Cancer Bats are yet another one of those Stage 4 bands that, a few weeks on, I have no clear recollection of. All the Stage 4 band have just all blended into one. Danko Jones fill some time between bands, although I don’t know anything about them. Band fatigue has well and truly set in […]

Kyuss were another one of those bands that completely passed me by and I didn’t know much about them until I moved to Australia and found that they were really big in Newtown and their videos were always on the jukebox in the Sandringham. When the band come out, I’m trying to figure out if […]

If there’s one constant to take away from every Soundwave, it’s that any plans to photograph the first couple of bands of the day always go straight out of the window as the photo passes are never ready to collect from the box office in time. It’s the same story every year. Looking back at […]

Blink 182 play a rare Brisbane festival sideshow on the Friday night before Saturday’s Soundwave. The afternoon of the show takes an interesting turn on Twitter as Soundwave promoter, AJ Maddah, and Blink drummer, Travis Barker, become embroiled in a massive online spat that spans most of the afternoon.

I can remember saying when I got my first digital camera that I saw no reason to stop using my film camera and expected to keep using both cameras side-by-side. For a while I did keep photographing gigs in film and digital but it didn’t last too long. Since that time I’ve had rolls of random […]

This year’s Soundwave was a whole lot of hard work. Earlier in the week it looked like it was going to be a wash out, with heavy rain forecast for the week, bringing back memories of the 2011 festival and standing in a few inches of water at the second stage. Although there was some […]
