Frank Turner Invites Crossfade Backstage at Social Distortion's Fillmore Show

One of the perks of being a concert photographer is sometimes you'll luck into a behind-the-scenes pass. You'll get to mingle (very briefly) with rock stars. Partake in a few ounces of free booze. And high-five beautiful groupies. Anyway, Saturday was one of those "sometimes" for Crossfade photo guy Ian...

Anyway, Saturday was one of those "sometimes" for Crossfade photo guy Ian Witlen. The way he puts it: "British folk-punk musician Frank Turner was kind enough to invite me backstage for a drink and chat about the last few days on the road with Social Distortion and Lucero."

Check the cut for Ian's candid snapshots and even more candid captions.
