Parklife 2010 – Visual Anthropology of a Dance Music Festival in 24 Photos
In thinking of a few words to write for this post, and reminiscing back to Saturday, it struck me that despite everything, i.e. a dance music festival and an obscene amount of really obvious drug use, there wasn’t an awful lot of dancing actually going on. With perfect timing, the Guardian’s Indie Doctor addressed the […]
Parklife 2010 – 17 Acts In 18 Photos
Parklife is one of life’s musical guilty pleasures, perhaps the guiltiest. It’s like a one day adventure into another world, somewhere I’d never normally go and I always enjoy it, a lot more than most photographers who complain about it year-on-year, and yet still put their hand up to cover it. There is a secret […]

Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’ at 25
Whatever year you were born in, however old you are, pop music reached its zenith when you were 12 and 13. For me this was 1984 and 1985; a couple of years full of unforgettable and undeniable pop gems. 1985 was a seminal year for me as it was the first time I bought albums […]

Violent Soho + Scul Hazzards + Butcher Birds + The Seizures live @ The Zoo, 24.07.10
Three of Brisbane’s best bands, three bands I’ve photographed and blogged about so many times it’s hard to know what else I can say (plus opening band The Seizures, who I’d never seen before but who had my ears ringing well before the end of their set and me reaching for my ear plugs, a […]
Mark Lanegan live @ The Zoo, 06.07.10
As much as I really like Mark Lanegan, and all the music he’s been involved with, he’s not an easy subject to photograph, preferring to perform in extreme darkness with his eyes tightly shut. The cause isn’t helped tonight by being at The Zoo, which doesn’t have a photo pit and choosing the wrong side […]
Teenage Wolves live @ Young Bloods #1, The Legion Club, 02.07.10
I popped into Young Bloods #1 at The Legion Club on Friday night to check out the headline act, Teenage Wolves, as I’d been hearing good thing about them, even though they’ve only been around since the end of last year and have only played a handful of gigs. I’d never been to The Legion […]
