Though David Belisle is 10 feet tall, he has a unique knack for
barely being there. The gorgeously unpretentious and intimate moments
he captures make you feel like you’re looking at someone’s family
album—if that family included Patti Smith, Karen O,
Neil Young, and Fleet Foxes. This new exhibit includes candids and
portraits, as well as landscapes taken during Belisle’s time spent
touring the world with R.E.M. and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The show will be
extra sweetened with a live set by Tiny Vipers. (Easy Street
Records, 4559 California Ave SW, 938-3279. 7 pm [Tiny Vipers at 9 pm],
free.)
