Caves with Doe, Shit Present, and Personal Best @ The Moon Club Cardiff by Chris Chucas

May is a crazy, crazy month with super, amazing weather, torrential rain and more great live punk rock shows than you can shake a stick at. I went along to @DIYCDF's show held at the moon to see Caves. In support where Personal Best, Doe, and Shit Present. All were great but I had to miss Personal Best and Doe's sets as I was commissioned by Clwb Ifor Bach (Welsh Club) to shoot some images for a show over there. I made it back over in time for Caves (something I made sure of from the beginning). I dare not miss them after missing them in Manchester and Deadpunk. Such a good night and I was super stoked to sing along to one of my favourite bands with good company.  I got a live video of Shit Present and Caves.

I'm hoping to get a lot more interviews done with various bands promoters and record labels over the next few months. If you are keen member of the punk rock community, please share and tell people about the blog, as it's a great way for people to have a look at some images and videos of shows they might have missed.  But also I'm hoping that it'll showcase a little bit about the reason behind me making the documentary film and my intentions. I want to document the scene and show off the people that work hard to put on shows, play in bands, record and pretty much show huge amounts of support to other humans. It's a great space and I need your help to get it made. So even if it's sharing a post on fb or getting in touch, if you're a label or band please get involved. It really makes being poor, lugging around really expensive gear and sleeping like 5 hours a day worth it when someone appreciates your efforts.
