Behind The Scenes: The Asteroid Shop & The Ghost Wolves shoot with LightBright
The Asteroid Shop & The Ghost Wolves are Austin-based bands I had the pleasure of working with this past week while their tour stopped in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We snapped some photos in front of these incredible murals downtown near Gold Street.

“The Asteroid Shop’s self titled debut is going to make a lot of people really happy,” raves MVRemix. “….Asteroid lays on the indie sound pretty thick, and tempers it expertly with clean electric guitars and Jonathan Koya’s crisp drumming approach…. It’s an album with staying power, if only enough people decide to get up and get on it.”
Music video blog LightBright filmed acoustic performances of both bands in the downtown area. I caught some footage of their process.
The Asteroid Shop performed “Destroyer” from their self-titled debut in the plaza near historic Route 66.

After the sun set, everyone headed over to the Albuquerque train station to shoot The Ghost Wolves under the bridge.
“Their live show is a bit of a spectacle,” says the Austin Chronicle. “Musically, you’ll find hints of popular acts in the mainstream such as The White Stripes, but you can definitely feel a bit of Texas lurking…At times, Carley sounds a bit more ferocious than comparable groups, but that sort of passion only strengthens the band’s sound. We’re really excited about this group,” boasts Austin Town Hall.
The Ghost Wolves performed “Gonna Live” with some backup from The Asteroid Shop:
