mikesaid: Damn Terran

I photographed Damn Terran a couple of weeks ago but didn't blog it, so will include the shots in this one...

It was a rainy night, I was in Fitzroy and had just spent about 35 minutes trying to find a park - which is fucking awesome by the way, if you haven't done this I would suggest you try it. I had my usual pre gig warm up of a short black chased by a V and was ready to stand there with all the other hipsters and barely move even though the music is rocking.

First band I saw was Scul Hazzard (lady bass player which automatically gives then a 7/10 before hearing the first note) these guys were cool, awesome drummer. I remember thiking, wow - these dudes are my age - there is hope for me yet.

Hope was quickly dashed when the next band, Chicks Who Love Guns (Sydney) got on. They were probably 10 (I'm being nice) years younger than me. After the initial disappointment of an all male band we were treated to another great set - well worth checking out their show - fun to photograph too!

I have been enjoying Damn Terran since I saw them play with Ouch My Face last year, and I have been lucky enough to see them twice already this year before Saturday's gig releasing their 45. "Rebels". I'm not a critic (lies!) so I'm not going compare these guys to another band, or tell you what the lyrics are or any of that kinda thing - they are great to see live, and fun to photograph, that's really all that I care about...
