MH The Verb Album Release – 2.14.14

I spent my Valentine’s Day hanging out with hip hop artist MH The Verb. I met him at this weird Game of Thrones themed dance party he and his DJ B-Tips hosted a while back. He just came out  out with a new album called The Balloon Guide and hit me up about shooting his album release party.

The night started out at the secretive bar Larry Lawrence which I haven’t been to in nearly 10 years despite being in walking distance from my apartment. I actually don’t think I’ve been there since I have lived in NYC. I always thought it was a cool spot with a deceptive entrance and an outdoor smoking patio thing that was a big deal when New York outlawed cigarettes in bars. B-Tips and DJ Longarms were spinning the pre-party (Longarms was actually wearing the same shirt from the first time I shot him, which is probably a pretty weird coincidence unless he only owns one shirt.) and there was a bunch of Valentine’s candy floating around.

Once everyone was nice and drunk the party moved over to the Knitting Factory where MH and his band threw it down playing songs of the new album plus old classics. Aside from the full band there were several guest appearances and more free candy. It was a great show and I found 35 cents so it was pretty much a win-win for me.

After the show I headed home to watch House of Cards until 7am when I went to watch the US beat Russia in men’s hockey and eventually went to bed at 2pm. Probably explains why I didn’t get these photos up yesterday. Happy Valentine’s Day.
