Baybeats 2008

[Shiro MS08th]

Back again to share more gig photos!
Went for day 1 & 2 of Baybeats and caught several bands performing.

Seen lots of people, all kind of people having fun.
Girls having fun, boys having fun, photographers having fun, musicians having fun, babe beside me with her friend talking to some Filipinos' guys before Typecast perform having fun, bodysurfers having fun, moshers having fun, security personnel having fun.
This time round didn't have trannys' having fun though, those who went to Electrico's We Satellites tour @ Youth Park would know.

Chatted with a few photographers' during the time I was there at the frontline, and saw a few familiar faces that are also shooting back then at the Electrico's gig @ Youth Park during National Day.

Onto the technical aspect, I never fail to screw up somewhere eh?
Didn't manage to get officials' access to this gig this time round, that means I'm confined to a spot to shoot and have no freedom to roam around, which I totally hate that cause that means the photos' composition/angles/etc... will be compromised.
But oh well, have to work with what I have.

Bands that I watched/photograph:

- The Shine&Shine&Shine&Shine
- Force Vomit
- Typecast
- Vertical Rush (Halfway through the set.)
- Faspitch (Last couple of songs only and didn't shot them due to just arrive at the event, and was at the sidelines.)
- Electrico
- Joy Electric

Love Electrico, Vertical Rush and Typecast most out of those bands I watched.
The Shine&Shine&Shine&Shine are pretty good too, unique style, well maybe it's just me.

Thanks for reading till this far lol, sort of like an afterthoughts of the event for me.
OK, scroll down for the photos!

Budding photographer thing?
But I'm definitely not going for the Esplanade official pass, the T&C is ridiculous.
There are some other media passes too but I didn't know till I met some other photographers at the event.
