Eels

I was really excited about shooting Eels last night. Sadly it was not a great show to photograph. The night started with a very quirky ventriloquist he was actually really good but I guess not what the crowd was expecting. Next was Laura Imbruglia, she was good I guess but nothing very exciting. I had a feeling Eels were not going to be great to photograph when I noticed all of the signs around the venue asking the general public not to take photos and unfortunately that was definitely the case. E Walked out wearing a bandana and sunglasses and played the first three songs pretty much by himself under one or two blue lights that didn't change for the duration. As soon as three songs were up and the photographers were out it was pretty lights and full band. Oh well. I'm really not very happy with the photos. Lucky it was such a great show. I wasn't feeling too well so told myself I wouldn't stay for the whole thing but it sucked me in and I didn't end up leaving till it was over.

Tame Impala

Tame Impala played at The Tivoli last night. I'm not sure if it was sold out but it was definitely packed and they put on a fantastic show as they always do. I really love watching this band, it was nice shooting them at The Tiv as the only times I've shot them in the past have been at out door venues. The support acts were The Silents (who were also really good) and Blonde on Blonde. I had a really enjoyable night.

Julian Casablancas!

So I got to shoot Julian Casablancas last night! I was incredibly excited and I certainly wasn't let down. I'm not overly pleased with the photos but I guess some of them are ok. Can't wait for him to come back in a couple of months with The Strokes.

Jeff Beck

In another last minute change of plans I got the chance to shoot Jeff Beck tonight. I guess I'm not really all that familiar with him all though I'm aware he is one of the most famous guitarists around. He ranked 14th in Rolling Stones "100 greatest guitarists of all time" It was pretty amazing hopefully these photos can do it justice.

Brand New - The Tivoli

I had a last minute change of plans last night and covered for a friend shooting Brand New which I was more than happy about as I wanted to shoot them anyway. The lights were a bit of a challenge and I'm not sure how happy I am with the results, but I'll put them up anyway. Support for the night was Kevin Devine.

After the Brand New show I headed over to Cubby Hole to take a few snaps of The Villains of Wilhelm who were as always entertaining to shoot. I intended on shooting The Rocketsmiths as well but I got a little distracted, anyway here are a few shots of the villains.
