Gig Photos: Didirri at Hotel Café, Los Angeles (November 2018)

Hey guys!

Whether we attend shows in massive arenas or small venues,
they are always special.

Arena shows stand out because of how energetic it feels to be in a crowd of thousands,
celebrating the same music.
Small venues provide so much intimacy and character,
allowing us to understand the art so well.

Either way, concerts let us dive into the worlds the artists have created,
and that's brilliant.

Our LA based photographer Melissa recently got to dive into the sound world provided by Didirri,
an exciting and excellent artist from Australia.

Date: 20th November 2018
Venue: Hotel Café, Los Angeles (US)

Headliner: Didirri


Didirri is a musician from Melbourne, Australia.

Ever since starting out, Didirri has managed to achieve big things, such as selling out two headline tours in 2017, supporting acts like Tash Sultana, Vance Joy, The Jezabels and The Temper Trap, and he sold out his first ever show in London at Shacklewell Arms.

Besides all of that, the young musician also played Fairgrounds Festival, Grampians Festival, Boogie Fest and NYE On The Hill.

Didirri switches between playing with a full band and playing solo shows. The latter providing a lot of intimacy, while the full band shows hit you with all the depth his music has to offer.

His debut EP, "Measurements", was released in July of 2018 and has convinced music fans all over the world of Didirri's talent.
Whether it's the dreamy "I Can't Get Last Night Out Of My Head" or the historical "Formaldehyde",
these songs quickly became staples for playlist.


Didirri recently played a show at LA's Hotel Café and today we get to share the photos our photographer Melissa took for you.

Whether you've just found out about Didirri or you've been following his music for a while,
we hope you'll get to see him live very soon.




Thank you for your visit!

Gig Photos: Terra Naomi at Hotel Cafe, Los Angeles

Hey guys!

Sometimes the year starts slowly in terms of finding gigs to photograph, but then it can explode any minute and all of a sudden you have three shows within three days.

That was the case for us last week - with LA based Melissa being the first one to kick off 2018 photo wise.
Followed shortly by Gina and then myself, so stay tuned for a gig photo overload. It's going to be fabulous.

We always get very excited when we get invited to cover shows and the first one, aka the one you're about to learn more about, was definitely the right one for us to kick the year off with.

Venue: Hotel Cafe, Los Angeles (US)

Headliner: Terra Naomi


Terra Naomi is a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles (US).

Her sound combines Folk, Indie, Pop and the classic singer/songwriter characteristics.

Her song "Say It's Possible" went viral more than 10 years ago and has allowed Terra to build a loyal fanbase.
The song was written in response to Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" and won the musician the inaugural YouTube Award for Best Music Video.
She was also invited to play Live Earth at Wembley Stadium in 2007, where she played alongside Madonna, John Legend, Foo Fighters and many more.

Her new album, which is due this Summer, was recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Tom Schick and multi-instrumentalist Joe Adamik at Wilco's studio in Chicago.

First single "Machine Age" was released just recently and was written about post-election America and the plea for peace.
The song showcases Terra's political and vulnerable writing skills, as well as her ability to come up with hauntingly beautiful melodies and authentic arrangements.
