Hi God People

Hi God People are like a bunch of hippies in their comune, and somehow you are their watching them.... you spend a while time trying to work out what it is they and their sect believes in, and then you go home secretly wanting to start your own chaper...

this photo was taken at the What Is Music 'Onathon' at the Forum Theatre... Sadly the What Is Music festival hasnt been around since.

Kim Salmon - The Scientists

Possibly the creators of grunge, The Scientists stormed out of Perth raw and rawkus back in the 70s. They did a few reformation shows recently. I took this top one at their 'Dont Look Back' gig with Sonic Youth in Melbourne.



Kim Salmon is still a very active muso....



This shot below was taken at a show a few months earlier at the Espy with The Stabs and Witch Hats. That was truely an awesome show.

Ninetynine

Ninetynine have been around for ages. 12 years or so! There's been a couple of line-up changes in that time, but they're still as amazing as ever. This photo was of them at the Espy, not long after their tour of Europe and Russia.

The Stabs

The Stabs... well what can I say about The Stabs? Hmmm.. well they used to be called Jodi Moore, until she told them they couldnt use her name any more...



I took that photo (above) at their 7" launch at the Nth Melbourne Town Hall Hotel. This bloke's name is Strika. It was his first day out of the lock-up, and while the band was sorta trashing their shit, Strika thought he'd help out. He'd already done a bunch of one armed push-ups while the band was playing and he was in the mood!



In the end he didnt trash anything and baught a stabs t-shirt.



Here's a more recent pic of them playing at ATP at Mt Buller, Jan 2009

Eddy Current Suppression Ring

Eddy Current Suppression Ring are doin pretty alright these days for a Melbourne garage band.
I took this top photo at Pony at a 2am gig.


Below is them at the Super 8 Diaries fundraiser show... the woman singing there is Marnie from Zond. Another awesome Malbourne band

Iggy Pop and The Stooges

Yeah.. I took this photo at the Big Day Out one time....

...the only time I had a photo pass for the Big Day Out ever... and I don't imagine I'll ever get one again.

I was the only person shooting on film that day.

This photo below is where Iggy astral traveled across the stage a few metres to do a little duet with himself. Of course I used magical technologies to make this image.
