Come Together Festival, Sydney June 8 2008

I shot the second Come Together day for Faster Louder. It was an all Australian lineup, both well known and local acts. I was on my feet from about 9am-11:30pm and probably only got a few hours sleep.

The day started early for me because I had to capture atmosphere as well as the bands. I envied the other photographers who were just there to shoot the live bands, but I suppose it is sometimes fun taking photos of excited punters.
I managed to shoot 14 bands, 9 I've never shot before.

First up is Short Stack:

Ash Phoenix (Faster Louder Stage):

Sky Bombers:

Calling All Cars:

Many Machines on Nine (MM9):

Trial Kennedy

The Getaway Plan:

The Hot Lies:

Gyroscope:

The Living End:

All the punter photos can be found at www.fasterlouder.com.au

Come Together this sunday

This sunday I will be shooting the more punkrock Come Together day. I have sort of worked out what bands I'll be shooting:

12:30pm – Short Stack
1:00pm – Acid Eyeliner
2:15 - Ash Phoenix (Faster Louder Stage)

2:30 - In Fiction
3:00pm – Sky Bombers
3:30pm – Calling All Cars

3:45 - Ben Ely's Radio 5 (Faster Louder Stage)
4:00pm – MM9
4:30PM – Trial Kennedy

5:15pm - Witch Hats (Faster Louder Stage)
5:30pm – The Getaway Plan
6:05pm – Straight Arrows (Faster Louder Stage)

6:40pm – Mammal
7:15pm – The Hot Lies
7:55pm – Birds of Tokyo
8:40pm – Gyroscope
9:35pm – The Living End

It's not my final decision. I'm still trying to decide whether I should shoot the majority of the bands that are playing on The Faster Louder Stage, with me being the Faster Louder photographer and all.
