Randy goes to concerts

My friend Randy recently checked in with a couple of new concert photo sets. First up is long time garage faves, the Mummies, who have been off of the live circuit for quite some time. They are back now and packed them in at Southpaw in Brooklyn on June 10.

Randy says, "Outside of playing a festival in Spain last year, San Mateo's kings of "No Budget" garage rock, THE MUMMIES, haven't gigged together regularly since '92. Performing in front of a rowdy sold-out crowd at Southpaw in Brooklyn, these groovy ghoulies brought down the house with a potent mixture of their 7" singles and album tracks." See the full photo set here.

On June 8, he was at Prospect Park to witness the latest David Byrne extravaganza in full force.

Randy says, "David Byrne ushered in the 2009 "Celebrate Brooklyn!" summer festival at Prospect Park this past Monday, June 8th. The theme for the evening was Byrne's many collaborations with Brian Eno, most recently bearing fruit with last year's "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today" album. Most of the setlist was pulled from the legendary Talking Heads albums "Fear of Music" and "Remain In Light." The crowd was especially delighted to hear "Take Me To The River" and "Burning Down The House" during the encores. I personally was thrilled to hear "Air." As you'll see from these photos, age is agreeing with Mr. Byrne.

Don't miss the photos at the end of the set of Byrne in a tutu!" See the whole photo set here.
