Duran Duran @ BEC, 17.03.2012
Although I don’t really put in for many shows at the BEC (it’s such a long way to go to hang around waiting for a band and then get kicked out after three songs and have to come all the way back again) I just really fancied covering Duran Duran for a bit of old time nostalgia. […]
First Aid Kit + Little Scout @ The Zoo, 16.03.2012
As is becoming a habit for me, I don’t get there in time to see Big Strong Brute and as the actual times have been changed from those advertised I also manage to miss the start of Little Scout. The band say that they haven’t played for six months but I think I probably saw them […]
Real Estate + Feathers @ The Zoo, 13.03.2012
Running late again, I get to The Zoo twenty minutes after Tight Slip are due to start but with still another ten minutes left of their set. I can hear them playing as I walk up to the venue’s front door, but in the time it takes to walk up the stairs, get my hand […]
Wild Flag + Love Of Diagrams + Blank Realm @ The Zoo, 11.03.2012
By the time I get to The Zoo, Blank Realm have already started. Walking up the stairs of the venue they already sound really good but then I realise that I’ve probably seen them most often at Woodland with its terrible sound. They’ve always been good and I’ve always really enjoyed seeing them but everything […]
Future Music Festival @ Doomben Racecourse, 03.03.2012 – Quick Round Up
It isn’t just the onset of wrinkles, grey hair and middle-age spread that marks a movement into old age, there’s a whole, non-physical, psychological aspect that goes with it, the grumpiness and especially the increasing lack of patience and tolerance for idiots. This reaches its natural end point, some would say nadir, when you start […]
Metronomy + Oscar+Martin @ The Zoo, 04.01.2012
I came to Metronomy initially through reviews and interviews, rather than by actually hearing any of their songs. The point of interest was that the band’s main songwriter and singer, Joseph Mount, comes from Totnes, a small town just south of Dartmoor about 45 minutes drive away from where I come from. Devon is not […]
Big Day Out @ Gold Coast Parklands, 22.01.2012 – Quick Round Up
Sunday was my second time at the Big Day Out with a photo pass. My day of photographing 21 bands looked like this (it would have been 22 but thanks to Kanye West being 45 minutes late, I missed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds). View 1/22/12 11:06 AM in a larger map Total distance: 14.73km […]
