On Saturday night I went to see The xx play with Friendly Fires at Webster Hall. A full concert photo gallery is coming on here and on Stereogum, but first I wanted to share some quick portraits I got of The xx before the show.
The band recently became a trio after losing their 4th member, so I thought I’d try and get one of the first shots of them as a 3 piece. I grabbed them during soundcheck and got these shot with one speedlight. I think the first is my favorite of the frames, but there are a few other shots below. I also got headshots of the 3 of them and plan on playing with those shots for a possible triptych.
In addition, if you haven’t heard their self-titled record, do yourself a favor and check it out.
