CHELSEA
WOLFE
I was asked back in late July if I was going
to cover the CHELSEA WOLFE show by
their tour manager--who ironically is one of
the owners of TRICKY FALLS. So on
September 22nd at Tricky Falls, I was
granted credentials to cover this dark and
mysterious performance. The show was
not something I am usually accustomed to,
but I must admit, she put on a fantastic
show.
Her face was cast in shadows with her hair
falling over her eyes--needless to say, for
the most part, it was a difficult shoot…but
still I got some great shots of her.
Attendance wasn't that great--maybe a 100
or so people, but everyone who did attend
knew every word to songs like "Dragged
Out", "We Hit a Wall" and "Simple Death"
Her music featured frenzied guitars and
industrial noises that swooped and
clanged. In my opinion, you must be a true
fan to have enjoyed her show. As for me--I
found it interesting and compelling.

In closing, I had never heard of her before
the 22nd, but I am glad I did go to the show
as well as got the chance to meet her
backstage. She was very kind and fun to
talk to. If you're into something a little
different, I suggest you check her out. You
may walk away as pleasantly surprised as I
was.
