Behind the Scenes at the August Photoshoot

Yesterday we spent the entire day taking new photos at a whole bunch of different locations across town. It was a whole lot of fun and we got to work with a great photographer, Chris Ahern. We'll definitely be working with him again on more stuff in the future.

We're looking forward to getting the shots back and we'll post them on thequills.com.au as soon as they're ready. So check the website in a few days to see them. Video and behind the scenes shots below.

Andrew and Dave go to Death Cab For Cutie

On Friday night Andrew and I headed along to the Death Cab For Cutie concert at The Tivoli. It was great! Death Cab write some really cool songs and they pull them off live really well. I don't think I have ever seen anyone sweat on stage as much as lead singer Ben Gibbard though. Anyway, here are some photos and a video of our night.

Anticipating Being Shot

Okay, so the title is a little dramatic. We're prepping for a brand new photoshoot this Sunday. It's going to be on location and we've been scoping a whole bunch of different places from rooftops to secluded hallways to carparks and many in between. Let us know if you've come across any awesome locations that would be really good for the shoot. We love new ideas.

A couple of months ago we met a fantastic photographer, Chris Ahern (this is his website, check it out - www.kickthecowphotography.com), who'll be behind the lens on Sunday and probably a lot more in the future as well. He can turn something ordinary looking into something that looks incredible.

So expect some cool photos very soon. We'll post some pics and clips from the shoot as well so check back here next week.

Death Cab Yeah!!


Going to the Death Cab concert this Friday was almost a tragic story for me. Having hyped a whole bunch of people up to come with me the concert sold out in a few hours leaving me as the only one who got a ticket. Tickets were selling on ebay for over $150 each so it was looking like I was destined to go this one alone when, low and behold, Andrew managed to talk his way into free tickets. I'm sort of jealous that he didn't have to pay but hey it's better than going solo.

The show's this Friday at the Tivoli. Should be awesome. I've seen them once at Splendour in the Grass a couple of years back and their new album is very very good so I'm counting down until Friday night.

Is anyone else lucky enough to be going?

These Girls Are Great


Avaberee are a band of three girls and sing some of the coolest harmonies we've heard in a while, particularly since they're so young. Their voices are so amazing that we've had them up on stage to sing with us. They just won Nova 106.9's Rock School Comp at the Ekka. If you're heading into the RNA this Saturday they're playing there again opening for Faker. Well worth a watch.

Congrats girls!!!!
