Animal Collective at Brixton Academy
Animal Collective live at Brixton Academy. I've been dying to see these guys play live! I totally missed out on the Koko show and thought this was where I'd redeem myself.
They played a lot of tracks from their latest album Merriweather Post Pavillion which is all kinds of fun to listen to (I kept singing Lion in a Coma before the gig).
The show was quite a tough one to shoot since it was so dark most of the time (including after the first 3 songs). The guards had no idea when the songs were ending since the band literally powered through the songs without gaps for applauds. They eventually just told us to leave when it got to a point that we were there for quite a bit hehe. I suppose it wasn't dark, but there was lacking in front lights so you couldn't see their faces well, it all suited the music but not our cameras hehe.
After my 3 songs I went back into the crowd and did a few shots there (mm bypassing that bit where you hand your bag to the security folks). I took several wide shots using the digital zoom to focus in properly.
What else? That's about it, they ended up with Brother Sport and came backfor an encore and ended with Lion in a Coma. At times I felt like the moments happened right near the end with tracks like Brother Sport and Lion in a Coma. There were a few other good tunes too but them two were my highlights where the crowd were enjoying it the most.
