Wilco 30th April 2010

Stephen — Fri, 07 May 2010 01:47:38 +0000

Wilco played at The Tivoli in Brisbane last Friday, they're one of my all time favourite bands, I've seen them I think four times, they've been amazing each time. Always a challenge to shoot, there is so much going on, but I inevitably end up focusing on Jeff Tweedy, I get the impression he's not the biggest fan of being photographed, but there is such character in his face. If you get the chance to see Wilco don't miss it! Tour dates and all things Wilco here : www.wilcoworld.net

Justin Townes Earle played at The Zoo on the 7th of April, brilliant show, I'd heard a lot about him, but hadn't expected to enjoy it as much as I did, loved it, the guy is a brilliant entertainer, had the crowd laughing one minute, and in tears the next, no really! Check him out here http://www.myspace.com/justintownesearle more photos in the gallery below.

The Dead Weather played at The Tivoli last night, awesome show, louder, dirtier and more raw than I had expected. Loved it. Here's Alison Mosshart, more photos to come, the lighting was a challenge but tons of fun to shoot. As my friend L said, too much sexy : )

Rock and Roll – The Poster

Here's the poster for my upcoming exhibition at The Brisbane Powerhouse, designed by the super talented Aaron Sammut. Thanks Aaron! If anyone would large a large printable version just email me and I'll send you the file. In the meantime click this to see a much bigger version.

The Exhibition opens on Tuesday the 2nd of March, from 6-9pm and runs until April the 5th 2010. It features my 50 favourite photos from 15 years of music photography. The framed prints will be for sale, I'm still working out the price, but they will be affordable. There are 50 large 30x20 inch prints on heavy photo paper, really classy black frames with white matte. They look really great, if I do say so myself..

I'm updating this pretty frequently, and you can see some info on the show at The Brisbane Powerhouse site here.

See you there!
