Shai Hulud - Seaford Melbourne

john hatfield July 20, 2010

I'm really late in puting these photos online. This was the Melbourne all ages show on the 23rd of May. It was meant to be the last show of the tour, but a few days before hand another show was added in Sydney. Pretty happy with the shots from this show, able to get a flash slightly out the front of stage left, giving me more front light than usual, resulting in brighter images.

I Exist featured more ridiculous rock antics than usual, as you can see with Kelly falling over at the end and Sam wearing a weed leaf bandanna. There's no photos of Aaron here, sorry!

Twiddly Prog Tour Sydney

john hatfield July 19, 2010

Four shows into the tour.
Here's a few photos from the second Sydney show:

Built on Secrets I'd never heard of this band or met these dudes before this tour, very different to the other bands, synth pop punk without the synth, but good stuff and it makes for a intersting mixed bill.

Dead Kings, this is thier first tour with new vocalist Zaca.

Mary Jane Kelly, I've photographed these guys alot of the past few years, and I really enjoy shooting them, Justin is always very animated and I'm always really happy with how my photo of them turn out.

Fixtures, local kids, sound like pulling teeth with more tapping.

430ex either side of stage at the front, and a vivitar 383 backlight stage right.

I Exist - Tour blog 4

john hatfield June 5, 2010

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.
