Vanlustbader
..so a few power naps later and it was time to go again. This time to Vanlustbader at The Rev. The first gig I went to in Oz was Vanlustbader at The Hopetoun in May 2004. They were supported by Wolfmother. Two years later and they’re BACK! BACK! BACK! (as Smash Hits might have said). […]

Side Effects + Butcher Birds Photos
Been a long few weeks with too much proper work and far too much overtime but decided I needed a bit of a break today so sorted out the photos of Butcher Birds at The Rev and Side Effects at Ric’s from couple of Fridays ago. The next few weeks are going to be bad […]
Diamond Nights + Flamingo Crash
The Troubadour – the best sound in Brisbane, the nicest owners/bar staff/door bitches, a really great venue all round….BUT the worst lighting. Kinda like one of those black holes that sucks all the light out of the known universe… Is my new ambition in life to take a decent set of photos there. An improvement […]
Beasts Of Bourbon + SixFtHick + Mary Trembles
A great night out with Beasts of Bourbon, SixFtHick and Mary Trembles last Saturday at QUT. Since I saw/heard them for the first time at this year’s BDO had been looking forward to the chance to shoot them. Didn’t get a wristband at the door but was happy enough shooting from the crowd, from behind […]
Flash-ahhhh with Wulvs and The Hi-Waves
Dusted off my expensive and flash…errr….flash and took it out for a test drive at the Wulvs and Hi-Waves gig at Fat Louie’s a few weeks back. Only the second time that I’ve have tried it out. And it shows. Much more practice needed… Was trying to do some slow sync stuff but it’s more […]
Augie March + Dan Kelly And The Alpha Males
A bit late-coming with these photos, but had problems uploading them to the website (Gig was back on the 3rd May). Photos are a bit meh. I’d give them a pretty average 5/10. Always tough doing sold out gigs with no photo pit as I prefer to be a bit back from the stage and […]
Cosmic Psychos + Sixfthick
The usual Saturday night trials and tribulations. Gf out with mates, 1 1/2 hours late back, and drunk. So by the time we get to The Zoo have missed Dick Nasty and half of Sixfthick. Worse mosh pit ever. Am just too old for that stuff these days. And it’s even worse when stood there […]
Day Four: The Mean Streaks Do Coolangatta
Almost didn’t make it for this one due to my neighbour blocking my car in but eventually managed to squeeze out, with only a teeny tiny detour via the back wall… The Mean Streaks were on ridiculously early, being a Sunday night and all. Luckily it was so early that the lighting guy obviously hadn’t […]
Day Three: The Mean Streaks Do The Six Ft Hick Album Launch
Out of all the dates definitely the night that everyone had been most looking forward to. Jo forgot to put me on the door, so it’s a good job it was SixFtHick and my money was going to a good cause, otherwise it might have been an early night for me… The Mean Streaks played […]
Day Two: The Mean Streaks Do Brisbane
After the worst night’s sleep ever, largely thanks to drunken backpackers being thrown out the pubs at 3am and getting kebabs at the place across the road from my room, it was up at 7am and to meetings in the Gold Coast. If there was any small consolation it was that didn’t have to share […]
Day One: The Means Streaks Do Byron
Hit the road last Thursday for a mini tour with The Mean Streaks as part of shooting 17 bands in 5 days. As much as you can do a tour when you only spend one night away from home… First stop: Byron for the gig at the Great Northern with Faker, Van She and The […]
