getting excited about the weeeknd.

what do you have planned for the weekend? we've got a ton of great music in atlanta. friday night i'm shooting galactic. i call them the daddy's of new orleans fun (obviously not the GRAND-daddies). their drummer is one of my favorites though. papa mali is opening and it should be a great show.

sat night we are going to tishamingo. a up and coming band, that seems to be really hot as of late. i expect this year to be big for them.

but the real excitement, comes in that it will be the first time i get to take my new 70-200 out for some music.

Sunday I'm shooting the Big Day Out festival in Melbourne which should be amazing - check out some of the bands I will be shooting:
Tool
Muse
The Violent Femmes
Jet
The Killers
My Chemical Romance
You Am I
The Vines

and a whole heap more!

So resting up before Sunday - cleaning my kit and making sure all is ready.

i've got nothing this weekend (for once!), but monday there's a pretty cool experimental show, featuring guitar maestro Rhys Chatham.

nice richard! looks like you have a fun weekend. i shot the femmes several years ago and was very impressed. the rest of that line up looks killer too!

narlus, this will be the first music i've shot all year; i'm itchin to get out!

Enjoy the 70-200 - I have a feeling mine will be the only lens I use on Sunday.
