Some photos from the Bluebottle Kiss gig at The Rev a couple weekends ago. Normal service was restored as far as the lighting at The Rev goes, which was a shame and the usual frustrating experience. The Gin Club supported and included Danica making her debut singing with them.
Few photos below and more on Flickr.

Some more photos that have been sat on my hard drive for a while. This was a warm up gig for The Exploders before they played at Splendour In The Grass a few days later. They should turn the lights on a bit more often at The Rev…

My exhibition at Ric’s finished on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who said nice stuff to me about my photos. And extra super thanks to the people that bought photos; I’m really flattered and honoured that you thought that highly of my photos to think them good enough to hang on your walls.
I’ll probably do another one next year. On possible pain of death it will include more photos of girls next time…
I took a few photos before I took it down.
I photographed Arctic Monkeys last night at The Arena. I’d been looking forward to it but it, especially as The Grates were supporting. But then I got told that had to be there at 9pm to be escorted in, and then be escorted out after the first three songs. So no Grates photos. And had to sign contract saying that for 3 months the photos could only be on the publication that was doing it for. So if you want to see them they’re here:
Whilst it’s nice to take your time, I don’t have a problem with the three song rule generally. However, it’s annoying (and seemingly typical) when the first song is played in the dark, the second is loads of strobe backlighting, and the third is mostly red lighting. Having said that I was pretty pleased with a few of the shots I got. There’s a nice one of the drummer that I really like, where there’s a tiny bit of light but it’s on his eye. Even though only saw three songs they were sounding really good.
And to make up for no Grates shots, here’s one from the unseen archives of the lovely Alana playing at Falls Festival last December.
I have been away with work to Cairns, then been really busy writing up reports to meet deadlines, then only had the mental capacity to mong out and watch bad tv and play ISS Pro 5. So there’s a few things on my hard drive that I’ve not gotten around to sorting out.
First up is some photos from Howling Bells when they played The Rev Friday 30th June, the day before flew up to Cairns.
