Editors Note – Back on May 24 Borangutan photographer Chuck Pittman had the opportunity to shoot the Dark Horse Tour at the Target Center, featuring Sick Puppies, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and you might have guessed it, Nickelback. Things became a little lost in the shuffle, but we even a couple months later we think the images captured are worthy of the following reflection. In case you were wondering, Nickelback said “denied”!

Opening for Nickelback’s Dark Horse Tour 2010 were Sick Puppies, Shinedown, and Breaking Benjamin.  Sick Puppies got the show started with the first song on their newest CD, Tri Polar, “Street Fighter (War)”.  Switching gears they followed it with “Pitiful”, the most well known song off their first album, Dressed up as Life.  Bassist Emma Anzai was amazing and drummer Mark Goodwin rocked! Lead singer, Shimon Moore really showed his style when he dedicated the next song, “All The Same”, to all the ladies in the audience.

Karnivool @ The Rock Nightclub 4/12/2010

Karnivool put on a show that you just couldn’t keep your eyes off of for a second or you would miss something wild. The singer, Ian Kenny, is so different than any lead singer I have seen before. His antics on stage were hard to follow but made great photos. His Voice reminds me of a 50′s singer and it flows along perfectly with the tones of the two guitars and bass. (Chuck Pittman)
