Dresden Dolls Interview Photos

While at Lollapalooza 2006 Austin Trunick got to interview The Dresden Dolls before a lot of the bands started for the day. While they were talking I got to shoot some images.

This set also marks the end of the Lollapalooza 2006 images. This year I plan on digitizing a lot of my back catalogue of film and hopefully I'll be able to post some images from the Lollapalooza 2003 tour.

The Subways at Lollapalooza 2006 Day 1

That spring and summer had seen a lot of airplay for their single "Rock & Roll Queen" and they were the opening group on the mainstage. (deadboy & The Elephantmen were the very first group to play at the fest.)

Wilco at Lollapalooza 2006 Day 3

Wilco playing in their home city. It would still be a few more years until I got way into Wilco.

Sparta at Lollapalooza 2006 Day 3

Emptying out the old hard drive! Sparta is one half of the remains of At The Drive-In. The other being The Mars Volta.

Peeping Tom at Lollapalooza 2006 Day 2

Mike Patton has been one of my favorite musical artists for almost 10 years now. Just a few days before Austin Trunick and I took off to cover the festival the group behind the radio hit of the summer was added. That group was Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy," and their tourmates were Peeping Tom got added at the last second as well. Their album was one of those discs that never left my car. Three days later I saw them again, that time doing a headlining stop in Cleveland at the Agora Ballroom. A few months later they headlined the Theatre and packed the place.

Above are photos of Mike Patton with touring bandmates Rahzel of The Roots and Imani Coppola.

Dresden Dolls - Lollapolooza 2006

The Dresden Dolls in Chicago's Grant Park for Lollapolooza 2006. They performed on Day 3, August 6, 2006. I was there with my good friend and collaborator Austin Trunick to cover the festival for the local paper we started at.

Up until this point I had only shot digital with a gigantic 2 megapixel point-and-shoot. Three days before the festival I had purchased my first DSLR. The color temperatures are all over the place with these images.
