Worlds Greatest Shave

February 18th, 2010 — 5:23pm

Hey All,

I’m proud to announce, that I’m participating in the WORLDS GREATEST SHAVE!!! I urge everyone to come down and watch me lose 5 years of hair! All proceeds go to charity and we will be doing many great things on the day!

I’m hoping to raise $5000.00 to help out!!

The funds we raise will help the Leukaemia Foundation to provide practical care and support to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders, so be assured, it’s for a great cause!

I’ve had my hair since July 2005 and have been growing it in the dreams of getting dreadlocks, but having seen Lou Dare who I recently photographed, for the Worlds Greatest Shave, I decided I should do something to help charity, and here we are!

    Ghostboy With Golden Virtues

    February 8th, 2010 — 2:18am

    In the past few weeks, I’ve been shooting like crazy, trying to enhance my portfolio with some new images to help refine my style, that said recently I had the pleasure of shooting Ghostboy With Golden Virtues.

    Ghostboy with Golden Virtues (GBGV) are avant-garde art rock brutes!

    Flanked by multi instrumentalist chanteuses Skye Staniford & Hannah Jane, acclaimed spoken ‘weird’ artist & vocalist Ghostboy delivers his special blend of antagonism & sensuality with precise, almost sadistic delight. Dark horses Robbie Zawada, Paul Daly & Dan McNaulty (from We All Want To) round out the sound with electric guitars, bass, violin & drums; tap-dancing minx Loren Skyring sprinkles the voodoo dust on the edges.

    GBGV pants-off-punk-kabaret-músik is not for the faint hearted. These underground creatures seduce audiences direct into a world of Berlin-style rock ‘n’ roll debauchery. Infamous for their exploding live shows – drawing on elements of performance art rock & experimental cabaret – GBGV have graced stages to critics acclaim in recent years at Woodford Folk, Byron Bay Writers, Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub & Brisbane Cabaret festivals as well as around Brisbane @ venues such as the Zoo, The Hi-Fi, The Tivoli, & The Globe.

    Their debut album ENTER features songs co-written by the unique pairing of spoken weird singer Ghostboy and singer/band leader Skye Staniford. ENTER includes the erotic duende of lead single “Wolfish” – which has received multiple airplay on rage and Triple J – as well as 2nd single Love Me .

    You can find their music here

    Their album ‘Enter’ has the official launch on the 27th of Feb at the Hi-Fi Bar in Brisbane. I suggest you come along, young and old, it’s an event not to miss!! Info here

    A big thanks to The Troubadour for allowing us to use the venue.
    I’ll let the photos do the talking!
