One of my day jobs sent me to Melbourne recently, and I randomly booked a hostel in St. Kilda, without realising it was the weekend of the St. Kilda Festival. I might just have been to four Big Day Outs, but that didn't mean I wasn't up for another day of gigs.

Now, onto the actual gig pic spam...

Husky were the first act I caught, on the main stage.

Then, Last Measure, on The Push Stage, which was the all-ages, local talent venue.

Then, on the air New Music Stage, I stumbled across The Violent Flames. They're originally from Perth, but have moved to Melbourne in search of fame and fortune. I'm reccing them. Go on, go listen to the tracks on their Myspace page. ~shoos you all over there~ They also have one crazy drummer, James, who I couldn't stop taking photos of.

The Galvatrons played the main stage next. They had a crazily photogenic bass player.

I have more photos, of The Angels, but I'm holding those back to exhibit in April. I'll post them here after that. And if you were wondering, I have a Nikon D40, with a bargain basement Cosina 70-210 telephoto lens.

"Last Measure" look so young . . . rather put me in mind of The Tockleys!!

Have you got your hearing back yet, I wonder!

Scary to be near Melbourn with the fire creeping closer! Stay safe . . . and thanks for sharing.

*hug*

I theory, I was taking the photos as research for the next Tockleys novel.

My hearing seems to bounce back fine from gigs. I think I've already lost the edge off my hearing range.

When I post The Angels photos, you'll be able to see how raw the crowd was emotionally, because we all knew the fires were burning, right on the edgge of the city.

Absolutely amazing photos! Did you take them? Because if you did, you've got yet another talent to boast about...*loves you*

Yes, I took the photos. I seem to have wound up with photography as a hobby, but I guess it's a logical extension from landscape painting. ~loves you too~
