I met Jason Feather when I was photographing an event for 944 at his gallery, Gallery AKA. He decided he liked my work and when it came time for his band, Beat Panther, to get photos done, he hit me up. We shot at a club in downtown San Diego called Voyeur, where Jason is currently finishing a mural he has been painting. Voyeur is a great space and I was super excited to shoot there. You will notice in the photos Jason is holding an old military style phone and that’s because he has converted it into a microphone and uses it when he performs.
Here is a little description about Beat Panther, pulled off their website.
“Beat Panther is not simply a band, but an art form. A form of art that is a fitting, beat-driven tribute to the love of house, hip hop, electronic, rock & roll and pornography. Beat Panther blends dance floor squalor with spaced-out keys, only to bring a glitchy climax to the stage with such full force, that Prince would blush.
Created by starving artists Rev (front man Justin Palicki) and JFeather (DJ/beat master extraordinaire), the duo came together out of necessity, three years after their ramshackle bands were touring together throughout the Southwestern US.”
