Soundwave 2010 Part Two!

Here are some more photos from Soundwave Festival 2010 last weekend. What a great even and all the reviews written have really rated Adelaide's event right up there!

Soundwave Part One

Yesterday saw the Soundwave juggernaut hit Adelaide and hit it hard it did. With the strongest lineup of all the festivals this summer there were high expectations for this years event.

With names like Faith No More, Jane's Addiction and Placebo on the bill it was going to be a big day. Big kudos to the Soundwave 2010 organisers for putting on a great festival.

The festival seems to be going from strength to strength and after only three years on the scene is a great addition to the festival circuit. Once again I was shooting for the mighty dB Magazine.

More photos to come over the next couple of weeks including more from the Big Day Out last month.

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.

Muse and Powderfinger @ Big Day Out

Some more photos from the recent Adelaide Big Day Out. It was a massive day and great to shoot. I was working for The Vine on the day.

It's coming...

There's been a hold up! I'm interstate for a the next week or so and as a result I won't be able to launch the new site until I am back...

In the meantime head on over to the Triple J website and check out my first shoot for them. I shot Kisschasy and Regular John at HQ in Adelaide on a cold, wet weeknight!

New Site Coming!

My new site is almost ready to launch which is very exciting! Check back over the next week or two to see the newly designed website for Rockpics. I will still be keeping the blog up and going but have built a new fancy website to showcase my photos in a more user friendly format.

Big Day Out 2010 Announced...And an Extra Show

Big Day Out Headliner, Muse

Just over two weeks ago the Big Day Out 2010 lineup was announced. There has been a lot of debate about the strength of next years lineup considering many of the bands are bands that tour Australia a lot or have played the Big Day Out many times.

All that aside, the Sydney Big Day Out sold out in a reported ten minutes... so much for a weak lineup! This morning a second Sydney show was announced which will be only the second time this has happened in the Big Day Out's history.

The main acts confirmed with the first announcement are Muse, Powderfinger, Eskimo Joe, Grinspoon, Kasabian, Lily Allen, Mars Volta, Groove Armada, Rise Against, Girl Talk and Mastodon.

Grinspoon

What will the second announcement bring??

Kasabian: Big Day Out 2007

Stuck With My Leg Up!

Gyroscope

The Living End

I had surgery last week on my ankle so haven't been able to shoot anything... but looking back through some photos from earlier this year I found some shots that hadn't seen the light of day. I was shooting the Clipsal 500 concert in Adelaide for Fasterlouder featuring local lads The Shiny Brights as well as The Butterfly Effect, Gyroscope and The Living End.

The Shiny Brights


I hope to update this blog (and start building my new site) over the next few weeks while my leg is up! Stay tuned for photos from the recent All American Rejects Tour and more from Eskimo Joe and Soundwave.
