earRotator ~ Larry Blake's - October 15, 2003

~
This was a performance by earRotator I shot at the great but, sadly, no longer there, Larry's Blake's on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California (link below). Blake's was just up the avenue where I saw a street performance by them (link below).       

It was the first time I heard, and saw, Paranoid White Men with all the projections that went with it and, as with the theme of their songs, they are mostly political commentary images (link below).

Fifteen years ago I did a series of photo shoots with Dave Barrows and Mark Schleunes of the two-man group, earRotator (link below).    

The first time was on November 11, 2003; I was on my way to Amoeba Records on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley, California, when I caught them performing on the avenue.

The third was on October 15, 2003, a performance at Larry Blake’s in Berkeley, California. It was a terrific venue for music that featured rock and jazz and had some great musicians who performed there; it closed in February of 2011 (link below).

The last time was on March 12, 2004, at the ATA (Artists’ Television Access), an artist-run, non-profit organization on Valencia St. in San Francisco, California, (link below).

Although I'm not credited, they've used images from those shoots on their website (link below). In the process, I managed to get a couple of CDs, A DVD as well as this T-shirt which I have kept in virgin condition for fifteen years.
