Be Your Own Pet

The last time I was at Scala, there was a very distinct lack of photo pit, so I was forced to use the balconies to shoot from, this time around I had better luck, there was a photo pit, a rather small one though, if you sit on the barrier steps your knees touch the stage, if you stand up you run the risk of falling over as there is not enough room to keep your balance. Thankfully I got in there as soon as Future Of The Left finished their set, I needed to get a good spot since moving around was going to be impossible, I managed to get a place centre right, perfect. By the time the lights went down there were ten photographers all crammed in next to each other. Be Your Own Pet’s first three songs were rather short, luckily we were blessed with some nice white spotlights coming down from above, which made shooting this hyperactive lot rather easy. I was happy until the beginning of the third song, when the guitarist decided it was a good idea to pour a bottle of beer all over me, thanks a lot mate.
