Hard Art in New Orleans. This awesome cathartic visual and cultural dedication to music and DC history has only just begun!! xoxo
Had a great time at the opening last night, my wife Sara and my 15 year old Rachel were impressed with the photograghs, and I remember having my picture taken by Lucian at Hard Art when I was playing with the Resistors. I still have the booklet he put out with some of the photos that were exhibited last night. What a wonderful eye Lucian has and to see my friends, when we were young, was compelling. Later I joined Black Market Baby and think Lucian took phots as well. The show was packed with old friends and was a huge success thanks to all who contribute, these photos must be seen again.
You have no idea what these photos meant to me. Lucians photos and others in Banned in DC made me want to be a photographer. It really changed my life.
Also the photo of Trenchmouth in Banned In DC was such a huge connection between me and the DC seen because my best friend's brother was Charlie from Trenchmouth.
Seeing these photos and that book made me want to get so involved in the DC scene in the mid 90's and my friend and I started a zine and a record label and I started shooting bands and more than 15 years later I am a pro photographer and I am currently on Kickstarter working on putting out my first record since the 90's dedicated to a guy who's band I may never have managed if it weren't for the amazing documentation of the early DC Hardcore scene.
Thanks and good luck with the project!
Great way to make this happen! Sorry I couldn't do more, but I'm thinking this will hit full funding very very soon.
