Bob BLog!

I was pritty excited to be photographing Bob Log III again... but I squeeled like a little girl when I found out that Puta Madre Brothers were going to be supporting them! Both are awesome to watch, listen to and photograph..

Put Madre Brothers were their usual awesome selves, you really have to see this one remaining three piece one man band.

Bob Log III... he's a one man party. Gracing the stage in his usual get-up PLUS attached balloons, the night was awesome before it had hardly begun. I do love Bob Log III, but he seems to attract a rather large amount of muters. And by munters, I mean M.U.N.T.E.R.S. Jeeeeeesus.

"Bob"

"I got you a scotch"

Quote of the night, from the girl who managed to persuade (read: beg, torment and pester) all of the photographers there to take her photo "I'm like a model"

wow.

anyway... don't let that make you miss out on either of these performers... you may even get an unexpected laugh.

Mojo Juju

Back on the saddle for the AU review, I managed to save myself $6 by photographing Mojo Juju on a Sunday night. I didn't know too much about them except for what I saw on the YouTubes and that all looked pretty cool. We got there in time to see the floor fill up with hipsters sitting down. Whatever posses these people to do that is beyond me. Not only are they so far up their own asses that they either don't care or don't realise that when they sit on the ground they are taking up approx two standing peoples space AND.. it's a fucking floor of a night club!

EWWWWWWW CARPET AIDS!

Anyway, the first band was Warren Ellis, I mean pretty lovely. A singer/guitarist and a vionlist... vionlist? vionite? yea. So I did think these guys were cool, but lost serious brownie points because I think that the hipsters sitting down (refer to paragraph 1) had something to do with their mellow sounds.

On to MoJo Juju! a most awesome act, very worth seeing live totally. I am going to spend most my week trying to buy a double bass off ebay or similar..

Anyway, this isn't a review. I'd review those carpet sitting hipsters in the face, but it's not a review..

Photos!!!
