Photos: Rev Theory at the Music Farm

The Reggae block party last Saturday wasn’t really my scene so I left early. On the walk back I heard some welcome heavy guitar bouncing out of the Music Farm. I decided to stop in and see who it was and found Souls Harbor cranking out an opening set. Amy Hutto (98x) [...]

Photos: The many faces of Joe Buck

Hillbilly proto-demon Joe Buck played the Black Cart last night and delivered one of the most intense and inspiring shows I’ve seen in a long time. He sat near the edge of the stage with a guitar and a drum pedal and channeled old and primevil energies straight through the crowd. I guess he’s known [...]

Photos: Kulture Klash and The Mill

Kulture Klash was packed this year, nearly doubling the attendance from last year. It offered a pretty broad spectrum of Charleston visual artists and there were some great performances, too. Getting around was difficult at times, and the crowd was a little more party oriented than last year, but it’s still an amazing achievement.
After the [...]

Photos: Race Week

Charleston was blessed with some great weather for this year’s Race Week. The annual event draws sailors from around the country and offers a glimpse of the international competitive sailing scene. Boat classes included “premiere One-Design, PHRF, and IRC regatta for racing sailboats 22 - 70 feet in length.”
I got a chance to ride on [...]

Photos: UnexpecT, Warbringer, Nile

Local metalheads turned out in force last Friday night, bringing 400+ to the Music Farm. Warbringer brought at least a hundred of those into the pit and delivered a pummeling set. UnexpecT turned out bizarre circus metal with mind bending timing changes. And, of course, Nile growled and machine-gunned their way into [...]

Photos: Shark swap at the aquarium

The South Carolina Aquarium recently exchanged one of their female sharks for a pubescent male shark from the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. Ours went out early in the morning, so this bleary-eyed photog didn’t make it, but I did show up for the arrival of the new shark. Not yet fully grown, [...]

Photos from the Spirit of South Carolina

I can think of worst things than sailing around the harbor on a beautiful Thursday morning. I hitched a ride aboard the Spirit of South Carolina during one of their Education-at-Sea day sails. The ship is a double-masted work of art and the kids were stoked to be out on the water.
This particular trip was [...]

Fight night at the Plex 3/28

After taking a winter break from the monthly boxing bouts at the Plex I decided to crank it up again and see who they had in the lineup. The night went a lot smoother than some previous matches I photographed and overall I was impressed by the range of fighters that showed up. [...]

A Decent Animal bids farewell

Here’s some photos from Saturday’s farewell gig at the Pour House.  A Decent Animal was joined by Lindsay Holler and Sea of Cortez and all played to a full house.
Said Graphic Guru John Royall, “Much-loved local rock band A Decent Animal (Bassist Richard Weld, Pictured) filled the Pour House with well-wishers on Saturday night. They [...]
