The Foreshore crowd enjoys The Presets as the rain begins.
Now in it's second year, The Foreshore music festival was even bigger with three stages and acts such as PNAU, The Dukes of Windsor and The Presets.
PNAU
Me The Conqueror (Supporting Mammal)
Steve Gray of "Me The Conqueror"
Tonight I finally got to check out Canberra band; "Me The Conqueror". They were supporting Mammal (See Photo in previous post).
Trackside 2008
Bluejuice
Today was the second Trackside Music Festival and what a lineup it was;
The Living End, Cut Copy, The Panics, Bliss N Eso, British India, Something With Numbers, Sparkadia, Muph n Plutonic, Carpathian, Bluejuice, Grafton Primary, Little Red, Hell City Glamours, Los Capitanes and many others.
It's fantastic that Canberra is finally getting some great music festivals and Trackside is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Last year it was stinking hot temperature wise. This year was the opposite, cold, rainy at times and even hail.
I particularly enjoyed the set from Sydney band; "Bluejuice". I had heard of this infamously crazy band but never really heard any of their stuff.
While standing side of stage, taking a photo of the lead singer and Allan Sko of BMA. I noticed the other singer attacking a full tequila bottle. From that moment, I knew it was going to be a good show and I was right. It was mindblowingly good.
Despite the weather, it was a fantastic day with some awesome bands playing.

AMAX @ Filthy's
My good friends Amy & Max (AMAX) playing their semi-regular spot on a Tuesday night at Filthy's.
Def Leppard
Tonight I had the fun task of shooting English rockers; Def Leppard. All of us photographers were given tickets (and a plus 1) to see the show and then allowed to shoot 3 songs at the beginning of the set.
I was wondering how good the band would sound nowadays. Let's just say, I was really impressed. They brought out all the classics and threw in a new song or two. It was a great night.
Thommo and a lady from The Canberra Times were in the pit as well. All of us running around like mad things once the show started to try and get the best shots. I think I managed to get some pretty good ones in the end and had a fun night doing it.
