LA and San Diego

Well I think my first day in the USA was quite an eventful one.I arrived here at 7am hoping to have had some sleep on the plane (which i hadn’t). I forgot to tell QANTAS i was vegetarian which meant i was restricted to side dishes and salads. To be honest, i wasn’t particularly keen [...]

I’m going…

Well I’m going to the USA. Not really on my list of “Great-Places-I’ve-Always-Wanted-To-Visit” but I’ve been very lucky to have been given the opportunity to attend a conference in San Diego (with airfares paid for!). I know this is a music blog but it’s nice to let people know where I am, what I’m doing [...]

Tyrone Noonan

I took some VERY average photos of Tyrone Noonan, a very talented musician at the Heritage Hotel last week. Unfortunately, Tyrone chose to break away from the tradition of having the singer front and centre and chose to go on the far left of the stage. This meant that the lighting levels were VERY low [...]

Cog

I had the opportunity to photograph Cog a couple of weeks ago. I think this was about my 7th or 8th time I’d seen them. I still remember the first time during their “lantern” era at the VERY small Oxford Tavern in Wollongong. I paid $5 and it was one of the best and most [...]

The Dawn Collective

This is my mate Simeon and he’s the cello player in an awesome Sydney band called The Dawn Collective. I’ve been friends with Sim for a couple of years (in fact, he played on a song in my old band’s EP) and I’ve also known a couple of the other members of the band for [...]

Mammal

I saw a crazy band from Melbourne called Mammal last night. They’re supporting Cog and Sunk Loto on their Detour Tour around Australia. Gotta admit, these guys were one of my favourite bands to photograph so far because there was always something happening. Lead singer Ezekiel Ox is pretty much one of the most animated [...]

Holly Throsby

Holly Throsby at the Heritage Hotel in Bulli. Soph and I turned up at 3.45 for the show which was meant to start at 4 (on a Sunday afternoon) but Holly wasn’t to be seen anywhere. Turns out she had managed to get her times mixed up and was going to turn up at 6.30. [...]

Love Outside Andromeda

I took some photos of a couple of bands at Oktoberfest at our unibar last week and Love Outside Andromeda were the headliners. The unibar is the best local venue to photograph because they have the best lighting, though it’s ALWAYS red lighting which ends up with me overexposing.. Anyways, i got a couple of [...]

Ron Sexsmith and Ashleigh Mannix

I had the opportunity to photograph Ron Sexsmith in Newtown on Monday night and this young lady was the support. She had an amazing voice but seemed a little nervous/uncertain on stage.. In a few years with some right advice, she could be making a much bigger name for herself. Ron on the other hand [...]

Fingerprint Resistant

These guys were one of the support bands for Karnivool. They put on a pretty crazy show, i honestly don’t know how anyone can play anything properly when they move around as much as these guys.

Karnivool

I’ve uploaded some of the photos I took at Karnivool last week into the gallery section of the site www.mulletgod.org/gallery. I was officially sweated upon by bassist Jon… I can tell you it was far more pleasant than getting absolutely destroyed by the guys in the moshpit like some of the other people i saw [...]
