This song is from Irish band Fontaines D.C.‘s 2022 album, Skinty Fia. The band is playing in Los Angeles tomorrow (9/13/22) at The Grammy Museum and on Saturday (9/17) as part of the festival Primavera Sound LA.
im trying so hard to restrain myself from spending money that I don’t have to get tickets to primavera sound la to see 2 artists. like god I wanna see arctic monkeys so bad. its not at all helped by the footage I’ve seen of their concerts lately, not the new song. the fact king krule will also be there just makes me contemplate getting tickets even more. but then I don’t have that kinda money
Rafael Avcioglu Lately, since getting back into photographing music, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a lot of famous musicians. And since being in LA, I’ve had the pleasure of working a lot of events with A-list musicians and actors. Some mean a lot more to me than others and some don’t phase me at all. But yesterday was a special one. I was working Primavera Sound and I left the stage to go grab some food in the security area about an hour before Arctic Monkeys went on. Super Randomly I spotted the whole band taking photographs back there with the photographer. I’ve been listening to Arctic Monkeys since there first album dropped in 2006. My sister turned me onto them and we both fell in love with the music.
I was able to see them a few times since then but to be working on stage with them and then to meet them in person was just a really special moment for me.
And I don’t like to brag or anything, it’s just more of a look how far I’ve come thing. From being a 12 year old blasting their music in my attic bedroom to working with them. (Primavera Sound LA - 18 September 2022)
