These photos are of the mighty “Morbid Angel” performing at the Manning Bar in Sydney. These guys are one of my all time favourite metal bands and it was awesome to have media access for the show. Thanks to Soundworks for the access and Jamie for putting Brett and I up for the night. Morbid were awesome and as entertaining as always and the Amenta were great too. Well worth the trip up the Hume.
These photos are from the amazing Kyuss Lives show at Brisbane’s Tivoli on Friday Night. The band were great and played a huge 2 hour set. A few other friends from Canberra joined us for the show and a taste of Brisbane’s warm weather for the weekend. It was a packed show but I managed to get a few decent photos of the band before my card filled up. Managed to get one of a small run silk screened tour poster with some cool artwork that we got home in one piece.. now its off to the framers.
These photos & video are from the Primus, Melvins sideshow at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda Melbourne. We had some amazing balcony seats that were great for viewing but pretty muddy for audio. I didn’t manage to any media for the Melvins as it was quite dark. The Palais is amazing, I have always wanted to see a show there and was impressed by the scale of the building and its old school look. Managed to get this pretty stable video of “John the Fisherman”. Both bands were great, sound a little boomy in the balcony.

Some pix and video of Queens of the Stone Age from Soundwave in Melbourne, these guys were amazing and sounded incredible. The video is an extended “No one Knows” where a punter in a wheelchair goes crowd surfing is then invited on stage by Josh, I’m not going to post too much media from the day but these guys were on fire.

Some pictures of the VeeBees from Saturday nights Skate Rock Tour with LS Demon & Bad Shit at The Basement in Belconnen. Longtime drummer Tommos last gig with the band. These guys were awesome as usual but no BBQ tonight. The VeeBees
I went to the Summernats in Canberra to see these guys, “Heaven the Axe” a rockin, sort of alternative, hard rock band, with originals and some covers for this crowd. Most of the band members were friends from the road from the mid 90′s when we were all touring. With Steve Manticore & Phoebe , Tim from Abramelin and Matt from Damaged, the band sounded great (with half the alchemist backline) ha ha. I had a great night, the band were really entertaining and it was cool to see old friends again. It was a really a warm up night, Thursday at the nats so i tried to make my self useful and take some photos of the band.
These are a few shots and some video from the Blondie and the Pretenders show at the Royal Theatre on Wednesday night. Blondie is Suzie’s fav and and was very excited, managed to get some awesome seats with Andi & Steve, pretty cool show.
These pix and videos are from the Thursday nights Metallica show at Acer in Sydney. It was a very impressive show with a really cool stage layout. Robbie managed to score us some gold sections seats so we had an awesome view of the show. Amazing sound and visuals with a pretty good selection of songs, Lars’s strut was highly entertaining but really cool to see him drumming. Missed the supports due to running a bit late.

I managed to catch American veteran thrashers Exodus in Brisbane this week as part of their Australian tour, missed the supports but managed to take these photos of the band on the night. It was my first time at the Hi-Fi in Bris and the first time I have seen Exodus. I was really into these guys about 20 years ago as they were quite an influential band. Pretty good turn out for a Monday night. Cheers to Rod and Brad from Soundworks for my media access on the night.
Not often that a big metal show comes to Canberra these days so I went out to see the Soulfly gig at The ANU. These are some shots from the night, it was really, really loud. City of Fire had Burton from Fear Factory and Byron and Jed from Strapping young lad, they did a great Cult cover. Soulfly were pretty cool, loved the drumming and brazilian vibes. No stage access tonight just from the crowd perspective.
