The 2017 Vans Warped Tour Slams into Atlanta, Georgia

June 30, 2017

The 2017 Vans Warped Tour date in Atlanta is now in the history books, and it was a highly successfull and productive experience for DSmithScenes. I went over to Atlanta and the Lakewood Amphitheater complex on June 29th to see and photograph a variety of bands, and I was able to catch many that were high on my prioritized list.

The Fantastic Plastics opened things off with a wonderfully fun and science fiction themed set, and it was honestly my favorite show of the day. I followed it up by catching the hard hitting performance by Bad Cop / Bad Cop and then seeing Memphis May Fire for the second time. From there, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance by Auburn, Alabama's Jule Vera and followed that by doing a brief portrait session with the members of Courage My Love. Closing out the day, I caught the sets by Andy Black, War on Women, and Creeper before the rain started to the fall and I headed back to Birmingham.

Show 012: Lucy Dacus | Saturn Birmingham | Birmingham, Alabama | February 4th, 2019⠀⁣⠀
⠀⁣⠀
It's been a rainy and gray week along with a lull between shows. I normally don't have a problem with those conditions, but, hey, too much of it demands a little color be brought into the equation. ⁣⠀

Gouge Away put on a killer opening set in anticipation of Russian Circles' performance at Saturn. Definitely check them out if you get a chance to see them live, and check out their music on Deathwish, Inc.⠀

Show 015: Many Rooms (Opening for Copeland) | Saturn Birmingham | Birmingham, Alabama | February 13th, 2019⠀
⠀
I nearly forgot to share a shot from this great opening set Many Rooms put on at Saturn earlieri n the week. Heavy blue is usually something a lot of photographers try to avoid, but, sometimes, the color scheme fits the performance quite well. Check out Many Rooms' music on Other People Records.⠀

This was my first experience seeing and photographing Copeland, and I must say that I dug the vibe they had in the room for this performance. Check out their latest album, "Blushing", which can be found on Tooth & Nail Records.⠀
