The Long Island guys from "The World We Knew" performed at the Deathstar located in Downtown Provo as a part of the "Spring Fling Tour" on March 31st, 2011. The Deathstar has recently entered the downtown Provo music scene, sandwiching itself between the known Velour and Muse Venues. The sign on the building reads Legion but what many have yet to discover is the overlooked music scene found behind it's doors. I was on assignment to photograph small music venues and during my research came across the Deathstar. On my way to photograph the venue, I stopped to take a few exterior shots only to run into Tyler, the manager of the venue. As I chatted with Tyler, he invited me to come in and check out the show. I've been to a ton of concerts during my college years, but I must admit I have never attended a metal concert. Upon entering the Deathstar, I found an assortment of colorful friendly faces that just wanted to have a good time. I was really impressed with "The World We Knew" and they're great interaction with the audience. One of the greatest things that I love about small venues is the humility the bands have and gratitude they have for their fans. I guess one could say that there is an even playing field and an atmosphere mimicking friends just goofing off.

A BIG THANKS to The Deathstar, Tyler and "The World We Knew" for allowing me to photograph.
