I Exist plays an indie house party


I Exist played with a bunch of hipster bands at a house warming party for a friend in Canberra. The show wasn't really advertised, people who knew they were playing were mainly friends of the band, but there were a lot of people there who wouldn't normally be exposed to I Exist or hardcore in general. A fight almost broke out a one point (see video below), Sean attempted to start a spit parti and many people tried stage diving of tables. Lit this very differently (and poorly) to other shows, both lights as back lights at either side of the band.



Taipan Earthlings Backyard


Taipan and Earthlings, Rort, Eye Gouge and Jerskstore played in a backyard in Canberra. No photos from this show, just a bunch of video. A drunken bus driver started performing wrestling maneuvers on various members of the crowd. The show was pretty wild, weren't many safe places to stand with the camera, the footage looks fairly horrible, but it's fun to watch. Show finished with yet another cover of 'Bongs' by various members of each band.

50 Lions, Trapped Under Ice, I Exist


As mentioned in a previous post I took some photos for Blunt, of the 50 Lions, Trapped Under Ice Canberra show, here's the rest of the photos.
These were taken last year when I was still using my 400D. 430ex either side of the stage area, both were further back than I would have preferred, but it was the only safe place I could put them. For some of the Trapped Under Ice photos I used a 430ex on camera bounced off the roof.

This show was on Aaron's (guitarist for I Exist) 21st birthday, he played through two full stacks and blew one of them in the process.
