bottom you’ll also find some shots taken before the show at the Shear backstage camp. And I should probably mention that this was the first live show Shear ever have pulled off, and let me tell you – they were really good and I hope to see them again and again… And not only I loved the show, the audience seemed to really like what they witnessed. They were really rocking and looking good. They boys are awesome musicians and Alexa has a fantabulous voice. The songs are just incredible and you should definitely try out some of their tunes, found on their myspace.

Shear is a Helsinki-based progressive metal band consisted of six souls. Those are the one’s of Mike, Eerik, Lauri, Lari, Juffi and Alexa.. I’ve worked with the band earlier last fall when I shot their promotional shots. And what more.. I’ll say no more, I’ll let the shots do the talking, cliché people. I hope you’ll enjoy some of these shots and I really hope that I get to frame these boys and girl more than once.. Let the slideshow begin folks. Rock.

..And this was probably the largest set of shots I’ve ever posted as a blog insert, I hope that the dudes in Shear appreciate this one. And of course, I had to put myself on the last shot of today – why? I dunno.. It just had to be done. And you, you who got all the way down here, hopefully someone did.. To the point. If you ever get the chance to see a Shear gig somewhere, please do go and observe, they are awesome!

Stay tuned and have yourself an awesome Tuesday!
