Photos: School of Seven Bells opening for White Lies at Terminal 5 on 5.19.2011

Terminal 5, NYC, 5/19/2011 – 3 weeks and about 80 miles apart I shot School of Seven Bells for the second time as an opener. A few weeks ago I covered them as they opened for Interpol at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park and just 3 weeks later, the music remained the same but […]

The Architects opening for My Chemical Romance at Terminal 5, NYC
