My friend Nik is the hardest working guy in the whole entire world and everytime I see him he tells me the most interesting stuff about everything. He is so clever with mechanics and how things are made and work. Anyway, I am in London now and spent some time with him yesterday and took this photo of him in his workshop.
Fly Paper Jet opened for Harris Tweed at their New Theatre show. I had never heard of them before but they were a good surprise. So different and original but in a good way. Check them out too, and watch them live if you can.
On saturday night, Harris Tweed played one of the best shows I have been to before. They did something different and it really worked for them. I am pressed for time so I am only going to upload this photo of Cheri so you can see how amazing the set and lighting was. Check these guys out, they’re in a different league that this country isn’t used to
These are a few images I shot of Alan playing with Harris Tweed on saturday night. He reminded me so much of Slash from Guns and Roses (without the funny bushy hair and the smoke in his mouth). I really am enjoying watching this guy play.
Did some road tripping, with the revolution and kfd guys, to bloemfontein this weekend. Shot some good skate stuff but the guys wrecked themselves on the first night. We all had a good time and I remember how fun it is being on the road with friends.
Went passed the studio today to hang with the Flash Republic crew while they did vocals for their recordings and shot a few pics. Their stuff really is sounding so good. Can’t wait for it to come out.
I did a little road tripping with the Love Jones crew to Oppikoppi on thursday for their show and it was really cool. They are an amazing bunch of people that deserve credit in the music industry. Check them out for sure.
Here are 2 of the photo’s of Flash Republic. I like these 2 because the one shows the fun that their MC and Tamara share on stage and the other shows the passion that Tamara has when singing.
I shot photos of Flash Republic playing on wednesday night and in checking out the light, shot a few of Ryan Dent working the crowd before the show. He is really amazing and I am so happy with these.
I shot a KFD tour a while back and some of the photos were published in an Australian magazine called Wooden Toy. It is such an amazing magazine and it just gets better and better as months go by. These are just four of the shots that were featured and I really like them a lot and the way that the guys printed them. If you can get a copy of Wooden Toy Magazine, do yourself a favour. If not, just go skating and have fun.
Jimmy Eat World is currently doing a little tour of South Africa and I have loved these guys for years. It was amazing to see them just 3 months ago in London and now again at home. I did a mini road trip with the crew from Love Jones to Oppikoppi last night and had to post 2 photos from Jimmy playing. Going to watch them tonight and just dance as apposed to shoot photos. Thanks for coming to visit our country.
Friends of mine from Stay Astray played a showcase show at a small bar / pizza place last night. I haven’t seen them play since woodstock last year and it was super good. I have always liked them but never really watched them live and now I like them more. The lighting wasn’t really ideal to shoot at all but I made do and took a few snaps. Check these boys out if you can, they’re awesome.
