Breanne Düren







Last Wednesday the 22nd I shot Breanne Düren at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Breanne has been touring in Owl City for the past year (she sings on a few of Adam's tracks, like Saltwater Room). Her show last Wednesday was her only solo show in all of 2010! Breanne is probably the most adorable girl I have ever seen. If you go HERE and sign up for her mailing list you get a free download of her song "Daydreams." Definitely go do it, you won't regret it!!

Recommended Band - Plus one!





Can We Do Laundry At Your House? Tour featuring You Me and Everyone We Know and Take Cover. 
Both of these bands are really solid. YMAEWK has recently signed to Dog House records and has a new cd coming out soon, so be on the look out for it! These guys write some catchy, but truthful lyrics. Take Cover is a band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. For dates to this tour check out: http://www.myspace.com/youmeandeveryoneweknow.  You don't wanna miss Ben from YMAEWK and his crazy dancing on stage! 

Hello!

Hello everyone!
My name is Rachel Smith. I am a photographer from St. Paul, Minnesota. This is a website/blog called About the Lens that will have a gallery containing photos from concerts and eventually articles about select bands that I think you should know of. I want this project to be for me, as much as it is for all my viewers. If you have any bands that you think should be featured or bands that you would like to see live pictures of email me at lehcarsmith@gmail.com. Once this gets a little larger I plan to add interviews, along with the photos and articles. If is going to take a while for this to get kicking, as many fall tours don't start for a month or two. Please keep checking back and let your friends know about this.
Thanks,
Rachel

Ps. There is a possability that I might need a few people to help me out with this. If you are interested email me at lehcarsmith@gmail.com
