Slowburn's last show

Slowburn decided to break up in November 2009. They started in 2006, they played their last show on the 6th of March 2010. Video of this show will be up tomorrow probably. All bands lit with 430ex left of stage against the wall about 4 meters in front of the stage, and 430ex back light stage right.

Something must break, this was one of this band's first shows and was first time I'd heard of them, they played very well for such a young band.

Phantoms are a bunch of awesome dudes, sometimes they cover Sad but true.

Relentless from Sydney, featuring Dcold from the internet.

Slowburn had two different singers during their time as a band, Dave and Sam both sang some songs at this show, and during the change over they sang a song together. Most of the these guys are in new bands: I Exist, Yoko Oh No, Jerkstore and Observer.

For anyone interested, this was their set list. In Dave's words "Some you don't know and some you don't." They also played bongs at the end when the crowd demanded it.

Going to Queensland

 I'm Going to Queensland today.

I Exist will have these shirts at the shows. If there's any left afterward they will probably go on the Capital city web store. Patrick did both the designs.

Took these very quickly with Jake modeling them for a laugh. Shoot through umbrella camera left, bare strobe camera right.

Here's a photo of Phantoms from when they played in Canberra a couple of weeks ago.

Jungle Fever - Final Final Final Show?

Jungle Fever broke up in 2008, then in December last year they played a reunion show in Melbourne, then another in Brisbane this year, and finally this gig in Sydney at the Sando. I'm not complaining, if anything I think this should be a yearly occurance. This band is almost universaly loved by hardcore fans in Australia, including me.

I lit this show with a 430ex either side of the stage, one a bit further back to create a 3/4 backlight and one in line with the front of the stage. I wasn't really happy with the light for any of the bands, I moved them around a bit between bands, but wasn't really able to get enough front light on the band members.

Phantoms feature members of Rex Banner and Jack Napier, and probably some other bands I don't know of. This was the first time I'd seen them, people say they sound bit like Madball. They're doing some shows with I Exist soon, so I'll be seeing them a lot more.

Ill Brigade. I know nothing about this band, except that Pepper likes them.

Had It are from Sydney, at least one of them was in AVO, they played Vocal Test, Pepper likes them also.

Sex Wizard feature a bunch of the Jungle Fever guys playing different instruments, they have a very different sound to Jungle Fever. This is the second time I've seen them, they've been great both times.

I think I've seen Jungle Fever anout 7 times, and I this was probably my favourite gig of their's.
