I had so much fun photographing Current Swell last night. It was very fast and furious because they were running behind and had to play a gig at the Waverly. They didn't want to be late for sound check and so I shot the photos is under 20 minutes. My assistant Clare and I had worked out the shot, props and lighting before they got there so we just had to literally throw them into some hats and ray-bans, hand them some bubbles and colorful water guns and ask them to kindly lie on the cement floor with there heads together and start blowing. Bubbles that is. When they they left we talked of the rush of having that kind of pressure to perform and we then we poured ourselves some champagne. It was interesting to watch them play later because they where literally transformed on stage. These fun, young, easy going guys where a force. They put on a crazy live show and I highly recommend seeing them and being prepared to dance your ass off. As I talked to Scott after the gig about using there music in my Tatchu episode we where interrupted by drunk young girls cooing, "sign my arm and tell me how it feels"....
