View from the pit

a view from the pit a collection of shambolic, booze-fuelled photos from my iPhone from sweaty rooms in 2013

Max Raptor Shoreditch

welcome to a shoddy collection of dodgy pics taken with a shaky hand through a bleary pair of eyes and a trusty iPhone, from the bosom of many a pit and sweaty, dingy, lager-soused rooms. it’s not meant to be work worthy of serious consideration or harbouring any artistic merit; just a personal record of just some of the great bands who bravely and relentlessly travel the motorways in vans smelling of cocks and socks, playing toilets and scout huts, cellars and grander theatres alike. these are heroic men and women. keeping live music alive. raising collective raised middle fingers to the system, to control, to manufactured, autotuned gruel. and i love them all. obviously, all my favorites from are not represented here. some because i didn’t catch them live this year. but mainly because i was either too pissed or caught between sweaty blokes in snapbacks and backpacks or bearded hipsters in the heat of the pit. anyway, the images are not protected by any copyright or anything, so feel free to use them, steal them, share them, or whatever you like with them. enjoy. or not.

if you fancy having a look at equally shaky and shoddy words about live music, have a squizz at
