Robert Forster @ Brisbane Powerhouse, 18.09.2010

I really like Robert Forster and have enjoyed all the times I’ve seen him play live but there was something disappointing about tonight.  It was billed as ’15 Songs About Brisbane’ so I expected 15 songs about Brisbane.  I didn’t doubt that there would be a fair number of Go Betweens’ songs, the early songs […]


ATP Mt Buller: Part 5

If there is one major criticism that could be leveled at the ATP Australian line-up, it’s that it’s very male and very middle-aged. In that respect, Afrirampo are like a breath of fresh air. Sure, they have the whole clichéd Japanese female punk band thing, with the colorful outfits (resplendent with artistic face make up), the […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties – Mt Buller: Saturday Quick Round-Up

Saturday was probably an even better day than Friday. Here’s a quick round-up. Time to start going through all the photos in a bit more detail now and to try to remember all the things that happened over the weekend, a tall order all things considered. I probably should have taken some notes as I […]


Coming Soon: All Tomorrow’s Parties @ Mount Buller

Got confirmed yesterday to go and take photos at All Tomorrow’s Parties at Mount Buller, down in Victoria. It’s going to be awesome. Also going as a punter to the show at the Brisbane Riverstage, to get an extra fix of Spiritualized whilst they’re in the country.  And look to replace my two well-worn glow-in-the-dark Spiritualized t-shirts…  […]


Robert Forster @ Brisbane Powerhouse

Got another of those last minute requests, this time to cover Robert Forster‘s gig at the Brisbane Powerhouse, which I couldn’t say no to.  Unfortunately it was a 3 songs and escorted out of the venue job, which was a shame as I always enjoy seeing him play.  In addition, it was a bit of a […]


Splendour In The Grass 2008– Part 5

Eighteen year old teen sensation Laura Marling pulls a pretty sizeable crowd in the GW McLennan tent. Although I’d seen the name before, mainly in the UK broadsheets, I’d not heard her music. It’s quiet, acoustic, sounds a bit like Joni Mitchell and is a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon soundtrack. On stage she cuts a […]


Splendour In The Grass – Sunday Quick Round Up

Just got back to Brisbane.  Feeling a bit fuzzy due to lack of sleep.  Here are some photos from Sunday at Splendour.  A few more are on flickr.  A more comprehensive set of photos on the way with some proper blogs.

The Brisbane Sound

A few weeks ago it was Brisbane Sounds; this time around it was The Brisbane Sound, as in the definitive article. As part of the exhibition, there was a series of three concerts; I went to the second one, curated by Robert Forster. Although the exhibition was celebrating the indie and experimental music scenes and […]


Quick Catch-up, with Robert Forster + Young & Restless + Butcher Birds

Been doing too much photographing and not enough updating stuff recently… The week after Pig City photographed Robert Forster who was playing a residency at The Powerhouse, doing a different album in full each night for 4 nights with the line-up that recorded each album. Originally put in for final night when he was playing […]
