"TONK" - ANU Bar Finale

June 17, 2017

Tonight I made one final trip to the ANU Bar for the final gig before it closes forever. Thinking of all the bands that have played there and the ones I was lucky enough to photograph over the last ten years of shooting bands makes me feel both happy and sad. It will be a massive loss for live music in Canberra.

I managed to photograph the last couple of bands and will be uploading photos over the coming week.

First up we have TONK. My favourite Canberra band and great guys. I have been photographing them ever since I started shooting gigs back in 2007 and have loved every gig I have been to of theirs both in Canberra and interstate. They are always so much fun to photograph.

The Whitlams - 25th Anniversary Tour

October 27, 2016

Hot on the heels of a photo of mine being used for the “Icehouse” 40^th Anniversary Tour promotion, a photo of mine is being used to promote “The Whitlams” 25^th Anniversary Tour in 2017. It was fantastic to get the chance to photograph this amazing Australian band, one that I have loved since I was a teenager.

It is a real honour to have a photo of mine tied to this important milestone.

A massive thank you to Tim Freedman, Jak, Terepai and Warwick from the band and also Kim and Tim.

Icehouse 40 Years Live!!!

August 28, 2016

So, I have some pretty awesome news that I have kept quiet about for a few weeks now.A photo I took of Iva Davies from the band "Icehouse" on their 2012 tour has been chosen for their 40 Years Live promotional material.

It will appear on posters, online and in other forms of advertising for their 40 Years Live Tour.

I am stupidly excited about this after 8 or so years of music photography; it is great to have people like a photo of mine enough to use in this way.

To be involved with a band like this, a band that I have loved and listened to (one of my all time favourite songs is by Icehouse) ever since I was a child, is amazing.

Thank you Iva, Icehouse Management & the very talented folks at Next Episode for turning my humble little photo into some pretty amazing art.

I will share more images and the poster when they are released. Please drop me a line if you see this out and about, I would love to know.

TONK 'Ruby Voodoo' Album Launch - ANU Bar

February 22, 2015

Tonight was the launch of album number two from Canberra band TONK. The follow up to the very popular "Sister Switchblade" is called "Ruby Voodoo" and it sounds awesome.

TONK have always been my favourite band to photograph and I have shot them countless times both in Canberra and interstate, since I first started photographing bands back in 2007. They are a top bunch of guys and deserve big things, lets hope this album brings it!

Thanks Jinx, Steve, Ben, Mikey, Matt. (& Tristan)

Here's to many many more gigs.
