What an amazing last Birthday weekend!

We had the cameras out in force this weekend, Saturday night was the 19th Birthday show with MYC, The Nation Blue, Kimbo and The Hawaiian Islands. Sunday night, the Revival tour brought us Chuck Ragan (HWM), Frank Turner, Tim Barry (Avail) and Ben Nichols (Lucero) with Jon Gaunt on fiddle and Todd Beene on pedal steel AND special appearances from our Arty local Darren Gibson and Jen Buxton from Like...Alaska.

Saturday nights birthday show was all recorded via the studio upstairs to give us some dynamite sound for the 4 cameras we shot it on. Big thanks to Matt Bodiam for locking himself away in the studio for a lot of the night to keep the recording going. Thanks also to Bec Mercer for the great work behind the camera (and for the actual camera!) and to Matt Weston from the Nation Blue for the camera too, those cameras made all the difference! It was an amazing, sold out night to celebrate another birthday for our favourite place.

On Sunday we filmed a great chat with Tim and Chuck about their experiences at the Arty and the importance a venue like it has on the people involved. It was great to get some outsiders opinions on the place and having some "big names" involved will hopefully come in handy down the track. The show itself was amazing, sing-a-longs galore, all the guys on stage were super stoked about finishing their tour at the Arthouse. Thanks to Tom Jenkins we had another nice camera to shoot with and got plenty of great footage, some Arthouse shout-outs, a duet with Chuck and Gibbo and an amazing song from Jen Buxton.

Check out some screenshots of our Sunday footage!
