I got a photo pass via the band’s publicist for this interview and review.

how does one go about getting a photo pass? i’ve been taking photos for about 6-7 gigs now, and have felt that i’ve progressed each time, enough so what i’m doing is worthwhile i think (email me and i’ll send you some link; i don’t have a music-related site as of yet).

lastly, what gear do you shot w/ ? any recommendations for a good, fast wide prime? i usually just use my 50mm f/1.8 but w/ a 1.6 crop body (rebelXT) it’s too long to stage shots.

sorry for all the questions! i’m off to take a look at more entries of yr blog.

Hey BTD Greg – funny enough I got that same vibe from Beirut, Southwest is to Calexico what the Middle East is to Beirut.. those influences are totally in there. And from what i understand , Beirut is a guy that plays with a backing band. no guitars. based in brooklyn. awesome stuff.

To me, superficially at least, they sounded very much like Calexico. Anyone know anything about this band?

Not even Stevie Nicks” is a major favorite as well and, lordie, if they did a collaberation with Manu Chao, I might just fall over from the joy of it.

Then you will be ready.
