I photographed Hard-Fi and Vanlustbader at The Arena last night. Thanks to the joys of promoter contracts I can’t show you the photos but they’re here.
I was only allowed to photograph in the first 3 songs. I was walking out the pit at the start of Vanlustbader’s 4th song when whoever was running the lights decided to start putting on a light show. And it was even worse for Hard-Fi, who played the best part of the first 1 ½ songs in the dark before some decent lighting in song 3. It meant that I ended up with about 3 1/2 minutes to get some photos…
For both bands, I got to watch song 4 onwards thinking I could get some really great photos with this great lighting… yeah, awesome…
..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.
