Facebook for current shows, this space to feature my archival recordings

Silver Shadows, live at the Brick and Mortar, July 3rd, 2015


Some things are in the works for later this year...likely more archival in focus...I have quite a few live recordings from 2008 onwards to resuscitate, due for later in 2015.

In the meantime, follow my current meanderings on Facebook.

For more Silver Shadows pics...

And for their fantastic performance of "Night Drive":

Setlist

intro
Around You, Around Me
Dusted
Spun
Lavender
Carquinez
Leeches

Been following this group and have seen them several times since one of their first shows back at the end of 2011, but have to say that for me, this was their best performance yet, and hope that great things continue to happen for them, as they are lovely folk.

This video encompasses the last four songs...


I also recorded the first two (audio-only though) as "Around You, Around Me" and "Dusted" are really strong as well.  I've augmented these with all the photos I took.


Another recording of "Spun", from Wayne Jessup, from a different angle...



Can't wait for when their album lands.

Some more photos...

A superlative set from Australia's finest darkwave electronic/noise group.

The camera work during the latter half of "Give It Up" is somewhat sketchy, apologies, the GoPro is still a new piece of gear and was still getting used to it.

Please, if you enjoy this, think of buying some of the group's product here or catching them live when they play near you...
