New Photos: The Polyphonic Spree on Drowned in Sound

Following the Kingsley Chapman and the Murder set from this week’s Photo Friday, those sterling chaps at Drowned In Sound have also uploaded my shots from The Polyphonic Spree‘s recent Newcastle show over the weekend.

This was part of Poly Spree’s tour celebrating the 15th Anniversary of The Beginning Stages of… – the album that contained ‘Soldier Girl’ and ‘Reach for the Sun’. Their first shows over here in 12 years, and it was like they’d never been away. Coincidentally, DiS is also 15 years old this month – so happy birthday to them too! Photo link below.

New Photos: Mark Lanegan on Drowned In Sound

Drowned in Sound have uploaded some of the photos I took of Mark Lanegan at the Riverside in Newcastle recently. There’s also a couple of shots in there I took of the Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag) and Zander Schloss (Circle Jerks, Joe Strummer), now touring as the frankly brilliant Sean and Zander. If you fancy a look, the gallery link is below.

This week, a couple of new music things have appeared online. Firstly, my shots from Mastodon‘s thunderous pit stop in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne last week are up now on Drowned In Sound‘s In Photos section. Meanwhile, on Thrash Hits have another review from me. Geocidal is the debut of tētēma – that’s Mike Patton‘s intriguing new avant-garde collaboration with Anthony Pateras. Links and more below…

Photo Friday Thursday: Möngöl Hörde w/ Palehorse & Oxygen Thief

Continuing the tradition of Photo Any-Day-But-Friday, this week I’ve got some bonus shots for you. You might have heard of Frank Turner – he was the one playing folk guitar on the hill during Danny Boyle’s Olympics Opening Ceremony last year. You might not have heard of his other band, Möngöl Hörde. Completed by Matt Nasir (from Turner’s backing band The Sleeping Souls) and Ben Dawson (Turner’s former bandmate in Million Dead), they hit the road earlier this Summer with Oxygen Thief and Dawson’s other band Palehorse – including a date at Newcastle’s Academy 2.

I could tell you what a brilliant night it was, but you can actually find all my thoughts in the Thrash Hits review that I, err, didn’t actually realise was online. You can read it here:

However, I also took some shots that night that didn’t end up making the final review. So I thought you lot might like a look. Enjoy!
