Last month Hot Water Music played their first headlining shows in Australia since 2010. Was great to get to see em live again in Sydney, in front of a full house at Crowbar; the band was in awesome form, their delivery as powerful and passionate as ever 🤘🔥🤘 📷 shot for @loudonline Presented by @sbmpresents #hotwatermusic #sbmpresents #whammy  #chuckragan #chriscresswell #trustychords #remedy #loud #loudmag #loudonline #rodhuntphoto #rodhuntphotography #crowbar #crowbarsyd #crowbarsydney #punk #punkrock #bandphotography #concertphotography #livemusicphotography #musicphotography

I finally got to see the Osees (aka Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) live and photograph them in Sydney last weekend, at the Metro. Why did I wait so long?! 🤔😵‍💫 They played a loud, lengthy, non stop set (it felt like they'd play all night if you let 'em), though that's not to say that the pace and feel didn't vary; the Osees are a band that can't be easily pigeonholed. With some bands, two drummers can seem like a bit of a gimmick, but not with these guys - it definitely added to their performance 🤘🤯🤘 They've only got two dates left to go on their current Australian tour.  Friday 7 March - Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne, VIC Supports:  Kissland + Sleeper & Snake - sold out -  Saturday 8 March - Golden Plains Festival, Meredith, VIC #osees #ohsees #theeohsees #theohsees #OCS #johndwyer #deathgodrecords #waxfacetoys #feelpresents #davelaingpublicity #LOUD #loudmag #loudonline #rodhuntphoto #rodhuntphotog #rodhuntphotography #bandphotography #concertphotography #livemusicphotography #musicphotography #metrotheatre #croxtonbandroom #thecroxton #goldenplainsfestival #goldenplains #goldenplains2025

Formed in 1988, in Wellington, New Zealand, Shihad have decided to call it a day. The first time I can remember seeing them was when they played as one of the supports to Fear Factory at Selina's in Sydney, in 1993. I was a big fan of their debut album, Churn, which was released that same year. Bittersweet is the best way I can describe taking in and photographing one of their final shows recently, at the Roundhouse in Sydney. They played an expansive, powerful and passionate set, taking in songs from all eras of the band's 36 year, 10 album history 🤘💥🤘 📷  shot for @loudonline There's only one date left to go on the Australian leg of the band's The Final Tour - Loud Forever 1988 - 2025 😢 FRI 7 MAR – THE FORUM | MELBOURNE +BODYJAR + BATTLESNAKE — SOLD OUT — And Shihad's final shows will, fittingly, be played at home in En Zed.

Amyl And The Sniffers brought London duo Bob Vylan with them as main support on their recent Australian tour. Was great to get the chance to see the two Bobs in our own backyard, delivering their unique blend of sharp, incisive, hip hop, punk and grime, bolstered by live drums 🤘👊🤘 📷 shot for @loudinline Presented by @supersonic_billions #bobvylan #thebobs #bobvylaniskillingpunkrock #amylandthesniffers #supersonicbillions #riothousepr #riothousepublicity #waveswollongong #wollongong #thegong #yoursandowls #rodhuntphotog #rodhuntphotography #bandphotography #concertphotography #livemusicphotography #musicphotography #loudmag #loudonline #LOUD

Amyl And The Sniffers hit Wollongong recently as part of their Cartoon Darkness World Tour. It was a Monday night, that felt more like a Saturday, with the band playing in front of a very fuckin' excited full house at Waves 🤘🎉🤘 I first saw them play and photographed them back in November 2017 at River Rocks Fest in Geelong. They've come a long way since then, as a band, and (to state the obvious) in terms of popularity 🚀 Next stop on their global tour, Brazil! 📷 shot for @loudonline #amylandthesniffers #amytaylor #cartoondarkness #cartoondarknessworldtour #supersonicbillions #riothousepr #riothousepublicity #waveswollongong #wollongong #thegong #yoursandowls #rodhuntphotog #rodhuntphotography #bandphotography #concertphotography #livemusicphotography #musicphotography #loudmag #loudonline #LOUD
