What’s up friends?? I have missed chatting with you all about stuff, but a boy’s gotta work. And by work, I mean making music for me and people I like. The topic at hand though is….. Documentaries. Do you like them? I do. I watch them all the time. I also like them when they are music docs. Well, it just so happens that a couple of chaps named Peter and Shane followed me around and filmed my every move and decided they wanted to make a documentary film. At first, I was skeptical because well… It’s narcissistic as shit, but they tricked me into thinking it was gonna just be a piece on me and the Widows making our last record The Spade. Turns out they just kept on shooting after that… For a year. They somehow convinced me to let them put it out, so here goes nothing….
It’s called “Out of Focus” and it will be debuting at the Nashville Film Festival on April 24th, watch the trailer here. I think I will come down to Music City USA for this and maybe if I am not busy throwing up from nerves, I am gonna sit quietly in the corner eating popcorn, then if you guys want, I will play a show at a venue called 12th and Porter the next night on April 25th. It will be a special intimate show with just yours truly, playing some songs and shooting the shit with you. I hope you all will come. It’ll make me feel a lot better about the whole thing.
Here’s all the info you need!

Well, what can one say about Steel Panther…having seen them back in 2007 in Los Angeles and Las Vegas when they were formerly known as Metal Skool, I knew exactly what to expect when they brought it down under! In Melbourne they played a “Sidewave” show with Alter Bridge, then there was the actual festival performance at Soundwave and I shot them at both. As far as photographing bands go…why couldn’t every band be as fun and easy to photography as these guys? Perfect lighting, color, an encyclopaedia full of rock moves and everything in between, if you are lucky, you will even get boobies!! With about 10 minutes of talking in between the 2nd and 3rd song, we definitely got ample time to shoot these guys…but alas, I didn’t quite manage to capture that Michael “Starr” jump at either show, but you want Satchel guitar solos, got them covered….

So the last band I took photo’s of was Incubus a few weeks ago now, yeah I know, I’ve taken a while to post up on here!
Never had experienced shooting songs 4,5,6 before, instead of 1,2,3…so that was a new one! Had the opportunity to interview Jose’ from Incubus the following day for www.maytherockbewithyou.com and asked him why that was, but you’ll have to read that interview to find out!!
