How to be a Tourist in Your Hometown

How to be a Tourist in Your Hometown

 

A few snaps from my recent trip back to Sydney. It's fun to wander around your old stamping grounds with a refreshed eye and a hand full of 35mm. The space, warmth, greenery and general lack of up-keep of everything was a welcome contrast to Tokyo. At least for two weeks.

Hope you're enjoying summer down in that other hemisphere.

Royal Headache and Circle Pit

Royal Headache and Circle Pit

I am very, very excited about a couple of local bands I saw last week. Meet Royal Headache and Circle Pit, two of the best groups to come out of Sydney's lo-fi/garage/punk scene in...a while. Their live performances are a whole barrel of fun and the songs are catchy as hell. Royal Headache have recently supported Buzzcocks on their national tour, and Circle Pit the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Alright?
