Awwww I am so proud.. like you have no idea.
I remember one night I was out and ran into Trish, Nat & Vi...this was a few weeks ago but this suddenly all came back to me this morning. The power of the subconscious at work, probably because I am reading BLINK at the mo.

We were all just chilling and was talking about what's news....Out of nowhere, Trish mentioned 123 Amazing got posted on PINGLEWOOD! To my excitement and disbelieve....I was just super stoked for the band.
This is some serious kudos to the band to make it on such an awesome music blog for all music loving nerds and cool kids around the globe.

GO 123! Oh and they used my photograph....I am experiencing so much joy, it is a bit painful but it is so good.

While I was talking to Katy yesterday, she also gave me a new Gem of a song from a fellow Manchester native and current Supermodel sensation Aggy! I was reading the latest i-D magazine which is dedicated to her and according to the editors, this is a historic first. This is where I discovered, she can actually sing and genuinely sounds like a super cool chick.

Who said beauty is not skin deep? Oh British girls rock! Yesssss

Humble beginnings should begin at a Dirty Bar

I haven't been to the Excelsior Hotel in ages.
The first time I went there for my first live photo gig, it wasn't for fasterlouder or anything but ironically that is where it all began with where I am today on my music influences and appreciation of photography.

I went to high school with Chris and Josh, they were the boys that got me into punk and alternative music. They always played music and I did a band logo for them when I was in year9, purely by luck aka. Myspace that we got reunited through other school friends they had formed a new band called Chris Duker and the Royals.

Here is one of the photos I first took of them.

Fast forward to May 2008. I have met loads of amazing bands since October last year and my photos have gotten a little finer through time, which is still a bit of a blur for me since I am such a novice who happens to like music and people a lot, so lucky has been good to me.

This is one of my favourite bands right now, they are 123 Amazing. Not just a catchy name, these kids are all really passionate and talented. I am super grateful that they have supported my ideas so often.
Here is a few shots of 123 Amazing oozing of nostalgia at the good old Excelsior hotel.

The girls led me to Pickpocket.

FHM threw a private party.
There were a few familiar faces I knew.
And of course there were girls.








I left the FHM party after I had taken a few photos for work. To meet my friends at Candy's to watch 123 Amazing play. It was a haven away from the swanky crowd but the venue somehow smelt like a stink bomb. To make it worst. At the end of the show, Pat pointed out there was vomit at the corner near the Speakers.....we checked our watches in dismay - it was only 11.3o and it is a Thursday night. How can someone possible spew at such an innocent hour?

A Monday Night show

Another Band Comp.
A chance to play at Homebake 08.
A rad undiscovered band supported by all their friends in the crowd.
Shhhhst it was a cold wet Monday evening.....I really should be going home to sleep but I love these guys too much to miss another show.






LOVE x

Amazing Kids!

I did these profile shots for the band over the Easter weekend. They are exceptionally fun, talented and rad. I saw them play with teenagersintokyo at the Hoey last year and noticed the drummer was a friend whom I was introduced to by my friend Ann, whilst I was extremely drunk at the Vice party.

Since then I had seen them play a few more times and got to know them pretty well, they are always good fun to watch and hang out with.

They got a few shows coming up around Sydney, you should go check them out.
For more details, visit their myspace

Their EP should be available for sale soon as well.
AMAZING!
