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.
Local Natives @ Heaven, 02 Mar 2010
The LA band Local Natives were headlining at Heaven (which by the way has a really good live programmation). Great energy, and great moustache. Be sure to also check out the cute and moody Peggy Sue who were supporting.
Peggy Sue @ Heaven, 2 Mar 2010
Peggy Sue was supporting Local Natives at Heaven in London. Really good vocals and harmonies but I would have liked a few more smiley faces…
Hildur Gudnadottir & Iarla O Lionaird @ Kings Place, 27 Feb 2010
The icelandic cellist Hildur Gudnadottir and the irish singer Iarla O Lionaird were performing this Saturday, as part of The Bubbly Blue and Green festival. The festival took place at Kings Place, a fairly recent venue near King’s Cross with an excellent acoustic.
Auriol Promo Shoot @ Battersea Park, London
Auriol is a professional singer whom you might have seen on this blog in a very different situation…
One Sunday, we went to Battersea Park to take some photos for her business cards, her coming website, and a generic poster that I designed as well (see at the end of the page).
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 – Condors, Japan Edition
Nedry ran out of CDs of their latest album Condors on the Japan tour, so we decided to create a special edition CD. The cover is one of the photos that I took during the first Japan gig. Here it is:
I am quite happy that we used a photo from the Japan trip, did the [...]
Japan – Harajuku, Tokyo
A few photos from Nedry’s gig in Harajuku in Tokyo. I was a bit disappointed as we did not see that many lolitas hanging about in the streets, but it was still an interesting area, and an awesome venue.
Les Nuits du Piano – Miho Nagata
I am currently in France, helping organizing Les Nuits du Piano, and of course taking a lot of pictures. It’s a classical music festival, with four solo pianists playing. Miho Nagata (pictured) is playing tonight, so come check it out if you’re in the area!

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 [...]
The Marvis in Black&White @ Monto Water Rats, 23 May 2009
I’ve taken a lot of photos of The Marvis, and also a lot of photos at Monto Water Rats so I thought that it would be good to have some kind of consistency on this set, rather than the usual sepia/colour/black&white. So they’re all black&white.
I like the extra sharpness on the shots taken with the [...]
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.
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.
