The Luchagors

Using a formula of refined Punk Rock influence with an edge all their own, The Luchagors bring their hard hitting and highly energetic performance to Wild Bill’s in the support slot for Skid Row.

Shooting Notes:

Shooting the Luchagor’s was straightforward and predictable across the expansive stage and exceptional house lighting at Wild Bill’s. The pit was not enforced this evening giving the crowd opportunity to be up and close with the artist and myself squeezing in as unobtrusive as possible. Movement is quite limited but the fans are always nice and accommodating in the shared space. Exposures fell around ISO3200 in the house spots to ISO6400 in the darker areas of the stage. Easily handled be the Nikon D700 system.
