Rock, Datarock!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated and since then I’ve shot Norwegian rockers Datarock for Rave Magazine.
These guys all like to wear matching Track Suits with their band name emblazoned down the sleeves and pant legs, makes it hard to pick out who is who in the band unless you are the bass player and you are the size of a flea!
The band started out with a tune from BMX Bandits and I’m sure a lot of the crowd had no idea what it was, myself included maybe I should buy this old Kidman classic and see what the retro fix is all about.
The band came out on stage with hoodies up over their heads bouncing around like boxers ready to take on an opponent and launched into song! The downside being a photographer at this gig was the energy, no pit area to be safe in and the red lights on red Track Suits were great. They did have a few white lights positioned really poorly beside the two main
singers and they came on at many different intervals, so when they went dancing around puling moves and jumping it was all missed due to poor lighting and me still boycoting external Flash.
I did manage some decent shots though, one of which was printed in this weeks Rave Magazine and in full colour too! I’m pretty stoked about that as I haven’t seen many Rave photos in full colour before, I wish they would it with all photos printed as it makes them more attractive to the eye.
I won’t be shooting Job For A Cowboy Friday night as I have a back injury from work so I am having a few days off. Should be shooting Steely Dan on Sunday night I’ve also been confirmed to shoot Funeral For A Friend on Tuesday night and Snow Patrol on Wednesday night !
Also on another note, I have an Australian designer starting to work on my website next week. It’s been a long time coming but I believe after a year of shooting I have enough material that I should finally get one together and present my services to the public. It swill be professional, fresh, sleek and different to all the music photographers websites out there.
Coming Next: Steely Dan + Funeral For A Friend + Snow Patrol
