My tim­ing for get­ting back into the groove of tak­ing live pho­tos for bands in Christchurch lately couldn’t have been bet­ter; with the oppor­tu­nity to shoot our local pop/punk heroes Fly­ing Solo. They’ve been around for five years now and have finally got around to releas­ing their debut album—“Don’t Be That Guy”. Over this last week­end Fly­ing Solo filled the house two nights in a row enter­tain­ing both the drinkers, and the soon to be drinkers (I’m sure).

I hadn’t heard Fly­ing Solo play since about four years ago, and it was pretty amaz­ing to see the devel­op­ment of these guys, their sound was sharp, their vocals were on, and they put on a very crowd inter­ac­tive show. They have hooks like you’ve never heard—‘Nothing to Lose’ was in my head for at least 24 hours after­wards. In sup­port over the two nights was a nice vari­ety of local acts from HC bombers ‘Out Cold’ through to the sweet acoustic ‘I Am The Light’ (scroll down to see sup­port act pho­tos as well).

Here’s a selec­tion of images from both nights — Enjoy!
