I shot some pictures of The Bravery at concert at the Crystal Ballroom. They are one of the few bands whose album I bought recently. I have thousands of songs and cd’s and most of new stuff sounds the same to me but I like their sound. I am big New Wave fan and their sound is very similar. It was a good show and …
