Kingston

Okay I've photographed a few bands in my time but the singer Dan Gibson from this band 'Kingston' really was a good showman for the camera.

The Jury & The Saints

I went along to the opening of a new venue in Auckland called 'Backstage'.
I actually went with Phil Bell VIP pass which was pretty cool. Hope they weren't disappointed it wasn't him.
Bit of a promotion for me though as he's the Editor of RipitUp Magazine haha
It was an industry gig as The Jury & The Saints describe it in a comment under one of my images they posted on their Facebook.

For me that mean't free beer and food in between shots which was a nice change. Shame they didn't have more fans of the bands there though. As it would have been great to have captured them as well.
Here is what I photographed of band The Jury & The Saints. I actually really like the first photograph the most. It would make a nice back cover image for a CD cover.

Below is two of my favourite songs from the band.

Bannerman 25th September Whammy Bar

Disturbed but so beautiful. I love this song posted below. "Grab my gun shoot away but I'll probably miss you."

Kings Of Leon Dance Off 2010

I've seen this video far too many times now. Still makes me laugh every time.

Kings of Leon - Radioactive

New song from Kings Of Leon new album 'Come around Sundown' already on You Tube.
Not sure how this user managed to get this video. Sign of the Times.
Well anyhow I like it. I like how the mid point of the song pulls back.






Below is an interview I found on You Tube at The V Festival 2010. Nice that the TV presenter not asking naff questions and it's just like listening to a conversation. I thought it was amusing, interesting and well worth a watch. Plus I never know Caleb could see that well haha

Don McGlashan

In the weekend I went to a 30th party where Don McGlashan played. Such a lovely night. At the party he played his song 'Anchor Me' and it sounded amazing. A guy at the party mentioned to me that he felt Anchor me is a real New Zealand song in the way it relates to our location and distance from the rest of the world. So true.
Not only this but this song was also used by Greenpeace as New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to be declared Nuclear Free.
