Texas Tea + Shifting Sands + Johnny & The Fembots @ Black Bear Lodge, 09.06.2013
It’s been a long while since I’ve seen Black Bear Lodge (the old Troubadour) this busy. It’s Texas Tea last show until 2014, with the band heading off for a European tour and then Kate heading off to Sweden for the year, which hopefully brought in a fair number of people. It’s also the Sunday […]
Texas Tea + The Gin Club + The Madisons + James X. Boyd & The Boydoids @ The Zoo, 26.10.2012
They’re far too few and far between in my book, but Texas Tea album launches are always a highlight of any year. I can’t believe it’s been four years since the last one. Where did the time go? They’re a highlight not only because they see the official release of a new set of songs […]
Texas Tea @ Black Bear Lodge, 17.08.2012
Following on from a blast of 2005 courtesy of The Dangerman last time, tonight brings another step back in time to those happy days in the Brisbane music scene and the first band I ever saw after moving to Brisbane, Texas Tea. The band are playing the same room as they did then, but as […]
Mere Noise Meltdown 2011 @ Woodland, 03.12.2011
Out of all the people putting out music in Brisbane, Mere Noise is by far and away my favourite label and has been the whole time I’ve lived in Brisbane. Mere Noise might have a much smaller roster of active bands than some of Brisbane’s more glamorous, bigger and well connected labels but those bands but are […]
Sounds Like Brisbane @ Brisbane CBD, 18.06.2010
A nice way to spend an evening in the city, although I’m not sure if there was any lasting benefit by getting more people in Brisbane interested in the bands in their city. Up until tonight I never realised there was that little laneway behind where Skinny’s used to be, down a little lane off […]
Texas Tea @ The Troubadour 12-03-10
Due to the amount of time I spend there – consistently a third of the gigs I go to each year – I often think of The Zoo as my second home. Coming up a close third has to be The Troubadour, and in particular Texas Tea at The Troubadour; the very first band I saw […]
Andrew Morris + Texas Tea @ The Globe
It’s the first time I’ve seen Texas Tea since their album launch back at the end of November. After an all-star cast that night, it’s back to just Kate and Ben tonight. The band sound as good as ever though. Having photographed them on so many occasions, including my very first gig as a Brisbane […]
Texas Tea Album Launch @ The Globe
All the way back in August 2007 I had the great privilege to spend an evening with Brisbane’s very own Johnny and June, Texas Tea, during the recording of their second album, ‘The Junkship Recordings‘, up at Jamie Trevaskis‘ home studio up at The Gap. It was an amazing experience to sit and watch them rehearse and […]
4ZZZ Tater Stomp @ The Troubadour with Dick Desert and Texas Kate
Another last minute request to cover a show, this time the second night of the 4ZZZ Tater Stomp at The Troubadour. Like most photographers I am a very wary Troubadour photographer and it comes bottom of the list for requesting shows to cover unless it’s someone that I really, really want to see. Whilst it’s […]
MereNoise Meltdown
Had a great night at the MereNoise Meltdown festival at The Globe at the start of the month (2 June). Load of photos on Rave’s website and dumped bigger versions on flickr. The flickr shots are as I intended them to be; had to reshape them for Rave after they had initially been done. The […]
