O’Connor, 34, had an unusual perspective while shooting the Ergs! and Dillinger Four at Danbro Studios. “I had a view of the surging crowd from a platform 30 feet above,” he says. “It was also a great spot to watch the bands!” O’Connor, who lives in Paris and New York, has also shot for Vogue, GQ, and i-D. Favorite show: “Kings of Leon in Italy.”

< Echo & the Bunnymen’s readiness to
open up surprised Spitz, whose work
first appeared in Spin in 1998. “Will
Sergeant said, ‘ This is like therapy,’ and
Ian McCulloch was so shocked that Will
spoke to me for
90 minutes he asked
me to clear three hours for him.” Spitz
also writes for The New York Times.
Favorite Echo song: “The Back of Love”

> “Maya was five months pregnant
when I met her and had just been to
the ob-gyn,” says Ali, a senior writer
at Newsweek. “She told the doctor
she wanted to have the baby at home,
arguing that her grandmother had all
15 kids standing up under a tree.
He said, ‘She probably got pregnant
against that tree, too.’ Maya was miffed.”

< “Fucked Up are amazing,” raves
Cappello about the band’s live show.
“Their fans know all their songs and go
ape-shit. You get some blood, some
broken guitars, and a lot of sweat.” He
has also shot for Flair, Dazed and Confused,
and GQ. His book Acid Drop ( TinyVices/
Aperture) was published in October.
Favorite Fucked Up song: “Jacobs Ladder”
