I was trawling through the Red Bat archives, looking for interesting shots for our portfolio, when I happened to find Patrick’s Proof Bar sets from 2007. He visited the Santa Ana nightspot several times in May and July and got pictures of people dancing to beats laid down by DJ DAUS, aka his friend Darius. This two-minute slideshow uses excerpts from a DAUS track and photos by Patrick, and proves that it’s possible to get great shots in a dark nightclub.

DAUS is the hottie in the Pink Floyd t-shirt. His tracks can be found at www.daustek.com.

My friend Peter took me to see some bands play at Retox Lounge in San Francisco. The act we cared about most was Peter’s friend Kevin, aka Sulky Darky. Here’s a slideshow to tell you all about it. The handsome fellow at the very end is Kevin. Yay Kevin!

It’s got a soundtrack, so pump up your volume.
