Music Event Photos
I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis. And while we didn't have much, we did have The Quest, and Plush. Plush was a group of promoters headlined by Jack Trash. They brought some of the best entertainment to Minneapolis, and had some fantastic local support. After I started going to college, I ventured to Chicago, met some people, and started going to events down there whenever there was something that interested me.
I think my best years clubbing were between 2003-2004, and later from 2010-2012. After DJs figured out how to embrace the digital age, things exploded, and 2010 was an absolutely amazing time to be in the scene.
Whenever I went to a club, I brought my camera along to take photos. And here are the results.
