This remains a work in progress, and several other band galleries are still in the pipeline with a planned rollout at some point in the future. The need to go through thousands of photos from hundreds of different shows is the primary reason this has taken so long.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nOut of curiosity, I compiled a few statistics related to my time as photographer in the local music scene. All of these bands except Meat Goat, Mourning Fury, and Ghoultown will eventually be the subjects of dedicated galleries.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\nMy 15 most seen bands as of March 2025 - number of times seen (but not necessarily photographed):\r\n\r\n
