Story Of The Year + The Audition at The Tivoli
 Last Friday I had a very last minute request to photograph Story Of The Year supported by The Audition at The Tivoli. Whilst not being overly familiar with the band I know from having seen photos that they love their jumping. Having had such a good time at Soundwave photographing jumping bands I couldn’t [...]
Whitesnake: 1987 And All That
If you’re male, a long-time music fan and somewhere between your mid-30s and early 40s you’ll probably have a large and varied record collection.  But I can almost guarantee that somewhere in that collection, possibly hidden towards the back, is a copy of ’1987′ by Whitesnake.  I can remember back to my first year at university in 1990 [...]
Toto @ The Tivoli
Ever since I have started going to gigs one of my main thoughts as I walk up to the venue concerns just how popular the band playing is and how many people will be there; my ultimate nightmare is that they’ll be playing to near empty room of the proverbial three men and a dog [...]
Don’t Look Back: Died Pretty + Ed Kuepper
The Don’t Look Back series of concerts finally made it across to Australia this month, although in typical and familiar fashion Brisbane got the rough end of the deal with only one concert – the double bill of Died Pretty playing ‘Doughboy Hollow’ and Ed Kuepper playing ‘Honey Steel’s Gold’ – missing out on the [...]
The Darkside of Ryan Adams
First two songs, no flash from the back of the room, which turned out to be the lighting desk at the front of the balcony. Still a long way from the stage. The kindly lighting guy warned us it was gonna be dark, and gave a little laugh… He wasn’t wrong… Although what was possibly [...]
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher was in town last Tuesday as part of his whirlwind semi-acoustic tour. The deal was supposed to be three songs and escorted out the venue (although by the time we were escorted to the pit he was already half way through the first song…). I was packing up afterwards and watching him play [...]
Gomez + The Vasco Era
After over a year of living in Brisbane I finally made it to The Tivoli. Really nice venue, lights that came in colours other than red; the only thing missing was a photo pit… Much fun was had trying to get away from the front when I decided that I was photographically spent and could [...]
