It is my dream to do a flying semi-roll stage dive into a crowd of people.. that brief moment of will they, won’t they as your flying through the air, the pure adrenaline.. hey if you want it bad enough it might just happen. I think that is one of the coolest things about being a musician.. getting to stage dive magnificently
Part two peeps.. (not sure I got the words right to that heading but gave it a go listening repeatedly to their EP that I bought) the third support act Northeast Party House are an Indie/synth-rock/dance/psychedelic group that reminded me of a mix of Bloc Party, Foals and Gorillaz. They create such powerful, funky, attention-grabbing, ear-prickling music that when they played my new favourite song ‘Dusk’ I stopped grooving and just watched, like a statue, completely paralysed and mesmerised at the same time…

Jack Shoe main-jumper-arounder and guitarist giving it all during ‘Embezzler’.. they really give an amazing high energy show and considering the lack of space they had on that tiny stage I’m surprised nobody got knocked out by any instruments… Here’s my new favourite song;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The glistening face of vocalist Zach.. so stuffy, so hot in there.. they really need to renovate if they’re so worried about people sneaking into gigs through the window (even though the security at the door is sh*t-house and it’s so easy to just walk in) they should put bars on the windows so then at least everyone can stop sweating on each other and enjoy some fresh air….

Love this one…….. cool that I could get so many different shots in the same place, on the same night with different bands. I was hoping and I think I did take shots that represented them and weren’t all the same =D.. happy as larry…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jack Shoe waiting as they had problems with their sound-check, went on for so long that it cut into their set time… bummer. Never seen a guy rock a dangley earring so well…
Awesome third act.. might I say they were in some ways better than the principal act.. yes blasphemy I know but I’ll tell you why in the next post…
Its been a while since my last post and a lot has happened.. so much in fact that I really wanted to take this blogging seriously and to the next level so by starting up my own website and really getting my writing, photography and art out there.. BUT money wouldn’t allow and I lost focus because being the perfectionist I am I didn’t want to continue something if it wasn’t perfect (this blog). But that’s silly because I love to write and take pictures and many of you are kind enough to show interest and visit my blog so until my dream becomes a reality I’m definitely going to be blogging more on WordPress…
What’s been going on you ask? A fantastic opportunity within the Adelaide Fashion Scene AND I am a proud Music Contributor for an online website, interviewing awesome bands, gig & CD reviewing !! Awesome!!
