The Yeah Yeah Yeahs last night at Hordern Pavilion. A joy to photograph.

Last Saturday saw Modular‘s Nevereverland tour kick off in Sydney at the Hordern Pavilion.

The show was a bit of a showcase for Modular acts like The Presets, Klaxons, Cut Copy, Ladyhawke, Bumblebeez and Van She. Invited international guests were geek Berliners The Whitest Boy Alive and disco queens Hercules and the Love Affair.

The day was a bit of a test for me photographically because i wasn’t using my typical Canon 5D set up. The night before the gig, the mirror fell off the shutter of the 5D and it was unusable. Cybele saved the day by lending me her Nikon D3. It’s the bees knees of low light photography, but i felt like a complete n00b with it’s back to front dials and unfamiliar set up. I managed though, and made good use of it’s high ISO capabilities.

The Klaxons were a little more subdued, but a lot more polished than last time they were here.

MGMT in Sydney

Here’s some pictures from MGMT at the Hordern Pavilion on Tuesday.

Unfortunately photographers were escorted from the venue after 3 songs, so i can’t tell you what the show was like.

The first three tunes were a little lacklustre to my eyes – but according to the Time Out review they got better as the show went on.

The band sure have a strong teen girl following. The entire front row was a lather of excitable girls.

Normally i wear earplugs to protect my hearing from standing in front of the speakers. This time earplugs came in handy to counter the shrill squeels of teenagers suffering MGMT mania.

Kaiser Chiefs in Sydney

Here’s some photos of Kaiser Chiefs at the Hordern Pavilion on Sunday night.

I’ve photographed them a couple of times before and every time i try and nail a good shot of Ricky (the singer) jumping.

I still haven’t got one i’m happy with but i get a little closer each time.

The Kaisers sure know how to entertain.

Arctic Monkeys in Sydney

Here’s some shots of Arctic Monkeys at the Hordern Pavillion on Saturday night.

It was the hottest ticket in town after selling out super fast the day tickets went on sale.

It seems the band aren’t going to be the one album wonders some pinned them as.

I only got to catch my three songs before racing across town to catch Lily Allen.

There’s more photos in the Arctic Monkeys at the Hordern gallery.

Dashboard Confessional

I just got home from photographing Dashboard Confessional at the Hordern Pavillion. While i know of the band i’m not really familiar with the music, so it was a bit lost on me. I just knew that Chris Carrabba (the singer and songwriter) is held up as the posterchild for "emo" music.

The largely teenage crowd went nuts for him.

There’s more pictures in the Dashboard Confessional at Hordern Pavillion album. I was shooting for Channel V and i figure they want pictures of punters, so there’s several of those in there.

It’s so annoying when you get a nice shot like the one above and the collar is in focus but not the face. It’s tough getting the focus right when you’re shooting f1.8 and the subject is moving all over the place. As Maxwell Smart would say, missed it by that much.
