La Música Oscura: Dark Chisme, Spike Hellis & Meldamor at the Roxy (Part 3 of 3)

We arrived a little later & just caught Pride Month Barbie at the end of the set. So, I didn't get any photos of them, unfortunately! But we got to enjoy a full set by Meldamor.

It was my first time hearing them & the whole time I kept thinking "The dummer looks like Dave Parley" — it turns out it was! 😅 I had no idea he'd left Prayers & started a music project with his wife.

Her towering figure paired with commanding stage presence made a very memorable performance & was a great introduction to the band. I'm obsessed!

Below are a few of my fav compositions from the show. I created a mix of both B&W and color versions. I was really trying to go for an oldschool aesthetic edit, reminiscent of old DIY band photography. Let me know in the comments if you prefer the color or B&W photos!

Photos were created with a Nikon ZF & 24-70mm lens. No flash in these, because I didn't want to ruin the ambience. I really loved a lot of the shapes & color palettes the lighting was creating, too!
