Last Thursday I was back at a very empty Birmingham Academy 2 to watch pint-sized Life of Agony singer Keith Caputo on his solo tour. I was shooting and reviewing the show for Birmingham Live and that should all go up soon, although I think we're due to launch the BRAND NEW site any time now, so it may take a while longer than normal. Anyway, support was provided by Brum singer/songwriter Lee Rogers, and he did an excellent job. He has a great voice, and would be well worth going to watch if you get chance.
Then it was onto the main man, Mr Caputo. He is quite a mysterious character in general, and was equally enigmatic on stage - which only really made him more captivating. He has a great vocal range, and his solo material is also very diverse, making for an interesting set.
His band, The Sad Eyed Ladies, are three talented Dutch musicians, and helped in building an atmospheric sound that built and built as the set went on.
The rest of the set was great - one of those ones you can enjoy without actually knowing any of the songs played. I'm really pleased with some of the shots I ended up with, especially given how bad the lighting was and the fact that, surprisingly for this venue, flash was not allowed. Not to worry though, I got the shots I needed and it's another "name" for my portfolio, which is nice.
