Matchbox 20

Enjoy!!

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!

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...

Maximo Park

Thinking back through the great gigs I have been to this year I thought of Maximo Park who played one of the shows of the year at Fowlers Live in August.

I'm on Holidays!

I'm currently enjoying 4 months of touring the world! So for those of you who check this site, sorry!

I will endevour to post more gig pics that haven't made it up when I get some time! There is quite a bit to catch up on!

Stay tuned early next year for Big Day Out photos and many more!

Cheers

Countdown Spectacular 2 Promo Shoot

I was trawling back through some photos before I head overseas for a few months and found this shot which I took for dB Magazine to promote the Countdown Spectacular 2 Concerts about 2 months ago. The photo is of John Paul Young, Richard Clapton and Martha Davis.

I was only given about 3 minutes with them and it was all very rushed as they were running late to get to a radio interview on the other side of town but they were all really nice about it! Whilst the interview was being done I found the "Star Suite" door and thought it summed up the event.

Update 2 - The Cure

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to shoot The Cure for dB Magazine. From all reports it was a really great show! (I couldn't stay) It has been a really busy couple of months for gigs in Adelaide and late September/October are going to be even crazier!
