This weeks Monday Photo Blog comes from Priscilla Lima. Three photos of bands from northeastern Brazil. I get the sense there’s plenty of audience participation there.

This installment of the Monday Photo Blog comes to us from photographer Victor Mauro. The band is Deaf Kids from Volta Redonda-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Deaf Kids is a one-man project run by Douglas from Homer Elefante and Speed Kills. For live shows he recruits fellow bandmates from Homem Elefante, as well as Lifelifters, O Mito da Caverna, and Elasticdeath. Thrash it up!

Had to start my first  Monday Photo Blog with a classic band. I can still remember the first time hearing Siege on the Cleanse The Bacteria comp. Could not believe a band so brutal could come from America. They stood out from all the other bands on that record, and the line-up was some top notch stuff.  So, when the offer came to run some photos of the band I jumped at it. A huge thanks to Kurt Habelt for providing the images.

Well, we are sad to announce that Mark “icki” Murrmann is stepping down from his duties as MRR’s Monday Photo Blog editor. We can only hope to live up to the quality standard that icki has set in his two and a half years on the job. You can still keep up with Mark at his website, and I’m sure he’ll still be contributing to MRR now and again. So, thank you icki for all of the amazing photos!

While we’re looking for a new photo editor, your fearless Webmaster has been scouring recent contributions. Amongst shot after shot of shirtless singer dudes we were pleased to find an amazing selection of band portraits, live pics and scene photos from Olympia’s Ben Trogdon, editor of NUTS! zine and drummer of the great Weird TV. Check out his photo site here, and some of his awesome shots right here!

This past weekend marked the end of the Bay Area’s Budget Rock Fest. Ten years into it and Chris Owen, Mitch Cardwell and the whole gang wisely decided to pack it in. Don’t get me wrong — I’ve had plenty of fun at Budget Rock, but it’s good to see someone call it a day while they’re going on strong rather than dragging it out, you know? So, with that in mind, I thought I’d post a few shots from this year’s blow-out and a few hits/misses from the past few years too.
