The UV Race

Here’s some photos from the backstage studio i had at Sydney’s Big Day Out for Fasterlouder.

Like the set up at Splendour in the Grass, we had broad theme and some props to go along with it.

We had a table or carnival/circus type props for the artists to choose from as they entered. Some chose to go with it, some weren’t into props.

CSS embraced the props

Lovefoxx from CSS

Bobbie Gillespie from Primal Scream

Lanie Lane

Lupe Fiasco

Andrew WK

Andrew WK was one of the most fun to photograph. Such a nice guy and willing to do anything for a good photo.

Although i wasn’t planning on it when i took the photos, while i was editing i thought it would be fun to combine some of his photos into one frame.

The only person who gave Andrew WK a run for his money in the jumping stakes was Joel from Airbourne with this herculean effort.

Birds of Tokyo got kinky

John Butler

I thought John Butler might be a bit too serious to play up for the camera but he didn’t hesitate to don a tutu and play the strongman.

Like the backstage Splendour Studio i shot last year, this year i had a photo studio set up backstage at Sydney’s Big Day Out for FasterLouder.

Here’s some snaps i took at MTV’s The Lair. It was a special one off show to coincide with V Festival featuring Smashing Pumpkins, Hot Hot Heat and Cansei de Ser Sexy.

Read Time Out’s account of it and check out more of my photos.

Here’s my photos from the V Festival in Sydney last weekend.

It’s quite a civilised festival as far as these things go. Not overcrowded, just three stages, not too many timetable clashes, great setting, good bands and a mix of young and old punters.

I was a Smashing Pumpkins fan back in the day, first seeing them at the Hordern Pavilion circa 1996. So it was a nostalgic rush to hear them open their set with the chiming guitar intro to Today.

It’s a pity anything Pumpkins post ’96 doesn’t interest me at all. Even if they will throw an attractive new bassist.

Róisín Murphy was notable for her mid set costume changes and attractive backup singers.

Robyn and her crazed dancing were fun to shoot.

Modest Mouse were playing but all eyes and lenses seemed to be trained on their ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

Glass Candy were a wild card for me and were quite fun. A languid lead singer and a baseball cap toting synth player.

I’m sure The Jesus and Mary Chain pleased their fans, i’m embarrasingly ignorant of the cult band.

This was the crowd for Cut Copy – who deserved to be in high spirits after news filtered through their new album debuted at number one on the charts.

CSS were lots of fun – but the sound mix was shocking and had the crowd chanting “turn it up!”.
