Well, if you’re into live music, it’d be kind of hard to make it through NoisePop 2007 without hitting up at least one show from San Francisco’s own 15-year running indie music festival. For me, I had the chance to photograph The Donnas play a kick-ass set at Bottom of the Hill on March 2, 2007. This was the band’s original stomping grounds, and they delivered and then some for the local crowd! They played a stretch of their classic originals, a cover of Judas Priest’s After Midnight, then threw in two brand new songs from their upcoming new album, and ended with an energetic version of Take It Off.
I had photo creds but it was pretty obvious I didn’t need them considering that there must have been 20+ people filming and recording the entire show out in the open! Rather than try to describe the in-your-face girl power rock these chicks dish out, I slapped together an awesome “fan mashup” from two videos I found on YouTube and my own source from the last song of the night. Please remember that I started with YouTube-quality clips here and the second camera doesn’t come in until 30 seconds into the song, but regardless, it’s still a pretty killin’ video now that all three sources have been tightly edited together. So, I highly encourage you to give this live mashup a look, not only because The Donnas rock, but also because it’s a great example of fan-created media!

Nice work! I couldn’t even tell the different footage transitions.
Take it off!
