Snow Patrol - Washington DC - 9:30 Club

So lets say you drive to Washington DC, as a wedding photographer... its late, but you hear Snow Patrol is playing at one of the coolest Venues in DC... What are you gonna do?
Well go to the Midnight show of course, then get 3 hours of sleep and drive home.
Snow Patrol played the 9:30 club in DC Saturday Night. It was amazing but we arrived only minutes before they got on stage, and found few there... We walked right up to the stage ... close as you could get (as you see in the shots!).
What we were in for, was musical greatness! If you've never heard of the snow patrol... well you need to check them out, they are a great Indie Pop/Rock band with an energetic floating ambient sound. Confusing? Indeed.
But when you see them live (and As I must say you have to...) You'll be amazed. So much energy is poured out on the stage. You would think you were watching a really hard band, but actually they are quiet mello! Hard to believe when you watch how much they get into their music.
Also of note: I've never seen a band member cry on stage, but the base player teared up and started crying during one song. Now thats passion for your music.
But also sad, was he had taped down on the stage the lyrics for 3 songs... and we watched him read the lyrics for at least one of them. Guess its for when he goes blank (been there relate to that). But after the show, I got those lyrics, and a pic...
He told us he was enjoying his US tour, and how much better the DC crowd was than the Atlanta crowd. Hopefully they'll get some coverage in the states becuase these guyz have a ton of talent!
Anyways, check them out while they grace the states, a unique opportunity that you must take! And if you missed them, they said they'd be back this fall, Mark your calendar!
