Pulled Apart By Horses + YELLOWCATREDCAT + Release The Hounds @ Crowbar, 29.10.2015
When I saw Pulled Apart By Horses at Soundwave a few years back, they were one of the standout bands of the day. I thought there was something Zeppelin-esque in the riffs even though listening to them on Spotify the following day while editing the photos, they sounded nothing like them. It’s one of those […]
E^ST + Golden Vessel, Mid Ayr @ Black Bear Lodge, 01.10.2015
On the Wednesday night I stayed in the Valley after work as Kirin J Callinan was playing a random Brisbane show at Brightside. After having some food (burrito), I headed to the venue at around 8:30pm only to find that the headliner was playing a 10:40 to 11:30pm set. On a Wednesday. So I just […]
Sixfthick + HITS + Deafcult @ Crowbar, 26.09.2015
The only note I made for this show was that my ears were still ringing on the Monday. And that was with wearing earplugs. Every time a band I like and/or want to see announces a tour and the Brisbane date is at Crowbar, I die a bit inside. I’m sure they’re lovely people, it’s […]
BIGSOUND 2015, 10.09.2015 – Part 2
The final set of photos from BigSound 2015. Highlights were Jonny Telephone at Ric’s, one of the pleasant surprises of the whole thing, and, as yesterday, Major Leagues and Totally Mild. I’d never seen Waax before and they were fun to photograph as was Milwaukee Banks. I’m not a fan of the music but really […]
BIGSOUND 2015, 10.09.2015 – Part 1
As for Parts 1 and 2 from the first night of showcases, these photos are presented alphabetically rather than in chronological order from the night. Looking through them now it’s hard to remember anything or anyone that really stood out from this selection of bands. Maybe Darts, maybe Sui Zhen? That’s the trouble with cramming […]
BIGSOUND 2015, 09.09.2015 – Part 2
I’ve been too lazy to sort out the Bigsound photos by the time the acts played, instead you get them by alphabetical order, with Part 2 of the first night being the bands starting with a letter between L – W. Highlights from this set of photos from the first night of showcases are Major […]
BIGSOUND 2015, 09.09.2015 – Part 1
I went to BigSound and photographed a lot of bands across the two nights of live showcases. It’s one of those occasions where photo opportunities are maximised at the expense of spending time with any of the acts. Highlights from this first set of photos were the musically-worlds-apart Aldous Harding and High Tension. The Aldous […]
Blank Realm + Nite Fields + 100%, 05.09.2015
Nine months and more on, I realised that I’d completely missed to log this show or write any notes about it. It was the launch party for Blank Realm’s latest album and a good show from what I remember, with good supports too, although also the usual frustration of photographing Blank Realm in poorly lit […]
The Smith Street Band + The Grates + Deafcult @ Crowbar , 22.07.2015
The advert for this show was a strange bill. Deafcult were the only band I’d heard of and although I wanted to get around to finally seeing them, it was a bit pricey, at $20, for a couple of bands I’d never heard of. Googling the bands showed me that one of them was the […]
Alpine + Pearls + Olympia @ Triffid, 03.07.2015
It was a surprise to open Brisbane street press publication, ‘The Music’, a couple of weeks ago and find that the lead review for that edition only gave the new Alpine album 2.5 stars. Obviously whether or not it was worthy of 2.5 stars is neither here nor there, albums by Australian acts getting anything […]
