Powderfinger Sunsets....

It has been an amazing couple of months. It's hard to believe that I'm doing something that I love and that these bands and crews have been so supportive in allowing me to shoot them I'm truly grateful and have really loved it!! This month has been so much fun so far!

On the 5th of Sept I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Powderfinger on their Sunsets Farewell Tour from their blogger Shaun Malseed. Big ups Shaun (@followthefinger)!! These Brissy boys have been together since I was 7 so their songs are entrenched in the soundtrack of my life. I didn't realise how many songs I knew and loved until that night, which made me sad that they were splitting up but also really thankful that I could come see them one last time. On this tour they're partnering with Yalari an awesome organisation which provides scholarships for Indigenous kids from rural and remote communities to attend some of Australia's leading boarding schools. http://www.yalari.org/

We got there when The Vines were on and they were loud, really loud but in a good way. I found them more interesting to watch than actually listen to their lyrics, which I couldn't really understand. They were very still, staying in their own defined spaces never really interacting with each other and the crowd which I found very boring to be honest that is until Craig Nicholls the lead singer started swinging his guitar around and smashing it into everything, which I thought was cool until I read up on them and he seems to do that ALOT..... So not so original and passion driven as it seemed. Apart from all of that I thought they were good, loud howling songs, lots of guitar, big smashing finish, what more could you ask for?

So did I mention it was raining and it had been all day but this didn't stop Brisbane from showing up and partying with Powderfinger. It was great to look at the crowd and see a sea of multicoloured ponchos and if anything it added to the atmosphere. We were already wet so you might as well have fun with it and jump around to keep warm.

                       

From Love your way, Burn your name to Like a dog. They were on from the start. With the crowd favourites My happiness, Passenger and ending on These days. It was a night to remember.

Thanks guys for the memories.... 

Horrorshow "Walk you home"....

So yesterday was my 28th birthday. I've been flat out so I haven't posted in a while, so I cant wait to share what I've been getting up to!


I'm loving the fact that I don't know alot of crews that are making it big here in Australia so it's exciting to be discovering them for myself and seeing how loyal and supportive their fans are. The Horrorshow are an awesome example of that! On the 28th August Horror show were in Brisbane for their Walk You Home tour at The Zoo and it was packed.

First up were Eloquence and Truths with Dj Butcher. They were joined by Seven for a few tracks and they were off to a great start getting the crowd ready to hear some great music!

Seth Sentry was up next his laid back style was very easy to get into. He interacted with the crowd as if they were all life long mates talking about life. Ending with The Waitress Song which had the whole crowd up.

It was a bit like a zoo when the Horrorshow boys started. The crowd had been treated to a set by Adit before the main event. The audience was filled with dedicated fans so they were with Nick from the first song. It only seemed to get better from there. Their thoughtful lyrics set to mad beats seemed to get you moving but also listening to the lyrics at the same time, which is a mean feat. These guys were great, they had the crowd jumping and singing and connecting through their music! It was a great night and the guys even did an encore performance. Definitely a must see show if you get the chance!
