To coincide with the release of bluejuice’s new album Head of the Hawk, i dug out some of my photos from the archives for a pictorial retrospective in Tangent magazine.
Bluejuice is in the midst of an Australian tour at the moment and Head of the Hawk is out now.

I think I’m shooting these guys at the Brisbane HiFi this weekend. Really looking forward to it. I haven’t seen them live, but I get the impression they embody what you said in The Vine interview – it’s about the performace as much as the music.
That said, I’m also dreading the crap lighting and no photo pit that the HiFi has fast become famous for.
