Field of Screams, America’s #1 haunted attraction, held their 10th annual Battle of the Bands contest a couple of weeks ago. This year I was asked to help judge along with Marlee Watts and Leah Tyler of Y102. There were five bands competing this year; Able Moving Hearts, Ghost of War, Scout’s Honor, People in Other People’s Places, and Broken Fayth.

Along with judging, I got to take tons of photos. It was extremely challenging trying to take photos at night of bands moving around while people are running around you being chased by chainsaw wielding zombies. All the bands were great. The top three gets to be on Homebrewed, Y102’s local band segment every Sunday from 11pm to Midnight.

In third place was Able Moving Hearts.

In 2nd place by the narrowest of margins was Ghost of War

And the winners were Broken Fayth

And not to be left out, here are the other two bands People in Other People’s Places and Scout’s Honor as well as some random views from Field of Screams

Novackaine

Cameron Novack! My brother-in-law is on his way to making it big and he’s doing it in NYC. You might have heard of him from season two of The Voice. Since then he has been doing some awesome show all over the place. Umbrella was lucky enough to see him play at Fontana’s Bar. Here are a few shots from that night. Cameron’s next show will be Saturday, August 9th at 10-11pm at Leftfield NYC. I HIGHLY recommend you check it out!

Betty Iron Thumbs had a album release show at Milkboy Philly in June.  We are friends with the band and decided to take some photos for them for their website and help them celebrate the release of their new album  titled Teeth.

Take a look at some of the photos from their album release show!

As a side note, Jaison (bassist) is playing tonight, July 18th at 3rd and Girard with his other band Sick Panda.  His girlfriend Michelle is also playing with her band Thee Glitterbombs.  Check out the show tonight, it should be really good!

Disco Valanti

Just over a week ago a friend’s band, Disco Valanti, had a killer show at Sam’s Goose House and Umbrella Photography was there to catch them in action! If you are into ’90s and alternative contemporary rock, then I highly recommend checking out Disco Valanti. Fair warning, if you see them at Sam’s Goose House, be sure to get there early as the place gets crowded with all their fans. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them.
