Seeker Lover Keeper

Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby, all successful artists in their own right have combined to form Seeker Lover Keeper. They released an album in June 2011 which interestingly debuted higher than any of their own albums (#3). Currently on a tour throughout Australia called Heavenly Hands - A Tour of Churches and Cathedrals I had the opportunity to photograph them at St Michael's Church in Melbourne.

Te night started with Henry Wagons (had to be in there somewhere!) performing solo - quite different from the rip-roaring set I saw on Saturday, and no F bombs, despite me putting up $5 if he did. It's always interesting to see Henry perform as a support act, see him winning over the crowd - quote of the night was early on "Harry Wagons is great, you will love him".

Seeker Lover Keeper came on only about 15 minutes after Henry finished, which was fucking great, well done! There are only a few dates left on the tour so all three are comfortable with eachother, and they are all quite funny - I suspect by the end of the tour they will be out of church jokes.

It was interesting shooting this one - it was such a special venue that the performers were not the most important thing to capture!

See the whole lot here!

Good Golly Miss Holly

Holly Throsby was my next performer to photograph for the Dwarf... I had had a quick listen on HerSpace when I applied for the gig, sounded alright - that cutsey aussie stuff that when done well is great to encounter. I thought at least if the music doesn't appeal to me, she is good to look at!

I didn't want to get there too early as I had seen one of the other acts before, and although I didn't NOT like them, I didn't get into them. Otouto: apart from not being able to say their name, I also can't really describe the music, which is a really good thing. I was happy to get there for the whole set and this time it was nice, although I still think that if I wasn't there to photograph and was just sitting down checking it out, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. They are one of the few different bands I have come across while photographing in Melbourne.

Holly Throsby and the Hello Tigers were a good band, really great musicians - there really is a clear distinction between Sydney girl band girls and Melbourne girl band girls though, very interesting.

Anyway, you probably skipped to here.. on with the pics!
