A sad farewell (and a lot of photos)!

Well it was a month or 2 ago now (I've had a dissertation to write), but Bristol's No Warning Shot called it a day after 6 years of doing their thing. I went to the gig with friends Chains of Hate and must confess, I had a grand old time!

This is going to be a bit of a rarity for me, I'm not going to present this in a band by band thing, I going to post it all chronologically so you get some idea about how the night went. There are a few more photos of one band, but that's because as great as they were, they didn't inspire the Mosh!! So I concentrated on taking photos!

But great night all round!

It's been a while....

since I posted new photos! I that realise that I posted some photos not so long ago, but this is the beginning of a big photo bender! May (maybe?) my old band played with Youth Gone Wrong (if you are paying attention I have already posted a logo design for them...and yes it was May), super nice guys and I must confess a real joy/oddity to shoot! The singer Steve kept his Mike on a stand for most of their set, which isn't exactly common place when you don't play an instrument as well. So this was a real challenge, but I think it did produce so awesome results, yes he lost the stand eventually, but a real pleasure and challenge.

As always a few choice cuts!

Gig poster...

One of the best studios in South Wales is having a birthday party! And surprisingly enough I'm doing the poster, haven't finished it yet, but I'm not sure as to whether I am happy with the text yet.

I don't know whether or not its finished, but I have done 5 different drafts of this, changed the details, started again once or twice and now I like it. This was a really odd bit of design as the gig is a real mish-mash of bands, electro-indie-pop, post harcore/emo, rap (nu) metal and straight up hardcore!!! So visual had to be fairly non-descript.





and the other version of the text...





I think the first set is better, but I still think I could change the text to something completely different!

After a late night internet chat client said he liked the second one, so second one it is!!

Yes Yes

Recycling!

Is it a compliment when you are faced with photos you wern't particularly fussed on being used in some way? I guess it is!

Well, I have posted photos of this band before and I was genuinely happy with the results I got. However if I know the band I will always try and give them the photos on a CD purely for their own records, no matter how out of focus, blurry, messy, etc. the photos are. They may well see something in there that will make them smile a long time after, so I try.

But in this case it's something different, photos I wasn't sure of being used for a bit of design! So congratulations to Jon Greenwood and This Hidden Switch for some "grade A" recycling!!!



Woo!
