When I was a gothy mutant teen,
I was in a band called Burning Image. We had a bizarre look, a mean & eclectic sound, and a lot of fun. We wrote and recorded quite a few original songs, played many shows, and developed a nice following in our California home of Bakersfield & Kern Country. Our 7 inch recording (Final Conflict/Burning Image, Burning) managed to get some distribution and college/hipster radio airplay, and we started opening for some larger shows out of town, for Specimen, Dead Kennedys, 45 Grave, Butthole Surfers, and others. We wound up on a compilation album called "Let's Die." It was a very fun period of my life. After a few concentrated years of rehearsing almost every day & and being the best of friends, we slowly went our separate ways.
Resurrected 2004
The whole event was simply an astonishing thing to go through for me.. a flood of old memories, a great time catching up with some of the best people I have ever known, and a thrill to to see such a big interesting audience of all ages show up to be a part of it. I've put my pictures from the weekend up here, and hopefully, I will have some more to put up as I receive them from some of the many other photographers who were there that night.
