This past Sunday, Brooklyn concertgoers emerged from their Siren Festival hangover and headed out to McCarren Park Pool for a fantastic lineup that included Team Robespierre, Fuck Buttons, and -above all others- Liars.
When photographing a show, it’s generally a good idea to take pictures of more than just the frontman. If you’re shooting Talking Heads, you should get a few shots of Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison and Chris Franz in there. But with Liars, you can’t. Aiming your camera at anyone other than Angus Andrew is a colossal mistake, because there’s never been a group whose personality is so thoroughly dominated and dwarfed by the lead singer as Liars. This isn’t so much a dig at Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross as much as it is a tribute to Andrew’s outright insanity on stage. - Impose Magazine
