Laneway Festival Sydney 2008
The rather splendid Laneway Festival rolled around again this weekend past. I was fresh off the plane from Thailand and flung forth into the throngs of indie kids partying in the heart of the city. Some of the acts performing included Feist, The Presets, Bridezilla, Dan Deacon, Stars and Cool Kids. You can see all [...]
SXSW Music Part 1
bloc Party headline Stubbs on Day 2. The new record sounds great live. I’m only about 3 months late with posting these pictures, but here’s some photos of day 1 and 2 of the SXSW Music Festival. There was some great acts including Bloc Party, Amy Winehouse, The Presets, The Pipettes and plenty more. Kirsten [...]
Australian Acts at SXSW
As usual Airborne put on a great show to a packed out crowd. There were quite a few locals headbanging along – and Joel did his usual thing of jumping on the bar and playing his guitar along it. I didn’t manage to catch Dallas Crane play but i did see them at an Aussie [...]
SXSW Music
Just a brief check in. The music festival is madness. So tired. I treated myself to a sleep in today. I’ve signed up with a photo agency called Retna, and they require my photos asap, and tightly edited with captions. So every night i come home i’m up to the wee hours sorting that out. [...]
Homebake 2006 – Part 3
And the third and final installment of Homebake photos. It was Silverchair’s year to headline, playing some of their classics as well as a number of songs off their coming album Young Modern. Surprisingly The Vines were one of my highlights of the festival. Craig seems to be really enjoying himself onstage these days, not [...]
Splendour photos: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, You Am I, The Presets, Jose Gonzales
More photos of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, You Am I, Jose Gonzales and The Presets. It’s hard to take a bad photo of the the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Modular Party in Bondi
I braved the road blocks and bad beach vibes to head to Bondi on Sunday arvo for a Modular records party. It featured their major acts: Wolfmother, Cut Copy, The Presets, Van She and the Avalanches (still in DJ mode). In a fashion i’ve come to expect Wolfmother were head-bangingly brilliant and Cut Copy were [...]
Wolfmother at Candy’s the other week
The wailing vocals and big fuzzy 70′s rock sound that this threesome of unassuming lads emit is staggering. I saw Wolfmother back in May at the same venue, in front of about 30 people including the band’s mothers (it was mother’s day, they dedicated the song Woman to their mum’s, so charming). It was quite [...]
