The Lair on MTV
Clearing out the archives, here’s some photos i took at The Lair earlier in the year.
It’s a TV show on MTV filmed at The Metro.
FBi fundraiser final fling photos
Here’s some photos from the FBi Radio fundraiser gig last Saturday night at The Metro.
You can see more pictures in the gallery at Mess and Noise or below.
The Ting Tings at The Metro
I took some snaps of The Ting Tings at the Metro last night ahead of their appearance at the Sydney Big Day Out on Friday.
They’re a pretty fun band to photograph, trying to capture the constant movement of versatile frontwoman Katie White.
Thankfully i’ll get another crack at photographing them on Friday.
Tricky live
Prior to Splendour i photographed Tricky’s sideshow at The Metro.
Seeing some of Danny North’s shots gave me forewarning that the light would be very low and difficult to shoot in. And it was – no front light at all with lots of red and blue.
Luckily i was able to go side of stage and shoot [...]
Cut Copy and Patrick Wolf
Here’s some old-ish photos from a couple of gigs back in November – Patrick Wolf and Cut Copy, both playing at The Metro.
I wasn’t very familiar with Patrick Wolf, but was impressed and can see why he inspires such a cult following.
Cut Copy’s gig was their first live outing [...]
Lily Allen at The Metro
Here’s a few shots from Lily Allen at The Metro. Most of my shots were rubbish and these are pretty ordinary.
One memorable thing about this gig was that us photographers had to wear Shrek ears rather than a standard photo pass. Apparently Lily Allen had a scuffle with a paparazzi photographer in Melbourne and the [...]
Editors at The Metro
Seeing Editors at the Metro on Wednesday night was the start of my Brit band weekend. Tonight i’m attempting to shoot Arctic Monkeys at the Hordern then Lily Allen at The Metro. Saturday is Bloc Party, Sunday Kaiser Chiefs and Monday The Horrors.
I may not be going to Splendour like most of my mates [...]
Dappled Cities Fly and Red Riders tour photos
Last week Dappled Cities Fly and Red Riders co-headlined a sold out show at The Metro in Sydney. I took pictures.
It was quite an occasion, one which marks a high point in the rise of each band.
Sydney bands tend to start their lives by playing a gig at a smallish venue [...]
The Sleepy Jackson @ The Metro
Better late than never, here’s a few photos of The Sleepy Jackson a week ago at The Metro (which seems to be called The Metro again after a short lived stint as The Century Theatre).
Surprisingly they had no "first three songs only" photography rule, which was lucky for me since i was running late to [...]
Wolfmother and The Mess Hall and me
On mothers day last year i saw a band i’d never heard of called Wolfmother play to a very sparse crowd at Candy’s Apartment. Last night, a year and a half later i saw Wolfmother conquer a sold out and rapturous home crowd at the first of their two shows at The Metro. They were [...]
