Today i'm going to blog about a band who i did photography for on Sundayin Dundee, Well i was booked to take photos for the band before them a band called Kings And Cowards and The Arcadian Kicks also wanted photos done while they were playing.
I saw this as a great thing for me as when i grow up i want to become a photographer and i love Live band photography
There called The Arcadian Kicks, there a small UK band who have just recornded there debut album with a guy called Mike Chapman.
all you kids out there who don't know who Mike Chapman he was the guy who produced breakthrough albums for Blondie and The Knack, He is an Australian born record producer and songwriter who was a major force in the British pop music industry in the 1970s
The Arcadian Kicks were on BBC news on the 24th of March 2010 due to Mike Chapman finding there music on myspace and thought they were the real deal
"Shows that a little website can get you anywere"

this band are not going to fade away
so yeah give them a wee listen.
This sounds very interesting Liam, but where were you photographing them and for what purpose?
ReplyDeleteAlbum art work or publicity shots?
Expand on the notion that Chapman discovered them on the web...and how he and Nicky Chinn wrote stacks of hits for Suzi Quatro, Mud, Sweet and other glam poppers almost forty years ago.
What is the secret of his longevity in the fickle music business?
You are scraping the surface of a potentially interesting tale to tell.
