It’s been a while between shooting gigs for me, but i was back on the game on Saturday at the Come Together Festival at Luna Park. It was a good chance to catch up with a bunch of local bands and see the new upstarts.

Bluejuice seemed to have the best crowd reaction all day. People were going bananas for them. And despite Jake having a plaster cast on his leg, he was hopping around dancing madly on stage.

As usual Young and Restless were intense and Karina re-inforced her status as the number one frontwoman in Australia.

Dublin boys The Thrills made up the minor international component of the day.

The Galvatrons impressed with their Van Halen-esque anthems. They’re the latest buzz band around but it remains to be seen what it will amount to.

Sparkadia was fantastic as usual. With their new album hitting the airwaves they seem to have picked up a legion of new fans.

It’s a pretty cool venue for a music festival, a fun park underneath the Harbour Bridge.

Little Red crooned with their nostalgic love songs.

The cavernous Big Top where most bands played.

Faker deservedly headlined the day and put on a reliably energetic performance.

I’d not seen The Dirty Secrets before but they were rather good. Reminscint of The Killers or Hot Hot Heat.

Come Together Festival – Day 2

Only 3 months late i’m posting some live photos of day 2 of the Come Together Festival from June 11 2006.

The first day, which concentrated on the heavier acts was completely sold out, but the Sunday, which featured many more acts that i know and love wasn’t so popular. Tis a shame, since it’s a great little mini festival, I hope they keep it up.

The photos are pretty ordinary, that’s why they’ve sat on my hard drive so long.

But the day did yield one nice shot in particular though, of Adrian Red Riders above. That little snap did me proud on the cover of Mess and Noise and plastered on the website, plus it was one of the prints that sold at 3 Songs. No Flash.
