Leisure Cruise playing at Cameo on February 28, 2014
|
Following on the heels of last month's debut at the
Highline Ballroom,
Leisure Cruise played an intimate, high-energy set at the
Cameo Gallery on Friday night. Leah Siegel was in her element, belting out tunes from their upcoming album (check out the new single,
Double Digit Love below), as the enthusiastic crowd got sweaty on the dance floor.

Headlining the evening, Leisure Cruise came onstage after
Clementine & The Galaxy and proceeded to set the tone for the concert with their opening number,
Ragged Dawn, an immense synth-rock anthem with incredible energy and power, convincing the listener that there's "one more fight before the night ends."

As far as shooting this show, I found that the dark venue, along with the band's use of fog on stage proved to be pretty challenging. Armed with my Fuji X100 for the wide shots and my Canon EOS-M and a couple of longer lenses (Cameo is a smaller venue, so I didn't want to bring my full DSLR gear), I tried to just go with the slower shutter speeds for a few interesting motion shots, hoping to capture the energy of the concert. You can check out some more of the photos from the gig
