KEXP Audioasis - One Last Time

Discover America, live at KEXP © William Anthony

Many Seattle locals know and love the great "listener powered" radio station 90.3 FM, KEXP.ORG. From November 2003 to November 2005 I was their photographer of record. (They now employ a team of volunteer photographers.) And nearly every Saturday night from 6-9pm, I dropped by to photograph the local music show Audioasis. It was always great fun to cram into the tiny live performance space with local bands and shoot their in-studios. All the while doing my best not to unplug or knock over anything by accident. I met some great people during my stint there and really came to love being at the station, hanging out with the DJs and musicians alike. It also gave me a chance to cut my teeth, photographically. It was a great experience all around.

So, with just a week or so until my relocation to Los Angeles, I decided to call up my Audioasis DJ buddy Abe Beeson and ask if I could drop by and shoot one last in-studio. And lucky me, it was the great local outfit, Discover America.

Shooting their set brought back a lot of really good memories.This is a small edit from their live set.

Farewell mighty Audioasis.
