Once again, Vitinha and his Rock On Música SJM promoted a band contest to elect the opening act for this year’s Casainhos Fest. In a proper venue this time, although the lights still sucked. So even though I missed shooting … Continue reading →

MORE THAN A THOUSAND @ Starving Conciertos, 2016/02/02
