Steve Albini Portrait

While in Melbourne with his band Shellac, I took this portrait of Steve.

Shellac (of North America) play Melbourne

Shellac played their first Australian show for 18 years (or something) the other night, at Melbourne's HiFi Bar. They were pretty awesome.

Here are some things I noticed...

At times Shellac think they are planes

Todd doesn't mind taking his snare drum for a walk

Sometimes Steve has to hang onto his mic stand

Steve has a spare metal pic lodged in his guitar

Bob has only one knob

Yes, Steve does cast a shadow

Yes, Todd does also play drums from behind a kit

No time to focus the camera, as Steve introduces his guitar to his amp...

Sometimes Bob and Steve help Todd stop his cymbals from making a noise
