Director

February 3, 2008

Director is a hot young band doing the hard slog around Melbourne’s pubs right now. Their style is borrowed from ballsy Rolling Stones cuts with an injection of Slash, Beatles & Aerosmith into the song-writing, played with today’s energy a la Jet via a rockin’ triple guitar attack. Their stage show is powerful and exciting, with all members very aware of their stage presence and the need to entertain. Like Kiss many years ago, Director plays to their audience as if they are in their thousands, for they believe you should get what you came for.

These images came from a shoot at the Noise Bar in Brunswick, where the lighting was challenging at best, but I had perfect access to the band. I love the grittiness of this image, and after all I am a fan of electric guitar. Just wish I played it!
