MÖTLEY CRÜE – Front and Centre

MÖTLEY CRÜE – front and centre, that’s the only way to see these heavy metal legends play after 30 years last night at the Entertainment Centre, Sydney.

The hard-living legends, Nikki Sixx (Bass guitar), Tommy Lee (Drums), Mick Mars (Lead guitar), and Vince Neil (vocals/guitar) may look weathered, but these guys aged between 49-60 years old know how to still rock with the best.

Live Music Photographers were not there for a professional role, but for strictly entertainment purposes.  The only way to really see and feel MÖTLEY CRÜE  play was to make my way up to the front and centre.  By the end of the first song, I was up there.

The next 1 1/2 hours I was guided by a wave of people head banging, jumping up and down with ‘Devil Horns’, pushed in the back, kicked in the legs, pinched by people trying to squeeze into a gap no bigger than a tuna can.  Not to mention having other peoples sweat being rubbed on my face and body, strangers arm pits in my mouth.  But hey, like one guy said, “are we here for fucking Cold Play?”

Everything from Tommy’s roller coaster drum set, Mick’s look of  ’death warmed up’, Nikki’s saliva spitting antics into the crowd and Vince’s “where’s all the fucking good looking women at” attitude, there was no better way to see these guys than up close and personal.

Sex, Drugs and rock’n roll, MÖTLEY CRÜE, what more can you say about these guys??

Australian Dance Festival

The Australian Dance Festival was held over the weekend at the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre.

The Australian Dance Festival wasn’t  just for the professional, but for the beginner, student or a non-dancer, who just loves to dance.  Workshops, performances and dance competitions were held over the weekend, where some of the students work was performed in front of professional judges.

Live Music Photographers were there to capture the showcase performances and the Dance Around The World Solo Competitions for the Sydney Olympic Sports Centre. Both the showcase and solo competition was fierce, as all competitors danced their hearts out, to show the up and coming talent Australia has to offer.


Checkout some images of the Australian Dance Festival from Live Music Photographers.

The Licks – Guilty of Rock n’ Roll

The Licks posted a video on YouTube early 2011, which contains a lot of photographs taken by Live Music Photographers.

The Licks recorded “Guilty of Rock n’ Roll” in a private Balmain studio in August 2010, which is the backing song to this YouTube post.

Live Music Photographers would like to thank The Licks for using their images in this music video.  Live Music Photographers look forward to more future encounters with these Rock n’ and Rollers of Sydney.

N.B: The images taken by Live Music Photographers, are actually marked by the old water mark of ‘Dean Wignell Photography’.

The Majestics

 

The Majestics entertained a full house in one of the largest Vietnamese restaurant in Cabramatta on Saturday night.

 

Now, Vietnamese music is not something you would typically find on the Live Music Photographers blog, but having a family member play in the band just made sense.  The Majestics is a four piece band which often play in clubs and restaurants in Sydney, predominately Cabramatta and Bankstown.

 

Live Music Photographers were asked to come along and help promote The Majestics at a local fundraiser, helping a local Buddhist monastery  raise money.  The Majestics supported local singers and well known American Vietnamese singers perform.
