It was a dark and stormy evening… Just kidding. But seriously though, it was quite dark and an unseasonable downpour of torrential proportions rained down on the eve of Sunday, June 5th here in Reno.
The brave soldiers who made the trek down 4th St. to The Underground to catch the 1st ever performance of Pharoahe Monch in Reno were first treated to a slew of local artists, most notably NoBody Really, a group comprised of Tony Walker (aka Locus aka Talik aka doodles aka Poppa Fro), Tsuyoshi “Yosh” Curtis and Joel “JBird” Cowell.
The group started a bit later than their 10:30 time slot, but quickly gained control of the crowd with a breath of fresh lyrics and dope beats to match.
As per shooting on the Nikon D7000, I kept the ISO cranked at 3200 for a low-noise brightness, shutter speed at 1/250th of a second to capture the moment and a wide aperture of 1.8 to extract a realistic color scheme. Overall, I think our readers will be quite pleased with the gallery, which could very well serve as a jumping off point for anyone interested in discovering one of Reno’s best kept secrets: NoBody Really.
For those looking to get a taste of what the group has to offer aurally, we recommend heading over to their BandCamp page and having a listen, geeking out to the visualization and possibly even taking the 7 track EP home for repeat future listening.
