The Widowbirds @ The Metro, Sydney 09/07/2010
The Widowbirds opened for Ash Grunwald at The Metro earlier this month. I really enjoyed their set: a great stripped-back feel and sweeeet sounds

The Preachers @ OAF, Sydney 16/07/2010
The Preachers warmed up the crowd for Black Cab at the Oxford Art Factory last week, and I feel like they deserve a blog post of their own given how much I loved their bluesy, folky, stomping sounds.

Black Cab @ OAF, Sydney 16/07/2010
Black Cab drew quite a crowd to the Oxford Art Factory last Friday, in which were some very dedicated fans. Shooting conditions weren’t great, but the atmosphere was buzzin’

Blood, Sweat & Beers @ The Annandale, Sydney 10/07/2010
This mini festival has to have one of the best names, and I was lucky enough to be asked by Blunt Magazine to shoot the action. The Annandale Hotel has a cunning setup, whereby each of their two stages faces the other at opposite ends of the room; when one band has finished playing, all the punters have to do is spin around 180 and the next band is go! One of these stages was lit with the usual vividly-coloured LED mumbo jumbo and the other with very dim house lighting which required a flash. The event was headlined by Melbournites Mid Youth Crisis, so most of my shots were of them. Anyway enough waffle, here are some of my favourites.

Ash Grunwald @ The Metro, Sydney 09/07/2010
Ash Grunwald put on a pretty relaxed show at The Metro on Friday. I was loving the drummer-at-one-side-of-the-stage-and-junk-percussionist-at-the-other setup. And the dirty heavy bluesy sounds weren’t too bad either

The Snowdroppers @ OAF, Sydney 25/06/2010

Hell City Glamours @ OAF, Sydney 25/06/2010
The Oxford Art Factory (OAF) is one of central Sydney’s most important live music venues (although I’m sure that can be said of many places). Great acts, great sound and a great atmosphere, even if getting the shots means being in the mosh pit. Read more »

Sideways Hitchhiker @ Spectrum, Sydney 18/06/2010
Well, it looks like I’m back in the saddle shooting gigs again! Thanks to a couple of great Aussie online music communities (namely FasterLouder and MusicFeeds) there’s a steady stream of gigs to cover, mostly in cramped and badly lit bars. Where better to hone one’s skills? Read more »
