Puscifer will be making a stop at The Lyric in Baltimore, MD on 6/1/2023. The band, founded by Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and featuring British singer Carina Round with electro-wizard/guitar player Mat Mitchell, are touring behind their critically-acclaimed album, Existential Reckoning. Tickets for the show at The Lyric are available HERE.

Secret Agents. Dancing Aliens. Video Vignettes. Puscifer’s live outings aren’t really concerts but more of a music-meets-live theatre experience. As a writer recently said: “There are regular rock bands and then there is Puscifer.” Be sure to check out the Official Puscifer Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates.

Soulfly played a killer set at Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 2/16/23, and luckily I was there in the photo pit for the first three songs. I’m a long-time fan of Max Cavalera. Lost my shit at this show. The band absolutely destroyed the crowd. Brutal heavy metal music at its finest. Much respect.

Anyway, be sure to check out the official Soulfly Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. Continue viewing below for more pics from Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 2/16/2023. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

They Might Be Giants (Photo by Andy Jillson)

Alternative rock pioneers They Might Be Giants played for a sold out crowd at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on 12/18/2022. Most of the dates on this tour were sold out, and for good reason. TMBG were celebrating the 40th Anniversary as a band, as well as the release of their 1990 album, Flood. This show honestly felt and sounded like a celebration.

If you were unable to see TMBG in 2022, check the Official TMBG Website for 2023 tour dates. Also be sure to check out TMBG newest album, BOOK. Continue reading below for more pics and my full review. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

Animals As Leaders performed for a rabid sold out crowd at Soundstage in Baltimore’s inner harbor on 4/13/2022. This was a highly-anticipated show.

I was fortunate to be at this show, and too be the only photographer in the photo pit. What a treat!
