The Masquerade

I photographed Ume, and Helmet as they performed on tour with the Toadies at the Masquerade in Atlanta for a Three of a Kind photo feature on local music venues for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday, July 28, 2012. Opened in 1989, The Masquerade holds four spaces within the turn-of-the-century mill building. Hell has enough space to hold 500 concert goers, Heaven can hold 1,000 people, Purgatory can hold 250 and the outdoor music park can hold over 2,000.
