Silversun Pickups

Sitting here doing some work listening to the Silversun Pickupsbrought back some memories. I saw these guys support The Birds of Tokyo a couple of months ago here in Adelaid. The sound mix was terrible but these guys put on a great show!

Bullet For My Valentine

Last week I took photos of Bullet For My Valentine on their current Australian tour at Thebarton Theatre. It was an epic setup and the crowd were pumped! A massive couple of months of live music coming up in Adelaide so stay tuned!

The Biggest Lady in Music...

Last week I shot The Gossip at Thebarton Theatre. They have been talked up a lot over the last year... the crowd at the show were definately into them! Beth Ditto belted out the tunes as she danced her way around the stage. They put on quite a solid show with Beth interacting with the crowd throughout the show.

Eskimo Joe @ Thebarton Theatre Part 1

Last Night I took photos of Eskimo Joe for dB Magazine at Thebarton Theatre. It had been a while since I had seen these guys play. The last time I took pics of them was Falls Festival 2007.

I can still remember taking pictures these guys play as a three-piece in the front bar of the Holdfast Hotel in Glenelg to a room of about 100 people back in about 2001 when they were relatively unknown.... how things have changed for these guys.

More Photos to come.

The Year That Was... Part 1

As the year draws to a close I thought it was time to share the years highlights! Below are some of my favourite shots from some of the great gigs of 2007. Happy New Year!

Robert Smith from The Cure showed that they still have what it takes to play a blistering set at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in August.

On the theme of veteran rockers, Alice Cooper blew people away at Thebarton Theatre in July.

The biggest show of the year went to Adelaide's own, Hilltop Hoods who managed to blend their hip-hop sound with the full Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Amazing!

Kasabian played to a large crowd at the Adelaide Big Day Out and really impressed.

Dinosaur Jr get the gong for the loudest show of the year! They blew eardrums at the Governor Hindmarsh in July.

Stay tuned for part 2...

Update 1 - Black Sabbath

A couple of weekends ago I was lucky enough to shoot three huge shows - Black Sabbath, The Shins and The Cure! I was in photographers heaven.

At the Black Sabbath show which was called Heaven and Hell as Ozzy Osbourne wasn't involved I was the only photographer. Even in Adelaide this is extremely rare! The band was touring the "Dio Years" which was the short time where Ronnie James Dio was the frontman for the group.

They were supported by "Down" who are fronted by ex-Pantera boy, Phil. It was a really loud rock'n show! More photos at Fasterlouder.

Alice Cooper

Last night I shot the Adelaide leg of the Alice Cooper tour at Thebarton Theatre. I only got to stay for the first four songs but from what I saw and heard it would have been a great show! I was shooting the show for local street press, dB Magazine.
