Soundwave 2010 @ RNA Showgrounds, 20.02.2010 – Part 2
Late afternoon – early evening Paramore so crazy, so bad. Sounds like Avril Lavigne. V depressing that this is what girls aspire to. 3:56 PM Feb 20th via mobile web Thanks to the fucker in the Reel Big Fish crowd who just spat a huge greeny on me. 4:13 PM Feb 20th via mobile web Think [...]
Unconvention @ The Edge, 12 & 13 June 2010
I really wish I’d written some notes about the first UnConvention back in June 2010. Normally I try to add a few notes to use as a basis for a post when I set it up in WordPress or alternatively copy and paste relevent tweets into the draft post to act as an aide memoire [...]
Valley Fiesta 2010, Brunswick Street Mall, 11.09.2010
Valley Fiesta passed through Brisbane for another year only a few weeks back [or at least it did when I wrote this post]. As I was working at the office over the weekend, I popped across after I was done there, first to see the Ben Salter/Kate Jacobson duo, Gonesville, at Black Bear Lodge, before [...]
Parklife 2010 @ The Riverstage, 25.09.2010 – The Punters
First published on Collapse Board In thinking of a few words to write for this post, and reminiscing back to Saturday, it struck me that despite everything, i.e. a dance music festival and an obscene amount of really obvious drug use, there wasn’t an awful lot of dancing actually going on. With perfect timing, the [...]
Splendour In The Grass 2010 – Day 3
Day Three of Splendour and the battery in my mobile lasts long enough for a single tweet: Tent collapse. Slept in car. Need hat. Bad hair. Festival oversold. Florence carnage. Raisin bread and can of mother for breakfast. #sitg. It’s a good summary of Saturday night/Sunday morning. I keep seeing the reformed Pixies and they [...]
That Was The Year That Was 2010
Somehow I’ve managed to make it into the second half of February without the traditional round-up of the previous year. Every year I get to this post and start off by saying the year was even more hectic than the one before and 2010 was no different. Year-on-year the number of gigs I’m photographing (and [...]
Me vs Splendour In The Grass 2010
Having photographed Splendour In The Grass in 2008 and 2009, I find myself in an interesting position for 2010. I have a free media pass but because Mess+Noise (who I’m covering the festival for) forgot to apply for a photo pit pass before the deadline and before all of the passes were allocated, I don’t [...]
Kid Sam + Deep Sea Arcade @ The Troubadour 20-04-10
Although I did see a few Kid Sam songs at this year’s Laneway Festival, I will admit that choosing to request this show was largely a result of them being nominated for the Australian Music Prize, just in case they won the award at the previous week’s winner’s announcement. In the end, rightly or wrongly the [...]
BluesFest 2010 – Friday
What I Learnt From BluesFest 2010: Photography and camping don’t mix; 2010 is the year when anyone with a camera can get accreditation to the big music festivals. When they’re having to split the photographers into two groups in order to make it manageable and it’s not even the main stage headliners you’ve given out [...]
Soundwave 2010 – Quick Round Up – Part 2
Soundwave 2010 Quick Round Up Part 2. A gallery of my photos from the day is on The Vine. Eagles Of Death Metal Taking Back Sunday HIM Escape The Fate Reel Big Fish Set Your Goals Anthrax
Soundwave 2010 – Quick Round Up – Part 1
I photographed Soundwave in Brisbane last weekend. It was very much a last minute thing and at the start of the week I wasn’t expecting to be photographing, as much as I wanted to do it. I will probably get around to blogging in a bit more detail sometime but it was a bit of [...]
Brisbane Sounds 2010 Media Launch @ The Zoo
One gig that has always been scribbled in my diary for the last couple of years has been the annual Brisbane Sounds gig at The Zoo. The night is a showcase of local bands used as a fundraiser to raise money for a promotional CD sampler of Brisbane bands. You can read more about it [...]
