Some photos from the Bluebottle Kiss gig at The Rev a couple weekends ago. Normal service was restored as far as the lighting at The Rev goes, which was a shame and the usual frustrating experience. The Gin Club supported and included Danica making her debut singing with them.
Few photos below and more on Flickr.

Some more photos that have been sat on my hard drive for a while. This was a warm up gig for The Exploders before they played at Splendour In The Grass a few days later. They should turn the lights on a bit more often at The Rev…

I have been away with work to Cairns, then been really busy writing up reports to meet deadlines, then only had the mental capacity to mong out and watch bad tv and play ISS Pro 5. So there’s a few things on my hard drive that I’ve not gotten around to sorting out.
First up is some photos from Howling Bells when they played The Rev Friday 30th June, the day before flew up to Cairns.
..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). Oddly enough as they re-located to Tooting in London they would have only been a 10 min bus ride from where I moved from in sunny Wimbledon.
Far too may photos of Shane. I think I was trying to re-create Rankin’s photo of Robbie Williams…
Some here and the rest on Flickr.
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 the bed with Mike from The Mean Streaks. Coped with work largely due to McDonald’s sausage and egg mcmuffin meal and coffee, although this had worn out by lunch so was a bit leisurely getting back to the office in Brisbane. Leisurely as in via Ikea to buy bookshelf and a 2 hour lunch sorting out car rego.
But a can of red bull and a kit kat later and was ready to go again. Same bill as in Byron at The Rev in Brisbane.
As had gone for long shots in Byron decided that would use my fave f2.8 70-200 and do close up shots for tonight. And made later decision hat as there had been some ok lighting that would do colour for once. Not sure if these were good choices as have already had death threats from Danica for the photos posted from tonight…
Maybe if have enough time ever might go back and see what they look like in b+w. But I think there’s some cool ones, esp Faker. Was lucky enough to be sat up top on the balcony when they got people up on stage so got some good photos of that.
Anyway a few shots here and more can be seen at: The Rev Photos

The Gin Club photos from Friday 17 March at The Rev are now on the Naked Dwarf website.
A few nice ones. I like this one.
