Live Concert Photography: Bella Litsa with May Rio and Eliana Glass at Night Club 101 2/27/26
Things have been busy in The Joy of Violent Movement: Last week, I covered the St. Pat’s For All Parade in Sunnyside, Queens and The New Colossus Festival‘s seventh edition. So, I was busy bouncing around town, photographing people, bands and artists, chatting with bands, labels and fellow photographers, bloggers and others.
But before that, I was at Night Club 101 to catch rising singer/songwriter Bella Litsa play a headlining show to celebrate the release of her gorgeous new album, Drasticism, which includes album tracks “Angelica,” “Passion Plug,” “Never Ending Movie,” the Tori Amos and Lonny-like “1117” and “Tied Together By a Silver Thread.” May Rio and Eliana Glass opened up the night with some equally gorgeous songs. Check out photos from the show below.

The Joy of Violent Movement is a completely independent and completely D.I.Y. media outlet. Over the course of this site’s 15+ year history, I’ve used my fiercely independent stance to cover music with an eclectic and global perspective that a lot of other publications just don’t have — and will likely never have.
To that end, I could use your support to continue to keep bringing you my unique global perspective on music. There are a number of ways that you can support this work.
I’ve been told that some people would prefer to make a one-time donation because it’s easy and less of an obligation. So, if you’re able to make a one-time donation, there’s a donation box below.
