Photo Parade

Whenever we have an artist play on Blasphuphmus Radio, our photo crew is deployed to snap the usual glamor shots that are required by the riders we receive. However, because of various loopholes our lawyers found in the contracts, nothing was said about how much time we could spend getting the images just so for public consumption. Well, enough time has passed, and we are proud to offer you an array of links from the live performances we have hosted this year. Call it our way of repaying your extremely good patience.

Our first selection comes from 10 April, 2009, when Mortal Engines dropped by for a mind-melting performance. We did our best to capture the music's eerie qualities in film, and hope you are please with the results. You can look at the normal photoset, or check out the slideshow.

On the 9th of May, we had two members of the Battlesnakes Collective storm Blasphuphmus Radio, and took over the station for a record two hours! (It was an effort in endurance as much as it was in showmanship.) Both Nil Admarari and Alpha Protist played together and separately, and managed to really show us what live music is all about. Provided are both the normal photoset, as well as their slideshow.

It was entirely luck that we were able to get Ghost Town Jenny into the station and onto Blasphuphmus Radio on the 13th of June, but I welcome Lady Luck in all her various audio incarnations. But when you've got talent like this at your beck and call, we wouldn't have even needed to rely on luck, had we needed to. Kim has been a pleasure to know as she has spent the last few weeks in town, and I was most excited to bring you this particular live performance. As usual, you can see the regular photoset, or check out the slideshow. (24 June 2009, 11:16 PM Update: The second photographer from this show just forwarded me her shots, which have been added to the photoset.)

And just yesterday, long time friend and musician Honey Vizer made her first ever Portland appearance, and chose Blasphuphmus Radio as her venue of choice. This was a huge honor, and I did my best to try and make her feel as welcome as possible, and in return, she busted out an hour of amazing performances for an intimate radio audience. I've known Honey for over 10 years, but I have to say that she is now in as good a form as ever. Provided for the discriminating viewer are the regular photoset, as well as a slideshow. (24 June 2009, 6:00 PM Update: Our second photographer finally posted his pictures too, and have been added as of now.)

Whew. What a busy year. As we have recently been informed by a local judge, the loophole we were exploiting previously is no longer available to us, so all future photoshoots will most definately be posted in a much more prompt manner. We promise. Honest.
