In honour of their album cover, The Mercy Arms decided white tights and tunics were the apparel of choice this tour and Toxikon got an eyeful as she darted around the stage at crotch level to capture the dishevelled angels for your cross dressing pleasure.

Stewby went to see Jeff Martin’s last solo show at the Fly By Night and now joins those who have been to another of his last solo shows in thinking that he can have another one any time he likes. Here’s the pictures of the night.

The Living End packed a whollop for Rock Princess who banged out a review full of verbs of impact to let you know what you missed out on, and Stuo saw a softer side shooting some classic poses at Metro City in which the band’s love for their fans and music becomes unmistakable.

Not satisfied yet, our Princess counted down the hours to Rocket Science the next night where she met up with Williamb taking shots from the sidelines. and forming her own opinion on how difficult their music really is.

In another week where the opposites gravitated to either end, Judas Priest ensured that the heavenly hosts of mercy were left on the other side of the weekend and goatlady danced herself lame on the highway to hell to bring you this story. Photographer extraordinaire TheRoute777 made the ultimate rock sacrifice in order to go out with one last hurrah, bringing us this final gallery before he retires his bleeding, ringing, rock damaged ears to the relative silence of Japanese gardens.

It’s a shorty this week, because your fasterlouder crew are resting their trigger fingers and scanning their thesaurii in preparation for the coming festival season…

Speaking of which… Go and vote for your favourite festival now!
