Lisa Mitchell performs 'Into My Arms'

Triple j’s Nick Cave tribute show, dubbed Straight To You, rolled through Sydney’s Enmore theatre last week and i dropped by to take some pictures and catch up with old pals.

At the end of "Into my Arms" Lisa Mitchell embraces Jake Stone. Get it?

Miss Pole Dance Australia 2010

2008 Miss Pole Dance Australia Winner Felix Cane

Back in October i took some pictures at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2010 at the Enmore Theatre.

I spent most of my time backstage.

Felix Cane warms up backstage. She is ridiculously flexible.

While i’m at it, here’s some photos from last year’s competition.

Kaiser Chiefs at the Enmore

Daniel Boud — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:34:35 +0000

Last night i scored a last minute pass to snap Kaiser Chiefs at The Enmore Theatre.

They’re always a pleasure and a challenge to shoot.

A pleasure because lead singer Ricky is so animated, leaping about the stage with loads of energy. And a challenge for the same reasons, in low coloured lights all that movement is hard to freeze in a good shot.

It was a bit of a concert photographers reunion down the front. There was Lucky, Anthony, Ashley, Graham, Mark, Anna and more i’ve rudely forgotten.

And although he wasn’t there on the night, the ghost of Danny North was breathing down my neck challenging me to get something better than all his crackers. Can’t say i did.

Sydney Barmy for Russell Brand

Daniel Boud — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:39:22 +0000

Sydney seemed in the grip of Russell Brand fever when he visited last week to perform two sold out nights at the Enmore Theatre and Hordern Pavilion.

He’s got quite the reputation as a ladies man and I got to see the effect he has on womenfolk up close at an after party Time Out hosted for him at Ivy Pool Club.

Dozens and dozens of women were all clamouring for his attention, trying to talk their way into his VIP section of the party or dance sexily in his eye shot. It was a strange scene. The next day Russell tweeted that he “felt like an exhibit in a nit wit zoo”.

Here’s Russell with Time Out Sydney‘s editor Dan Rookwood and Ivy owner Justin Hemmes.

I was stuck downstairs for most of the night, snapping pictures on a Time Out media wall.

It can get a bit dull shooting the same old photo, so if people are up for something more creative then so am I.

You can see more pictures in the Russell Brand after party gallery or at Time Out Sydney.

Franz Ferdinand in Sydney

Daniel Boud — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:31:24 +0000

Straight off the plane from Fiji, sunburnt and dog-bitten, i made my way to the Enmore Theatre for Franz Ferdinand.

It was like 2004 all over again with Red Riders in support. It was the debut show of new guitarist, Brad Heald of The Vines. I guess he’s got time on his hands after The Vines indefinite hiatus.

Middle support was The Temper Trap who i think are rather awesome. Their live show expanded the four piece into six piece and sounded pretty amazing. They’ve conquered the local airwaves, getting a flogging for Sweet Disposition on Triple J and commercial radio and look set to do the same in the UK with the BBC and XFM both naming the band as ones to watch in 2009. The Aussie hype band of 2009.

And then it was the main event with Franz Ferdinand. I was a little unsure how they’d go down after being quiet for so long, but as soon as they strode on with confidence and charisma they had the crowd on side. Playing sing-a-long Do You Want To second song was an inspired move.

I’d tell you how the rest of the show was too but us photographers get turfed out after 3 songs.

On another Franz Ferdinand note, the artwork for their new album is pretty cool. It’s all Weegee inspired, shot in black and white and looking like crime scenes. On their blog Alex Kapranos writes,

“The photograph was taken by Soren Starbird by the side of the Barras in Glasgow. We’re shooting a series with photographers we like in different cities we end up in. The Ulysses cover was taken in Brooklyn by Guy Eppel and we were in Paris and Warsaw with Youri Lenquette and Joe Dilworth recently. They’re shot as imaginary crime scenes, invaded by the photographer. A slice of night frozen by flash.”

