Youth Group launch The Night is Ours

Last Wednesday night, just after a storm ripped through Sydney, Youth Group played a show on the deck of a boat to launch their new album The Night is Ours.

The boat was the Cape Don, permanently moored at Balls Head next to where Youth Group recorded the new album. I took some pictures of that process, including the band on board the boat last year.

The album launch gig was lit rather poorly, so i was content to just get moody atmospheric shots.

The new album is out on June 26th. This is the video for first single ‘Two Sides’.

A few weeks back i ventured to Youth Group‘s recording studio with Time Out writer and ex Youth Group band member Jason Walker.

The bearded band have created a home made studio in a disused dockworkers mess hall by the harbour in Waverton. When i visited they were about half way through recording and when i returned a few weeks later and they’d almost wrapped up.

Anchored next to the studio is a decrepit old lighthouse supply vessel that the band took us on a tour of. They’ve done some recording on board and it was also the scene of their Skeleton Jar video clip some years back.

The as yet untitled album is due out in the first half of this year.

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 get together with free drinks.

This was Youth Group at a great open air venue on Cedar St. They’re quite popular over here and played a number of well received shows.

Macromantics among the crowd at a daytime gig. I can spot Travis Bigstereo in the background of this shot.

Josh Pyke was actually in a much better mood than this photo would suggest. He’d just found out his album had debuted at number 4 in the ARIA chart.

Children Collide played a great gig on the opening night.

I’d never seen Mink before but was impressed. They’ve got an ex INXS Rockstar contestant on vocals and he’s got all the rock moves down.

The Presets pulled a big crowd on the Beauty Bar patio. They seem to have a lot of local fans after a number of US tours.

My faves Expatriate played before Children Collide on the opening night at Red 7.
