Crazy Arm
I am really happy to be able to write a small post about this amazing band. These guys have been a massive musical inspiration to me for many years and have given me opportunities to meet many of my favourite bands and record with professional artists. Last week i had the pleasure of seeing these guys in a very mall venue in Bath. They sounded amazing, but most importantly i got some great shots. Have a look on the gallery link to see some of the highlights, i will be chasing them up in March as they are playing the O2 Academy in Bristol. I will be trying to get there to take some more shots. If you get a chance to go and see them, i would recommend it at any cost.
Teller @ O2 Bristol
Tuesday night was the fist gig of Teller’s (Tellermusic.com) UK summer tour. This was the first gig that i had attended at the Academy 2 venue so i decided to take my camera along and try and blag my way in. Lucky for me they didn’t seem too bothered about giving me a photo pass, so i got in free for the night with my camera. On first impressions the venue did not jump out in any way. For those who have not yet been to the upstairs venue, it is small bar area all on one level with a small stage at the end. The lighting for the stage was the same as you would expect in any small venue of a similar size. What did impress me was the sound, they had a great sound engineer that made the bands sound like they were playing on the main stage downstairs. Anyway, back to the photos. Although i had a press pass, there was no photo pit and no area for me to get in front of the crowd, i had to fight my way around people and guess at some photos as i held my camera over the barrier. Regardless, the results were great. I have been trying to build up my online band portfolio for a while and this is the first time i have taken live photos that i would really want to print and hang on my wall. I have uploaded a very small selection to my Flickr gallery, so head on over there and check them out.
P.S. Don’t forget to leave me some of your comments!
Teller Studio Shoot
Just a quick post to say that i spent the day in the studio yesterday with Teller. I had a fantastic day listening to them practice some of the tracks that have yet to be recorded and having fun getting some great photos. Pop over to my Flickr gallery and check them out. As always, don’t forget to leave me some comments on your favorites.
Cheers
Teller
Last night i finally got myself out of my flat and into Bristol to see some live Music. The venue was a small place in Old market called Space 72. Despite the size, there was a good sound, a bar and most importantly a band going by the name of Teller. I have heard a lot about this band in the past few months so i was really excited to take this opportunity to go and see them play. I have been trying to get some live music shots for a long time now, so i made sure i had plenty of battery and was ready to shoot. The lighting wasn’t great, but the band were entertaining so i was kept interested throughout the whole set. As for the sound, all i can say is that Teller gave one of the best performances i have been from a local band in many years. The songs are fantastically written and performed live even better. Please don’t take my work for it, pop over to www.tellermusic.com and check out some of their newly uploaded songs, then check out the dates of when they are playing and get yourself to a gig. Highlights of the night in stills can be found over on my gallery page.
