For a second night in a a row Puerto Rican Indie band of choice SuperAquello sold out one of the hottest venues in Santurce, La Respuesta. A beautiful night in the Metropolitan area of Puerto Rico got enhanced by the soothing sounds of Van Valentine who opened SuperAquello’s show .

Van Valentine departed from a traditional rock band sound into a more organic and toned down performance for this show giving it space for the lyrics to bloom and showcase his singer song writing skills. A short but powerful set left the crowd wanting more and gave the a tease of whats next to come from this emerging artist.

Right around 30 past midnight the crowd started gathering again in front of the stage, people left the bar and close the gaps between band and audience to me one of the surprising factors of the night was witnessing first hand SuperAquello’s huge following and really hardcore fans. You can say that most of their songs were sing a longs since there was major interaction as they worked the crowd a 100% on Songs like “El Ornitorrinco” and  “Entre las Patas”.

A big surprise for SuperAquello fans was that they got treated to an intimate screening of the documentary LA EMERGENCIA  filmed by Gisela Rosario who spend almost 4 years following the band to dig deep and show a personal window into the creative process behind the band and showcase their personalities on and off the stage.

On the tech side when i was happy with the shots i got for the night. I went for broke and started experimenting with multiple exposures in a live show inspired by Zack Arias’s blog the results can be unreal.