Clever idea and some great photographers. Nice to see a band come up with a creative concept for their photos. Would’ve been nice to do a Sydney one.

Miss Pole Dance 2008

Daniel Boud — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:11:56 +0000

A few weeks ago i had the pleasure of spending some time backstage at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2008.

Evidently pole dancing isn’t the sleazy underground pursuit it once was, with this event held at the 2000 capacity Enmore Theatre with most of the audience made up of women.

Behind the scenes it was relatively calm; lots of stretching, listening to iPods, doing hair and make-up and spraying of thighs with hairspray.

The winner of Miss Pole Dance Australia was Felix Cane from Perth.

Peaches live at the Enmore Theatre

Daniel Boud — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:13:47 +0000

Here’s some photos of Peaches from her gig at The Enmore Theatre last night.

She’s a great performer, always great fun to photograph.

It was back in 2003 i first chanced upon a gig of hers in the room next to The Metro.

With statuesque beautiful blonde dancers waving strap on prosthetic penises it was love at first sight.

She’s curtailed some of the excesses of her early shows, but it’s still a fun, explicit, confrontational performance.

Arcade Fire (finally) in Sydney

Daniel Boud — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:25:04 +0000

It’s been a while since i’ve had a serious case of nerves before shooting a gig, but they kicked in before shooting Arcade Fire at the Enmore Theatre the other week.

It wasn’t that i was anxious about the photos, it was the culmination of years of anticipation for finally seeing the band play live.

I discovered the band when i downloaded the song “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)” from one of those New York music blogs. I knew they had something special going on and i fell in love with their Funeral album which made my list of fave things in 2004.

Hanging about in the photo pit before the band came on, i couldn’t help but take a peek at the set list. I saw it was to start with “Wake Up” leading into “Keep The Car Running”, two of my faves. I was giddy like a schoolgirl.

The first three songs passed in a blur and all of a sudden us photographers were being escorted out of the venue. Thankfully we were allowed back in once we coat checked our cameras and Will and I came back in to enjoy the rest of the show.

Despite a bit of a lull in the middle of the set while they played some of their lesser known songs, they finished triumphant with a run of anthems leaving everyone beaming their way into the night.

On another note, it was a bit of a blogger clusterfuck with Sean, Amanda, Wayne, a polaroid, Paul, Angus and no doubt others in attendance.

See more photos of Arcade Fire at the Enmore Theatre or the Big Day Out.

Nick Cave and Grinderman

Daniel Boud — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 09:02:40 +0000

Here’s some photos from Nick Cave‘s gig at The Enmore Theatre tonight.

Nick Cave is a genuine Australian music legend. Unlike many of his generation who lost their mojo and grew complacent and boring from success, Nick Cave is still filled with more passion and venom than most half his age. His unique style and broad creative output is beyond compare.

In a cheeky move for this tour, his band Grinderman plays the support slot prior to Nick Cave’s solo set which was filled out by his bearded Grinderman band mates.

Here’s a clip of Grinderman performing on Later with Jools Holland.

For the gig tonight us photographers were restricted to shooting just one Nick Cave song, and none of Grinderman. Still, it was a privelege just watching.

Noel Gallagher solo in Sydney

Daniel Boud — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 19:05:49 +0000

I saw Noel Gallagher perform at the Enmore Theatre last night. He was in semi-acoustic mode, backed by Gem Archer on guitars and Terry Kirkbride on persussion.

Back in school i was rather obsessed with Oasis, well their first two albums. I kind of lost interest after that. So it was a treat to see Noel performing some of those classics. Cast No Shadow, Wonderwall, Slide Away, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Married With Children…

To be honest i didn’t even miss Liam. Noel’s got a lovely voice and he writes all the songs and performs them splendidly. He’s also a funny bugger, throwing out quips and heckling the audience.

Sean was at the show too.
