Artist's Comments

One of the shots taken at the Big Day Out Festival ([link]) here in Perth. This was during The Mars Volta's set and they had to be one of my highlights... pure psychedelic improvisation... amazing onslaught of raw energy that was humbling to watch. I'm still wondering whether the drummer was in fact a robot. Was amusing to see a few people walking away going "They didnt play *insert track name* :( " Its not like it was a suprise that they didnt do the generic setlist type performance... shouldve known prior what to expect from their live performance/journey.

Neato, I like how his big ole' hair stands out against the whiteness of the background. Very cool.

"All i know now is regret,
it follows like a silhouette along the cobbelstone behind us,
but has nothing to say except to innocently ask,
its voice delicate as glass,
"Do you see me when we pass?"
but i continue on my way."

Must have been one of the singers more calm moments, a moment that doesnt consist of him putting the microphone in his mouth and other strange and crazy things. Great shot, I love the glow you gave it, very surreal.
