Long term readers here will remember the post I made a long time ago on my blog's previous incarnatio on Piczo when I was 17 in 2010, about my first meeting with the one and only Voltaire during his epic beard stage, who remains to this day my idol and inspiration. Anyway, I didn't have a camera that day so I didn't manage to get any photos.
BUT, recently I did find this little gem of a photo... (I know it's super derpy, but I probably wasn't even aware I was being photographed until afterwards!) It was in a small Alternative Melbourne shop called Peril Underground and was a day time underage show, since at that stage I was too young to go to bars...

This was taken by Gerard Meehan, the Editior in Chief of Fiend Magazine, and has been with Voltaire on all of his Australian tours (which I have been to all of so far...) and I'm assuming he also works as a tour manager or something. I'm just speculating here mind you...
Anyway, I presently getting my brain organised for an exciting make up series for this blog. Details will be soon! XD
It's so exciting to get to meet your musical idols, isn't it? I am so excited that I met Abney Park and Unwoman, and I saw Amanda Palmer play, but I really want to meet her and Neil in real life!
ReplyDeleteIt is fantastic, especially when they make the effort to make their fans eel appreciated.
DeleteLucky~~ I'd love to meet Voltaire. Sadly couldn't go to the most recent show since my wallet with ID got stolen and without it people think I'm a kid >_<
ReplyDeleteNext year, then! =P
DeleteI love Voltaire! It's so great that you got to meet him!
ReplyDeleteI've met him three times, and each has been equally amazing! =D
