“Grumpy yelp and stamp with the best of them but even in this short set there’s plenty of range, a spiked boot with a softer strut, a stillness behind the whomping. Softened by wit, but still covered in spikes.” Gallery

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
