Last night saw the return of Insurge after a good number of years away from the stage, as part of the return of Rollercoaster (at Hermann's)... as a number of people commented,it was just like the 90s all over again, which I'll have to take their word for cos at the time Rollercoaster was flourishing I don't think I'd actually heard of it, and if I ( Read more... )

if you haven't been following my exciting life on facebook and/or didn't see me in the flesh at die maschine, you quite possibly don't know that after several years i finally decided to get my hair chopped off. from memory, the last time i even got a trim was some time in 2005 and the last time i actually had it short was probably 2003, so this ( Read more... )

continuing a series i began three months ago (alas, the delay in posting the followup can't be entirely attributed to spending eight and a half weeks in hospital; i'm taking advantage of the fact that i'm home for a couple of days to get on with it), here's a bit more of a core dump of photos taken at clubs and the like through the year).

Because some dickhead neglected to make sure the batteries in his camera were fully charged before going out, I didn't get quite all the photos I would've liked to take on Saturday night. Still, what I got was generally a pretty good selection, as I think you'll agree. ( And too bad if you don't. )

You may have noticed... well, you may not have noticed, and/or you may not give a shit anyway, but I've not been posting an awful lot of photos here lately. Part of that's because I'm not posting much of anything here recently, but also I just haven't been taking an awful lot of photos either.

So last night, rather than go to any of the usual suspects (Berserk in particular), I found myself at a metal gig at the Bald Faced Stag in Leichhardt. This is not something I normally do, obviously, but it was an album/EP launch for two bands (Ironwood and The Veil) that I've played on Dark Passage and I like the records, so I wanted to find out ( Read more... )

This month's theme being school uniform, which may partly explain some of the fashion sense on offer here. I was going to be lazy and just leave you people in the cheap seats out there to caption these for yourselves, but then I changed my mind. Whether you think I made the right decision or not is something I don't particularly care about. ( Fun and games behind the cut )

That was fun, although it might've been better had Tailor's closed the beergarden so that people had to sit inside; that way the interior of the place might've looked a bit less deserted at times than it tended to.

As for me, I danced to "Bela Lugosi's Dead" at one point, so clearly there is no hope for me.
