The Scare call it quits
After 7 years as a band, The Scare yesterday declared they were pulling the plug and disbanding after their next run of four shows. It’s always disappointing when a band you’ve supported and enjoyed splits up. And The Scare will always be close to my heart because they were one of the very first bands [...]
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.
A weekend at The Annandale
Here’s the full range of photos from the show at The Wall. They’re pictures of bands i took during the My Filthy Riot festival at The Annandale in March. They were taken backstage over the weekend. I’d approach the acts, explain that i was taking pictures and ask them to pose for me. No fuss [...]
The Scare backstage portraits
The Scare week continues (previously No Money video, AMP ceremony) with these snaps i took of the band at The Annandale. They’re part of a bigger project i did last weekend, shooting band portraits backstage during My Filthy Riot. I set up a mini-studio, taping a gray backdrop to the wall and lighting with a [...]
The Scare have No Money

Australian Music Prize 2008
Although i was live twittering the Australian Music Prize (AMP) ceremony last Friday i’ve been slack posting the pictures. Modelled on the British Mercury Prize, the $30000 AMP is given to the album deemed the best released in 2008 by a panel of judges. Eddie Current Suppression Ring were the lucky winners this year for [...]
The Scare
Do you remember The Scare? They’re a pretty intense screamo type band from Queensland who’ve spent most of the past year living in Birmingham in the UK. I’d liken them to a band like Young and Restless or Forward, Russia. Not the sort of thing you’d play for your grandmother, but highly entertaining to see [...]
Homebake 2005 Photos
My photos from Homebake are now online (also available at 3DWorld). It was a wonderful day out, perfect weather, people and music. Plus i spent all day taking photos. Doesn’t get much better than that. The shots aren’t my best work. It was my first time shooting a big festival, with high stages to contend [...]
