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.
Stonefest 2008
Grinspoon
The Dandy Warhols
This year, Stonefest celebrated it's 40th Birthday. Bands coming along to celebrate, included: Grinspoon, The Dandy Warhols, Faker, Regurgitator, The Grates, Blue King Brown, and many others.
2008 also marked a new location for the Stonefest main stage. Moving from near the UC Refectory onto one of the large grassed areas. In my oppinion, a much nicer spot.
The Vines @ ANU
Australian garage rock legends; "The Vines" graced Canberra with their presence tonight, playing at the ANU Bar to a pretty full crowd.
MAMMAL
One of my favourite bands to shoot is Mammal, from Melbourne. Ezekiel Ox the lead singer gets completely into the music and is fantastic to take photos of as he is always so expressive. Here are a couple of my fave shots:
Mammal playing at the ANU - November 27th, 2008
Mammal at The Greenroom - July 3, 2008.
Mammal at The Venue - 9th August, 2007. - This was the first time I saw the band. The most fun I have had shooting a band at the time.
