Norma Jean Photos Needed
Hey, as you may have noticed, we brought a new feature to HM Magazine -- "Classic Moments in Christian Rock History," where we highlight some great moments that may or may not be well known ... or at least as notorious as they probably should be.
And we'd like to get your help with this next one. In January and February of 2003 the band Norma Jean played several "sans-vocalist" shows, while their current vocalist, Brad Norris, was home recuperating from a sickness. Instead of cancelling their tour dates, the band pushed on, performing some instrumental shows and others with microphones facing the crowd where the band invited anyone who knew the songs to get on stage and give it a shot.
For this specific feature, we'd like to get any REAL photos of this event that you might have captured. Do you or anyone you know have any such photos? If possible, please send us a "high res" (300 dpi) scan of the photo; or snail mail the print. We'll send it back as soon as we scan it. Now, we probably can't pay you for the use of this photo, but we'll try to make it worth your while with some cool swag. Of course, we'll also print your name next to the photo and send you several copies, so you can show your mom that all these hardcore shows you go to aren't without any lasting fruit.
Also, if we can't get some actual photos of any of these historic shows, we've designed some substitute photos laid out. If we need to go this route, please help us choose one of the following two versions:
a) isolated microphone
b) crowd shot
Please send me an email (or comment below) with your vote!
Thanks!
