The Satellite: Kalynn Barnum Photo Gallery Opening

The Satellite is doing a series of photo exhibits for local music photographers. Up on this particular night was the always enthusiastic photographer, Kalynn Barnum. The night was dedicated to women of punk as Kalynn mentioned that she was often told as a youngster that punk was a man's world. If I read a post correctly, north of 200 people made their way through the gallery of photos.

As the photo exhibit highlighted musicians, there had to be bands.

Opening up the night was Cosmic Kitten. They have a slow-tempo punk sound that is off-set with a wild side when it comes to their performance. It was an interesting dichotomy. For one song, Kalynn Barnum went on stage to play bass.

The Groans were next up with their political punk. They made no excuses for their anti-capitalism stance. Their fashion stance stated their punk style while mixing in some goth influence.

Broken Baby came on stage with boundless energy that is a constant in all their live shows. Their lead singer Amber took a couple rides across The Satellite stage via the help of photographers. There were more than a few photographers lining the stage during the night. Many of them focused in on Broken Baby's set, because they put on a show that makes photographers rejoice.

Gustaf closed out the night with a style that mixes in simple talk with punk undertows. It is definitely a unique sound. And there was an accident that occurred. A hand went out to reach the camera of a photographer and a lens extender fell off the camera. Maybe no harm as the photographer picks it up and put it back on her camera. I suppose time will tell if there was any long-term damage.
