Powderfinger Call It A Day.
Tonight was a historical night for the Canberra music scene. It was to be the final time, Aussie rock legends Powderfinger, would play in the nations capital. Canberra was one of their stops on their last ever "Sunsets" tour. After more than 20 years of performing, the boys are finally calling it a day and going out with a bang.
I have been a fan of the finger since the early 90's, seeing them perform many times here, and also getting to photograph them at The Big Day Out earlier this year. I was lucky enough to get to document this final gig in Canberra whilst watching on in awe of a band I have listened to for over a decade.
The band were in great form, the song choice fantastic and the crowd in a really great mood - all combining to create one of the best gigs I have ever been to.
Farewell lads! - You have given us some amazing music and will be missed. Just don't spoil it by doing a "Farnham".
More Photos to come.
"Florence And The Machine" @ The Enmore Theatre
Tonight I made the drive up to Sydney to shoot a band I have liked for a while now, Florence And The Machine.I first heard about Florence when I was over in the UK in the middle of 2009 and thought her voice and music style was great.
So when my mate at Reverb Magazine asked if I wanted to shoot any bands, I instantly put my hand up for Florence when I heard they were coming out to Australia.
It was a great gig and such a treat to photograph in such an iconic Sydney music venue. But unfortunately I could only stay for the first 3 songs and then had to return back to Canberra.
