4ZZZ’s 40th Birthday Party @ The Old Museum, 04.12.2015
We’re into the last month of the year and a run of shows that I’m calling Gigmas. Thanks largely to all the Meredith sideshows happening in Brisbane, it’s a crazy nine shows in nine days, just like the good old days at Rave. It makes such a refreshing change to get some festival sideshows, given […]
Richmond Fontaine + Gentle Ben & His Sensitive Side @ The Troubadour, 29.05.2010

Brisbane Sounds 2009 @ The Zoo
It was only when I started processing these photos that the significance struck home; as a photographer you wait years, a lifetime perhaps, for that one perfect split second moment to create an icon, construct the legend or fuel the myth. I know that every few blog posts I end up including a link to this […]
Rocket Science
The first, and indeed last, time I saw Rocket Science was when I photographed the first Come Together festival at Luna Park in Sydney in April 2005. This was when it was a one day festival of smaller indie/alt Australian bands, before it became a two day metal/emo festival with Australian and International bands (although […]
