Sound Summit 2012, Newcastle

Took some photos. Here are a small handful, but there are a whole lot more here. For the full (hand-picked, versatile, and very impressive) line-up see here. These are a mixture between film & digital and are all from the Croatian Wickham Sports Club showcases.

Seaworthy and Hinterlandt at places+spaces, The Rocks Sydney, 07/06/12

Part of the programming for Vivid Sydney in a tiny art gallery in the Rocks. I'm not sure how exactly this was all tied in but it is always lovely being able to see Seaworthy perform.

 

 

Jacaszek at Holocene, Portland 29/04/12

Treny is one of those great albums that really gets under your skin, and this didn't have quite the same effect which was mildly disappointing to me, but it was a good show nonetheless.

Misc from an OAF show sometime in November 2011 ft. The Nugs, TV Colours, and Yes I'm Leaving

Things I never got around to doing.

Jimmy Trash and the Gunpowder Temple of Heaven at Antje Oklesund, 10/02/12, Berlin

So this was about four months ago. Antje Oklesund is an old stable I believe (or I overheard it incorrectly, but that seems about right.) It was fun. Berlin is fun.

  

Jad Fair at Petit Bain, Paris 07/12/2011

I am fairly sure that I couldn't trust a person who actively disliked Half Japanese, and against all odds this was a really excellent show and that is all that needs to be said.

Songs and Dick Diver at Goodgod Small Club 12/11/11

Sort of disappointed with how these photos came out, but Dick Diver are such a fine band that I couldn't not put them here. You can stream the whole album or buy it from Chapter Music.

Also, I'll be going away for seven months and I'm not sure what will happen to this blog (mostly because I am entirely unsure of which camera to travel with and might just throw my hands in the air and take neither,) but if it's of interest I'll likely be posting more inane stuff on tumblr.
