Errors @ Scala, 04 Mar 2010
I absolutely love the band Errors and they deserve way more attention than they are getting.
It’s electronic yes, but also subtle and happy, in a non cheesy way. Those are the pictures I took at their London gig at Scala.
Loveless @ Eggman, Shibuya, Tokyo
Here are some more pictures of Loveless and their crazy singer Nana Kitade playing at Eggman.
Scary act, a bit mental, I loved it. For the original blog post, it’s here!

Fuaim – Ucess Lounge, Harajuku, Tokyo
I am back from my Japan trip with Nedry, and it is now time to go properly through all the pictures, sounds and videos. I start easy with some shots from the band Fuaim, who played with Nedry at the Ucess Lounge in Harajuku, Tokyo.
Nedry Live @ Anga, Chiba
A little video I made using pictures taken from Nedry’s first gig in Japan + one song (Condors) recorded that night. See more of Nedry and our trip here and on their website.

Rim Shots – Please vote for me in the Photography.Book.Now competition
I’ve self-published a book called ‘Rim Shots’ on Blurb, and entered the Photography.Book.Now competition. This book is a collection of gig photographs taken in London over the last 2 years, and a tribute to those small bands that may become big one day.
I focused on the dark atmosphere and the dim light that you find [...]
Renegade Sound, Promo Shoot, Brick Lane, London
You know a band is motivated when they (almost) all show up on time, at 9am on a Saturday morning. I had the perfect location in mind, near this vegan bustaurant but it turned out it was private property (“Don’t you see all the cameras?” said the security dude – right, that’s obviously a criteria [...]
Fallenfest @ La Cigale, Paris – Stoned Popes, 2009 Winners
I heard about the Fallenfest festival through Thomas, a friend of mine trumpetist in Stoned Popes. Fallenfest is a competition for upcoming bands in Paris and its area. They get to play at really nice venues as they progress through the competition, and this year, the final leg was at La Cigale, a major venue [...]
Nedry @ The Dublin Castle, 14 Jun 2009
Staying in the dark black&white mood from the last post. I liked the lights at this Nedry gig, very different from the one at the Good Ship.
Good crowd turn out, tighter set, things are coming together at a steady pace, and I can’t wait for their album to come out (August!).
Seiji and his band, the Tower Tavern, 23 May 2009
Funny story here: I bumped into Seiji on my way to shoot another gig, The Marvis, playing at Monto Water Rats. Now, I used to play with The Marvis (I was the drummer) and guess what, so did Seiji, who was the drummer after me.
He no longer plays with them either and found this [...]
Nedry @ The Good Ship, 22 May 2009
The awesome Nedry built up in intensity as the set went along, Ayu’s fantastic voice supplementing Matt and Chris’s catchy beats.
Read my review of the gig here.
Voynaru @ The Cross Kings, 10 May 2009
Witchy is the word that comes to mind when you first hear and see Voynaru. They gave for their first gig a very original performance, using powerful strings (cello & violin), subtle and steady drums, and transe-like vocals (by Ayu Okakita, whom you can also hear in a different style with Nedry).
They are not the [...]
Nedry @ Ginglik, 9th May 2009
Nedry is a fantastic band. Matt and Chris take you to some fantastic place between Air and Boards of Canada, and Ayu gently adds her mesmerizing voice.
The Renegade Sound @ Monto Water Rats, 17 Apr 2009
After Buried in Mexico and Dobramind, The Renegade Sound took the stage for a raw and powerful set.
Dobramind @ Monto Water Rats, 17 Apr 2009
Dobramind had a way more chillaxed style than Buried in Mexico. Interesting and steady rythm section (drums + percussion), ambient singing, and a strong presence on stage made their set a pleasure to watch.
Buried in Mexico @ Monto Water Rats, 17 Apr 2009
Buried in Mexico was the first band I shot that night. Three-piece band, they sound like they could be 4 or 5, mostly thanks to the communicative energy of the lead singer Jessica.
