Graf Orlock

Couple of photos of Graf Orlock from the Sydney House show with Dangers.
Crowd surfing out of the room to the sounds of the Jurassic Park theme music.

Dangers and Carpathian Video


I saw Dangers play with Graf Orlock four times last week in Sydney and in Wollongong, and I'll be seeing them again tomorrow in Canberra. While in Sydney I also went to the Carpathain gig at St. Ives.
Here's some videos of Dangers and Carpathian.





Sydney tapes blog has some audio of the Dangers graf Orlock house show here.
Also someone asked me to upload just my audio of the house show, so I'll do that once I've uploaded all the video.

I Exist - Photography band

Three new promo photos for I Exist done in one night. If there's one thing this band does well, it's sell merch, but it's followed closely by posing for photos.
Sometimes there's four members of I Exist, and sometimes there's five, and it looks like in the future, there's going to be six fairly often. This is the second set of headshots I've done for them, the first time was just for reference for the internal artwork of their album. I really like the look of these ones, might keep doing variations on these with the band in the future. Shot them in Murph's louge room, in front of a white wall, 430ex in shoot through umbrella, camera right, bare 430ex backlight camera left, subjects were about 5ft away from the wall.

I Exist - Tour Blog 5




Closest thing we got to a Canberra show was in Queanbeyan, good turnout, a lot of people came from Canberra, sound was bad all night especially vocals, apparently the venue had purchased their PA the day before, and didn't really know how to use it.

Just Matt Fox of Shail Hulud playing with I Exist, no big deal. Josh played guitar with them for this show, and Matt stepped in for the song '333'.

Evergreen Terrace, Casey Jones, Dropsaw


I Exist didn't play the Newcastle show of the Shai Hulud tour, so we got a couple of days home in Canberra. It worked out well because the Evergreen Terrace show was on one of those nights.

Confession - Mistake tour

Confession played in Queanbeyan on the 2nd of May. Lit this differently than usual, 430ex either side of stage, but I had the stage right one bounced into the high white ceiling (very high maybe 4 or 5meters), and I stood on a table stage right side. It created images with softer light and lower contrast than I usually have.

I Exist - Tour blog 4


All ages show at Shed 5 on the Gold Coast, most of this gig was in black and white.
Last time I was at this venue I Exist played on the floor, as the stage here is quite tall, especially for hardcore gigs. This time however the venue wasn't keen on this, despite all of the bands wanting to. Last time here the gig was great, so many kids were there to see I Exist, this time however it was obviously a Shai Hulud crowd, with all of the supports not getting much of a crowd reaction.
Show lit with a 430ex bounced into the roof on stage, front stage left side, and a 430ex stage right backlight.
