Adelaide International Guitar Festival

Last week I shot The Adelaide International Guitar Festival for dB Magazine. The night saw three of Australia's favourite rock bands crank out the tunes in Elder park as part of the 2nd annual guitar festival.

Magic Dirt opened the night with a solid performance followed by Shihad and Grinspoon finished up the night with a good (but to short!) performance.

The crowd was a bit dissapointing but the weather probably had something to do with this!

Update

Photos from three previous huge shows which I did not put up links for are below! Visit the links and see all the photos at Fasterlouder!!

Devo

Last week I caught Devo at Thebarton Theatre. They have been around for over 30 years but and still put on a great show pulling out all their hits!! Photos below and more can be found at Fasterlouder.

Powderfinger

Been a while between drinks....

Next week I am shooting Powderfinger as part of their 'Upstairs at the Downstairs Tour' for Fasterlouder. Should be a great show going on the last time I saw them which was in March this year as part of the Clipsal 500 after race concerts.

Stay tuned for photos next week! I also have a few more gigs waiting in the wings....

The Foo Fighters

Thursday night saw The Foo Fighters return to Adelaide to play one of the most anticipated shows of the year. The show was absolutely amazing and no one left dissapointed! Dave Grohl played out of his skin, interacting with the crowd and pulling out all the rock moves.

I was taking photos on the night for Fasterlouder which can be found here. The review of the show really highlights what a great night was had by all with the Foo's pulling out all stops to play an epic night of great rock music.

Stay tuned....

Matchbox 20

Last week I got to shoot Matchbox 20 at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Although I am not really a fan, what I saw of them was quite solid. Rob Thomas pulled out all the hits and really played to the crowd! Due to copyright I cannot post my photos here but I was there shooting for Fasterlouder and all the shots can be seen here.

More updates to come!

Big Day Out 08: Silverchair

Some more photos from this years Big Day Out. This time it's some of Aussie rock legends, Silverchair. Unfortunately on the day they didn't live up to their hype and were a bit flat.

More photos to come!

Big Day Out 08: Rage Against the Machine

Having just returned from overseas I was straight back into it last week shooting the Adelaide leg of the Big Day Out circus for dB Magazine.

It was a great day as usual with a great variety of acts playing and the largest crowd ever at the event in Adelaide. There was only one band one the bill that most people had come to see... Rage Against the Machine! Having grown up as a teenager wanting to rebel the system, these guys provided the theme music.

RATM are one of only 3 acts that I have wished for the last 10 years to be able to see at some stage during my life. With the other two being Nirvana and Jeff Buckley I was hedging my bets on RATM!

The band did not disappoint playing a huge best of set to thousands of screaming and moshing punters. From the moment they stepped onto the stage they really hit the crowd with everything they had and no one left disappointed!

Stay tuned for more photos from this years Big Day Out!
