If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted anything lately, it’s because I’ve been: Busy as hell with class Tirelessly (I wish) shooting shows Doing work for various clients
Over the last few months I’d heard a lot about Qi Lai Observatory (奇萊山觀測站) but never really got the chance to check ‘em out myself. So, one quiet Wednesday in
Getting back into the swing of things in January, I figured I’d have a nice, slow Wednesday night at Revolver and catch newcomers Commercial Killing. I’d never heard of them
Being the first international act I got to shoot this year, I was pretty excited about their gig despite not having heard of them before. Yeah, gasp, I never did
I’ve caught 88 Guava Seedz (sometimes referred to as 88 Balaz, 八十八顆芭樂籽) several times before, but for some reason I’ve never gotten around to posting about it (with the exception
After catching them at Revolver’s anniversary party, which I posted but didn’t do a full writeup on, I knew I just had to shoot The Deadly Vibes again. Sure enough
The last time I saw New Sunglasses (新墨鏡) was back in April of last year. Back then, if memory serves, I said they were pretty ordinary. So while I didn’t
I’d previously caught Go Go Rise (美好前程) at last year’s Beastie Rock Fest, and while I wasn’t exactly blown away, I do remember I thought they were a decent little
I had hoped to start 2013 with a review of a some great gig I went to kicking off the year. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. While this isn’t going
I’ll be honest: going into this shoot I didn’t really know what to expect. My last few experiences with Taiwanese metal weren’t exactly awesome, and I’d heard things about Chthonic
While I had heard of them before, I only first saw Matzka perform at Hohaiyan 2012 and I thought to myself that these were a bunch of dudes doing their

The week I shot these photos in I had a pretty busy schedule. This was day number two out of four shooting that week, and even though it was Revolver’s
I first heard Silent Toads (啾吉惦惦) at the On Site show at Treasure Hill a few months ago, and the impression I was left with was that they rocked. So,
I’m kind of pissed with myself for taking so long to get around to posting this set, because Guntzepaula (槍擊潑辣) is definitely on of the top bands in my list

Because I’ve neglected the site for like a month now, this and subsequent posts will be mostly just photos, not even my notes. Normally I’d just toss things out, but
While I’m not the biggest fan of this kind of music, I hold a great deal of respect for one-man band Sonic Deadhorse. On top of playing with a ton
Getting decent photos of Manic Sheep has been something of a unicorn hunt for me. Every time I’ve seen them play there’s been some kind of issue, usually a complete
Continuing the saga of my short posts, here’s some shots from OCD Girl (強迫女孩) at Revolver. It’s kind of a shame that I’m not doing a full writeup, because from
Still feeling kind of lazy and in my rut, so the short posts continue. It’s kind of a shame, though, because I really liked the Wildeer (野鹿) set. I’ll definitely
I’ve been in kind of a rut lately, so the queue for photos and blog posts has grown completely out of control. While I’m not completely out of my slump,
This post is reaching it’s expiration date (as in, it’s been in my work queue too long) so I’m just keeping it down to photos and photographer’s notes. If you
Daniel Pearl World Music Days are events held worldwide in remembrance of American journalist Daniel Pearl, promoting the idea tolerance through the medium of music. Last year I found out
It’s a rare evening when I walk into Revolver and feel both alienates and strangely at home. The night that La Cumbia Balkanska played there was one such night
Over the last couple of months there have been a number of On Site (混種現場) events throughout Taipei. Partially due to being busy elsewhere and also a lack of interest
Launching their EP Fuck You I Love You, Floaty were the main event at Underworld, with Roxymoron opening for them. I actually can’t remember how many times I’ve seen Floaty
While I’ve covered Roxymoron on a couple of occasions in the past, I never really did get around to making a write-up. Lucky for me (and for all of you!)
While it hasn’t been exactly one year since the Blues Bash 8 — coming in just short a month and change on a whole year — for me this particular
I’ll be honest, before I was told they were coming, I didn’t even know Unisonic existed. Sure, I’d heard music from every member of the band when they did work
Opening for Unisonic in Taipei on September 13th, 2012, was local metal band Nocturne Moonrise. There’s been a lot of buzz around this band, mostly about something to do with
