Keep Runnin' Your Mouth - ADTR Blitz the Barfly

Last Friday I was down at the Barfly to cover the show by the pop moshers A Day to Remember. I was covering it for both Powerplay Magazine and Birmingham Live. Because I was interviewing ADTR for the mag, I also got to do some promo shots, although due to a cock-up by the PR lady, I had to do these after dark instead of using natural light as I was hoping to do. Still, they came out reasonably well.

Then it was onto the gig, and first up a band from Glasgow called Azriel, who were absolutely awesome. They've got the talent to go a long way I think, and I was really pleased to get some cool shots of them.

Second on the bill were American band For the Fallen Dreams, another great live band who were a lot of fun to photograph.

Then it was down to ADTR to wrap things up. This was their third time in Brum, and the third time that I've photographed them. They keep on improving as a band, and last Friday's was their best yet that I've seen. Enjoy the shots!

There you go for ADTR...looks like it's going to be a bit quiet on the gigs front for me over the next few weeks, but if you've enjoyed these ones please leave me some comments to let me know what you think of my work. See you next time!

The Priest Feast

Last Saturday I headed off the the LG Arena at the NEC to photograph Priest Feast, featuring three legends of metal - Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Testament. I was covering the gig for Birmingham Live and you can see the review right here. First up, some pics of Testament.

Second on the bill, Megadeth who riffed and shredded their way through their one-hour slot in front on a wall of Marshall amps - very metal!

Then it was down to the Priest to round things with a hometown performance. One word can sum them up - metal!

That's it for Priest Feast, hope you liked them. If you did, please leave me some comments! Next blog will hopefully be picstures of A Day to Remember in Birmingham, until then stay safe and hope to see you back here soon.
