The other night I went to Rhythm and Brews where Telepath was playing. They had been described to me on the way over as “New Age hiphop,” a description which I could only envision as Enya with cornrows rapping about Selkies . It turns out that Telepath is better described as world music electronica– hot thumping dance beats linked with swirling synth sitars and Arabic riffs. It was great dancing and the crowd was enthusiastic. When it got too hot to keep up my old belly dance moves, I started snapping pictures of the other concert goers. Usually I find concert photography is hit or miss– too often the pretty lights just don’t translate to photos that are worth anything besides a record of the night. I think a few of mine turned out better than other pictures I’ve gotten at concerts, though, so I’ll share. It’s up to you, dear reader, to decide if they’re just a record of a fun night and a great band or if they’re something more.
