Fight or Flight 8/3/13

Warner Brothers/Reprise Records recording artists “Fight or Flight” appeared at The Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan on August 3rd with Brooklyn natives “Anaka” and “Mindset Evolution” of Illinois. The overall show was a great effort and quite enjoyable on my part. Fight or Flight’s new album “A Life By Design” sold around 4,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 87 on The Billboard 200 chart (Blabbermouth article HERE!) Being a huge Disturbed fan (Dan Donegan and Mike Wengren), I had to check this band out. I was NOT disappointed. Each band member was very easy to shoot considering the lighting system was obsolete as they had their own lighting system. I also had All Access so I shot the whole sets of Anaka and Fight or Flight. Mindset Evolution was HORRIBLE lighting so I did not bother. At the end of the show I managed to score photos with Dan and Mike, a guitar pick from Jeremy Jayson (Guitarist) and a full autographed setlist from all band members thanks to their humbleness coming out right from the stage to talk to fans and sign stuff and take photos. Check out the photos below and the links for Hi-Res photos.

Check out the photos from my personal collection which will also make up the other photos in my “memorabilia” and “celebrities” at the end of the year.
