The Xcerts, OK Go, Twin Atlantic, LightGuides, My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The Boxer Rebellion, Idlewild, Paramore, Little Comets, There Will Be Fireworks and Fun. are some of these bands.
I took photos of Jedward yesterday. They came out really well. Everybody seems to love the mid-air one the most, but as is typical, I’m not as happy with the colours/composition of it as some of the rest… But the rest aren’t mid-air…
Anyway, go look. Also, today my Flickr surpassed a quarter of a million hits. That seems a decent landmark to honour. So YAY ME!
My interview with Ben Liebsch. Loved his answers. Especially bits like:
‘You’re not supposed to get rich in this genre. You have fun while you’re young and you enjoy this life, but we will all probably end up with regular jobs one day. Why are people not OK with that? I’ll be content with a studio apartment and a nice bicycle in a city I love if we should be so lucky to make a little money.’
It’s an interesting perspective/sage observation that I wonder how many musicians actually consider, or whether they all think they’ll be The Rolling Stones, or be so respected after the couple of albums they might be lucky enough to make that they can continue to work with music in another way.
These are my favourite photos of the ones that I took last year. You can see tons more if you click on it and go to my Flickr.
My interview with Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic aka 30 Seconds To Mars. I went to Manchester and spoke to them backstage at the Manchester Central.
My interview with Gerard Way and Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance.
