Good shot, Peter. What band?

 

[Peter Blake]

ha! I knew those pedals might hold some appeal for some....

you're supposed to work it out from the setlist!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Very cool... No clue on the band though!

 

[Brian Moore]

Wild stab: It's those twins from Edinburgh. Can't remember offhand what they call themselves, but they have an album (or maybe it's a song) called "Sunshine on Leith." I'm sure I'm wrong, though.

Nice picture, though. I like the boards and the worn away paint. I assume the color is from the stage lighting. Would you mind mentioning the camera you used as well as the aperture/shutter speed? Thanks.

Nice shot and an interesting angle. I don't think it's the Proclaimers Brian and the only Japanese guitar band I know is the 5678s! But I don't recognise the titles of the songs (unless it's David Byrne!).

 

[alfie Wright]

Very nicely done! I like the perspective here! I can't work out from that set list who the band is though!

 

[Peter Blake]

the band is called Shonen Knife, they've been around since '82, essentially three Japanese housewives, on speed. call themselves the Osaka Ramones. UK tour in October. wonder if I could wangle me in there.

I was shooting stills for a promo video, thought, hey, while I'm here, might as well shoot the gig as well. once the video production company have chosen a few snaps for the cover, I expect I can show some live shots.

D1x 1/8 at F4.5 (10-17).

Well I wasn't a million miles away with the 5678s then!! Another all girl Japanese guitar group!!

Very cool shot - love the distressed look!

 

[Pete Askew]

Distressed look. That's artistic angst!! Oh, I see. You mean the boards!!
