I shot this a couple of months ago but had to sit on it because it’s not released yet, it’s live, and they are perfectionists. They’ve finally agreed to let me put it out as a “not official” sneak peek of what’s coming up. Such a moving song. Also got the chance to hear them [...]

These guys are such talented babes, here’s an advance peak of a quick live video I did for them in their lair the Shadowlodge. Check out their album.
Sometimes I have the best job in the world. I got the chance to shoot Holiday Sidewinder & Pia May performing a cover of Dolly Parton’s ‘Here You Come Again’ at Sydney’s ‘Route 66′ rocker clothing store. It was part of the Hee Haw sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum. I also got videos of Seb [...]

“Chris Cornell in an intimate setting was a rare treat. It fulfilled the 90s fantasy of my inner 14 year old by seeing one of my idols from youth play in a room the size of your local pub, the kind of rad thing that I imagined was going on but was to young to [...]

Holla! Here’s a video I directed for Newtown gutter rockers Psychonanny & The Babyshakers. It was entered into the Sydney Fringe Festival Captured competition and came third both in the audience vote and judged categories. A really good result considering the subject matter and grungey aesthetic of this one. Was very nervous about it, figured [...]
Decided to start shooting interviews for Larry. Figure it’ll be easier to justify my presence in the room if Tom Waits comes to town. Whiskey!! I was never into Gomez, but I remember that the dudes who liked them in highschool all got laid more than me and the babes dig it. The Gomez dudes [...]
Here’s a promo I cut of footage of Pastemodernism II, the next one’s going to be on cockatoo island, it’ll be killer. Pastemodernism on Vimeo on Vimeo via Pastemodernism on Vimeo.
Instantly felt an affinity for this album, click through for my full review. “Johannes proves that being a multi-instrumentalist ain’t just for jazz, and is more than just being able to play bass and lead. It’s an album of songs with slow builds, not couple bar jingles. I’ll definitely be playing it again.” via Alain [...]
Really cool to see some more releases from these guys and a Black Angels Support. Way overdue to get signed. Honestly don’t know what A&R people in Australia do with their time.. The last live video I did for them has had 14k+ views so I got a little carried away on this one. Luke [...]
Finally got a chance to write an article about the early days of the band formally known as The Valentinos.. they had another couple of names briefly before that.. I’ll let you read the article. Interesting how different the early versions of the band were to what you may be familiar with. Retrospective: The Lost [...]

Check out a grungy live video I made of Pyschonanny and the Babyshakers playing Bondage at the Shadow Lodge. Always love seeing these guys play.

Great band, shitty venue – “Primal Scream played Screamadelica in it’s entirety and it was a rare treat. Transcending the unpleasant venue Selena’s, they joyfully played the ecstasy fuelled music they pioneered…” Primal Scream – Selina’s Coogee Bay Hotel (29.01.11) | the AU review.
Brains and boogie! ”Already familiar with the Oxford Art Factory’s typical debauched state, the idea of a book reading here conjured thoughts of drunken sea shanty prose being read to a dirty guitar backing; flagon in hand DBC Piere reciting verse to the cheers of the crowd as Gareth Liddiard strummed away… This fantasy faded as faced [...]

Having lots of fun. My Ben Frost collab Boob Tube went well at the Sydney Fringe Festival. There was excellent cheese at the opening. Looking forward to developing it further. The excellent cheese appreciation and the film. The Saint Augustine Academy short fashion film I directed premiered to controversy on Pedestrian. Chaingang’s latest music video [...]

Nice to write about local underappreciated acts.. “Sometimes you see a band and while you dig it there’s one thing that makes want to check them out again. Over a year ago I saw a band called Grimm Love and the stand out thing for me was guitarist Nat Moss. She has a peculiar way of bending [...]

The Chaingaing shoot went really well, Stephen dreamed up many delectible tortures that the band endured and we got to film. It’s my first time co-directing and it was an absolute pleasure. Nice to be able to share the load on an indie shoot. DOP was Rob, and the editor will be brother Larry.. Starting [...]
We’ve made the final for the Band of Skulls video comp. Thanks to all who voted/looked/commented/said voodoo prayers. Cheers to My Sydney Riot for blogging it. Love your work!
Rob Townsend was nice enough to interview me about my Band of Skulls video for his blog. Thanks Bobby!! Bobby’s a great supporter of local arts and a busy boy, if you want to stalk him and ask for autographs/exposure I recommend looking behind the decks next time you’re dancing to Prince or paying a [...]
My review of the Mark Lanegan show is up, it was ace. Thanks to Kalindy for the photo. Mark Lanegan + Amaya Laucirica – Metro Theatre 08.07.10 | the AU review.
