Midnight Juggernauts were back for the first day of Come Together Festival at The Big Top along with a long line of acts. I got to shoot day one for REVERB Street Press in Newcastle.

Oh Mercy were definitely the standout act – something proven with their success in following up with a tour supporting Ben Folds around Australia and the release of their debut album.

Sounds in the Grounds hit the University of Sydney’s Manning Bar once again in October to please the listening tastes of most people. With acts including: Midnight Juggernauts, British India, Van She, Bluejuice, Lost Valentinos , Children Collide, [IS] and Numbers Radio there was something for everyone.

This is also the first festival (small as it may be) that I’ve had the privilege to shoot two years running. Compare what you see here with last years at euphemize.net/blog/archives/2007/11/08/sounds-in-the-grounds-at-manning-bar-usyd/.

Midnight Juggernauts finish a mammoth set at The Cambridge Hotel in Newcastle

For my second last gig with I’m With The Band in Newcastle I was given the opportunity to shoot Midnight Juggernauts when they hit Newcastle to play to a packed audience at The Cambridge Hotel. Although the original line up included Canberra’s Young + Restless they were replaced by Sydney’s The Paper Scissors who played first. Also in the support line up was Melbourne’s Damn Arms who played a great set.

Thanks

Thanks also to Damn Arms’ drummer Simon for the invite to have a beer afterwards and have a look at the shots. Was great to meet everyone and I hope to catch up with you when you hit Sydney supporting the Klaxons in their national tour of Australia.
