It was quite surreal to watch and shoot this show, and very, very special – The Cure were incredible and the local lineup did themselves and SA proud.

Here are some photos from the amazing Rock on the Lawns last month, featuring* Fokofpolisiekar, a once(well, technically ‘twice’ as they performed in Joburg too)-off re-union show from Zebra & Giraffe, Ard Matthews, Karen Zoid, Opposite the Other, Southern Wild, Hellcats and of course the legendary Cure.

*Also on the line-up were Diamond Thug but unfortunately I missed their performance.

Australian rockers Hands Like Houses put on a highly energetic and enjoyable show at Mercury last week, the latest from Jam Packed Productions who continue to import great bands while raising money for a worthy cause.

Completing the line-up for the night were Set for the Sky, As Time Divides, Retro Dizzy and Last One Alive (sadly not pictured as I missed their set). Also making an appearance was a stage-diver with the worst timing I’ve ever witnessed – the crowd dropped him twice but at least he went for it!

Here are some shots from the night.

The last time I saw Shadowclub was in 2014, so it was great to see them back again at Mercury recently. Not only are they back but they have new album out (Big Green Mamba Dream) and the gig served as a joint album launch with the always epic Hellcats (whose album The Hex and the Healer is one of my favourites of the year so far) and also featured the Man Motels.
