Live Music Photos – 2011

Posted on December 31, 2011

So, that's it for 2011 - I had dozens of  photos published in Australia, The UK and US, had photos on album covers, book jackets and DVDs,  (The Gin Club, Public Enemy, Robert Forster, Powderfinger and more)  sold a heap of prints, licensed photos to a TV production, a film and a few ads, and was featured on an ABC TV show. I shot 168 bands at 96 shows, at 19 venues plus one library and one zoo, and shot portraits for a bunch of bands.

Here's a few of my faves from the year, thanks to all the bands, fans, editors, venues, promoters, labels, managers and PR types who've helped out, rock on, and so on : )

Kurt Vile – 8th Dec 2011

Kurt Vile - 8th December 2011 - Woodland Brisbane. Photo©2011 Stephen Booth www.sbphoto.com.au

Kurt Vile played at Woodland the other day, supported by Kellie Lloyd and Blank Realm. Mr Vile's album 'Smoke Ring For My Halo' has been getting a LOT of plays around the house lately, so I was keen to see the show. Dunno why Woodland runs so late on weeknights, but it seemed the crowd thinned out after midnight, and most of the oxygen seemed to leave the room at the same time, weird. Still, his band was great, and the songs from the album held up live, I enjoyed it, you probably would too, check him out next time why dontcha : )

The Drones – 28th October 2011

Posted on October 29, 2011
thedrones_28oct11-632_stephenbooth

The Drones played The Hifi last night, I've really loved the last couple of Gareth Liddiard solo shows I've seen, but there's just something about The Drones live, it's ragged, loud and completely transfixing.

thedrones_28oct11-462_stephenbooth

This was one of the last shows of this tour, make sure you see them next time, they're a very special band.

Gareth Liddiard – The Spiegeltent – 14/9/2011

Posted on September 25, 2011
garethliddiard_14sep11_stephenbooth-148

Gareth Liddiard played the Spiegeltent in Brisbane as part of the Brisbane Festival,  great show, funny, touching and mind blowingly brilliant in equal doses, marred only by the super annoying little fella to my left who just. kept. talking. Arghh. Loads of songs from Strange Tourist, plus a bunch of Drones songs - Jezabel gets me every time.

garethliddiard_14sep11_stephenbooth-19

The Drones are playing some shows around the country in October, don't miss them, dates are here.

I took some photos at Tym Guitars (5E Winn street Fortitude Valley, Brisbane) for Issue 3 of Veri.Live back in May, the issue just came out, so I thought I'd share some of the photos here.

I've know Tim for ages, he's an amazing guy with seemingly boundless energy, he's a huge supporter of local music, and has an enthusiasm for what he does that's just inspirational. As well as making custom guitarseffects and amps Tym guitars sells top quality gear, and accessories, does repairs, sells records and books, hires out practice spaces and gear and runs instore shows too. Recording facilities are on the way soon.

Tim's made guitars and effects for an impressive list of people from all over the world, The Hellacopters, Rocket from the Crypt, Tumbleweed, Magic Dirt, Violent Soho, The Hoodoo Gurus and loads more, but check out the story of the Fuzz Munchkin, Tim's latest custom fuzz built in collaboration with J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. The saga starts here, it's a great story.  The Tym Fuzz Munchkin - part 1
