Ádamas' point man
Lead singer and rhythm guitar player Juan, and his (now divorced) wife, Rosa. Couldn't ask for better friends.
Crazy cameraness
Self portraits at slow shutter speeds and a flash pop tend to yield pretty trippy results.

The first batch of photos prior to Runnin' Blind's set are only so-so quality if you ask me. Initially tried with various flash power settings or no flash at all.

Dancing time
Rosa and Andrea (drummer Carlos' then girlfriend—now married) get their groove on.
Creepy dude watching the ladies dance

Realizing that typical flash or no flash shots weren't coming out so well, I started experimenting with low power flashes and longer shutter speeds. The results were pretty interesting and the majority of the remaining shots were done this way.

Nah, it's not badly exposed—it's showing their energy! Yeah, that's it!

The camera helps Nick do his ghost trick.

Right about here is where I finally decided that 1/8 of a second with a -1.0 stop flash setting was giving me the best shots.

Since this is the first decent single shot I got of him (better ones later), let me finally introduce you to the drummer, Carlos.

When Runnin' Blind took the stage this posse started lending a hand! I'm not sure I caught it properly, but I think the band called them the Blind Runners.

Runnin' Blind: Los, vocals; Oscar, drums; and Javier, guitar. Bass player Dave was not present this night.

After Runnin' Blind finished their set, I planted myself in the front and center couch for a bunch of close up shots as both bands mixed it up and jammed together for about an hour. I should have sat here sooner. Except that I couldn't get any wide shots of everyone, these shots came out the best, by far.

Great one! Looks like Juan is really red hot smokin' the strings. Even his logo sticker is on fire!
