Image of the Day-matt pond PA/Young Buffalo


matt pond PA / Young Buffalo on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 in Pittsburgh, PA.

matt pond PA recently hit Pittsburgh on a short tour to promote the 10th Anniversary of their excellent 2005 release "Several Arrows Later" by playing the album in full. A few days earlier in Chicago, they were robbed and among other items stolen were their passports, preventing them from playing Toronto. They forged on with the tour which ended last night in New York. There is an active GoFundMe page where supporters can still help out the band recover at least monetarily.
Joining them on the tour were Oxford, MS indie rockers Young Buffalo.
This is also a very special post for me in that for the first (and hopefully not the last) time in HughShows history, I am truly thrilled and honored to have a guest photographer share their talents with you. I really couldn't be happier with the artist for this debut feature. Long Hong has been a friend and supporter to me for several years now and he is one of my favorite concert photographers in the city. He is the kind of photographer that makes you feel as though you were there and he certainly did with these photos.
From Long, "I feel so very lucky to be Hugh's first guest photographer on his music blog and very fortunate to revisit one of my favorite albums in college."
Thanks so much, Long! The feeling is mutual, man. Let's to do it again, buddy.
