Witnessing the artistic growth of a band over time can be very rewarding. Chicago-based 90 Day Men made a habit of playing in Knoxville while on tour. I was able to see them change in interesting ways over the years, not with the same familiarity of a local band full of your friends, but often enough to see their ideas grow and change. I photographed them a couple of times and this particular show was later in their career, between 2002 and 2004 (I think). This is also one of the only times I shot color during this period. I think I captured the feel of the show pretty well. It was a great combination of mellow and energetic. 90 Day Men were a dynamic band and are missed.

Here are a couple of songs, both from their later records. I recommend tracking down a copy of their first EP, Taking Apart The Vessel, for comparison purposes.
