Break Even - No Sleep Til

Break Even at 'No Sleep Til' Sydney.

More photos will be in the next issue of No Heroes

Benny

This is a shot of Benny that was to be used as the cover for a split CD between Observer and Carcass Brains. I don't know if this will ever be finished or put out as both bands are now over.

With some added design by Patrick Galvin.

I Exist Phantoms Recording

I spent the day in the studio with I Exist and Phantoms as they recorded their split 7" 'Bad Romance' with Lachlan Mitchell.

I Exist seven strong

I Exist have had a total of seven members for a while now, so far they've only played one show with all seven, usually it's six members on stage with either JJ or Kelly on third guitar. This is the first promo of them with seven members.



This is the new header image of their myspace, seven dudes with a sword getting silly, Patrick Galvin did the graphic design.

Not sure if I'll post the original image, I might actually do some prints of it if anyone is interested.

Bad Romance

This is the back cover of a split 7" between I Exist and Phantoms, I took the photo. If I had known at the time that it would be used for anything more than a snapshot I would have put more effort into it. Design and layout by Patrick Galvin who also drew the front cover, which can be seen here: http://patrickgalvin.tumblr.com/post/1643087385/heres-something-i-drew-up-a-while-ago-that-ive


Just south of Brisbane is a lovely place where dreams come true - Wet 'n' Wild. While touring together in March 2010, Canberra sludge merchants I Exist and Sydney pseudo thugs Phantoms visited this magical place and decided to immortalise it in song. Recorded in one afternoon with Lachlan Mitchell between visits to Sizzler and a Soulfly concert, the result is Bad Romance, 2 songs from each act and all named after Wet 'n' Wild rides.

The 7" will be released January 14th 2011, with a pre order available from December 6th.
