Deceiver.

New track ‘Deceiver’ and ‘Forked Tongues’ from Rise and Fall’s set @ ACU, Utrecht – 11/03/11

RISE AND FALL – GHENT BEL

After Carpathian’s final European show in Paris I jumped a train for Bruxelles en-route to Ghent to meet up with Rise and Fall. Bjorn put me up in his typically beautiful Belgian apartment and showed me around the city of Ghent for almost a week before we went our separate ways to meet up with girlfriends across the world…
The realest deal included R&F studio time where I was the first outsider to hear pre-production of their wild new songs before heading to Utrecht, Netherlands for their headline show with Daggers.

Without a doubt R&F headline a list, of only a very few bands, that I have sincerely appreciated both getting to know as people and musicians as well as witnessing as an incredible live band.

Below are some 35mm shots I just got back from time in the studio and around town in Ghent.

Peace.

Glory days.

On the eve of announcing the band’s indefinite hiatus friend Matt Kovac’s emailed me these photos he discovered when developing and scanning old rolls of film.
Cool to see classic proof of us really having a rad time on tour.
These photos are from the May 2009 on the road with Have Heart which actually ended on a wild high/low in the streets of Sydney…
Shouts to Yusuke, K-Mac, Barbs and Kovacs for rolling with us.

The Germany does away with itself.

Back in Germany and picked up some developed shots from before tour with DS.
Spent most of today at the lake watching the ducks in just a t-shirt…

35MM

Picked up some 35mm cameras off eBay and put some film through them over the past few weeks. The shots are from the No Sleep Til tour and Christmas with family and friends. I will be taking 4 cameras to Europe in February and spending some extra time travelling after the tour with Defeater so expect some big updates on the blog and hopefully a little more consistency through 2011.

Day in day out.

Recently dawned on me I haven’t updated this in a long time… My apologies to anyone who finds it interesting to keep up to date with what’s going on in my life! Im not as creative as it may seem and I guess trying to keep a solid flow of interesting photos and content can become a bit of a daunting task. Recently I’ve been super busy with the studio and behind the scenes work with the record label etc. Two debut full length record’s coming from The Hollow and The Broderick straight out of the DS Studio! Hard to think it’s already coming up to the end of 2010, this year has had its moments, both slow and fast paced it has felt like a steady flow of ‘growing up’ time.On the horizon the No Sleep Til Festival tour and Carpathian / Defeater European Tour in February as well as spending some real time in Europe with an amazing girl.

Blacked out.

Blackout, after having his karate friend kick his foot in half, had some down
time during the month and snapped some roids of studio process…
Hit him up for design work!
