On This Day 6th September 2012.

Two men performing on stage as part of a rock band. On the left is a man wearing a black knitted hat over short dark hair, with a grey t-shirt with black piping and an "NYPD" logo, and playing a green and white bass guitar. On the right is a man with short dark hair, wearing a white t-shirt with an indistinct black logo, and playing a brown and white electric guitar. Both are singing into microphones mounted on stands in front of them. Behind them, in the middle of he frame, is a drumkit, with the drummer barely visible, apart from a blue and white truckers cap. Brown posters with a red seal and with grey text "The Bop" cover most of the black walls in the background.

Photo of the Day 5th September 2025.

4 members of a band performing on a stage. On the left is a man with short dark hair, wearing a mauve t-shirt with white logo and blue sleeves, and a blue pair of jeans, playing a black and white electric guitar. In the middle is a man with short but floppy blond hair and a straggly beard, wearing a green t-shirt with a circular white logo, and blue jeans, playing a black bass guitar. Behind him is a man sitting behind a drum kit - about all that can be seen of him is his left arm, and his blue denim-clad left leg. On the right is a man with short blond hair, arranged into a red spike in the middle of his head, wearing a black t-shirt with lines and seemingly random words, and a dark pair of trousers, playing a powder-blue electric guitar. The 3 men at the front have microphones on stands in front of them. Black walls fill the background, with yellow curtains with circular black logos on either side.

A man with dark, curly hair, wearing a white shirt and faded blue jeans, and playing a brown and white electric guitar, while facing the right of the frame. A white drumkit is on the right of the frame behind him, under a black sign on the wall, with only the letters "EWEI" and "ECOR" visible, under a bright yellowish light. Black walls and ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

Photo of the Day 30th August 2025.

A rather dark and gloomy (and probably over-processed) photo of the 4 members of a band performing on stage. On the left is a man with a shaven head, a black t-shirt with a white logo, and dark trousers, playing an electric guitar. In the middle is a man with short dark hair, wearing a grey t-shirt and black trousers, and playing a bass guitar. Behind him is a man with short dark hair, wearing a white t-shirt, and sitting behind a drum kit. On the right is a man with short dark hair, wearing glasses, and a dark t-shirt and trousers, looking down at the bank of keyboards he is playing. A thick black pole dominates the foreground, slightly off to the right of centre, with some sheets of white paper taped to it, with only the word "Oceansize" discernible at the top. A row of grey monitor speakers line the front of the stage. Black walls and a grey ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

On This Day 29th August 2000.

Close-up of the head and shoulders of a man with short, greying hair, wearing a black cap with a multi-coloured, multi-patterned strip of cloth tied around it, surmounted by a red badge with an image of Einstein, and the words "Einstein is relatively great". He is wearing a blue jumper over a blue and white striped shirt, and has a blue and orange bit of cloth draped over his shoulders, with white symbols that could well be an inverted Eye of Horus. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and the top of a wooden railing is right at the bottom of the frame. The wall behind him is a sort of burnt orange, with red inside around a window made up of fairly small glass bricks.

Photo of the Day 27th August 2025.

A man with short dark hair and beard, wearing a white shirt with broad red and blue vertical stripes over a grey t-shirt, and a blue pair of jeans, playing a red electric guitar, and screaming into a microphone on a stand in front of him. A long exposure, combined with his movement and the stage lights has resulted in some blurring of the image, with explosions of white light around him, reflecting off his guitar and face.

Photo of the Day 26th August 2025.

A man with a long, spiky but slightly wilting brown mohawk hairstyle, wearing a grey hoodie with some indecipherable blue text on the front, and a black pair of trousers. He is holding a saxophone up to an inverted microphone on a stand in front of him, and is opening his mouth to take a breath before playing it. A bright light is shining down on his right hand and shoulder. Black walls and ceiling fill the background, with a slightly illuminated heating vent right behind his head.

Photo of the Day 24th August 2025.

Close-up of the head of a woman facing to the right, singing in to a microphone on a stand right in front of her mouth. She has short, dark hair cut in a bob, and is wearing a dark top. Stage lights give her face a purple cast. A long exposure with a snap zoom results in this closeup of her face, but also a shot of her playing a creamy yellow guitar, with someone behind her playing a bass guitar in front of a bright light.

Sandbox Saturday 23rd August 2025.

A man with short dark hair and beard, wearing a green t-shirt and a grey pair of cargo pants, playing a bright green 5-stringed bass guitar. His right wrist is covered in an array of beaded bracelet, while his right forearm has a tattoo of a red love heart with a large knife through it. His left forearm has a black tattoo which is partially hidden behind the neck of the bass. He is slightly hunched over, looking down at his left hand. In the background, an orange pole fills the right of the frame, glistening wetly, with a visceral, organic appearance, with black walls and ceiling filling the rest of the frame.

A low shot of a man with a shaved head and a short goatee beard, wearing a black vest top that exposes his heavily tattooed arms, and a blue pair of trousers, performing on stage as part of a rock band. He is holding a microphone in his right hand, the index finger on that hand pointing upwards as he stares into the distance. A large, grey cloth-covered stage speaker is at the side of the stage off to his right, while black walls and ceiling fill the background.

Photo of the Day 19th August 2025.

4 members of a heavy metal band on stage. On the left, at the back, is a man with long blond hair wearing a dark shirt and playing a black electric guitar, his head bent downwards. In the middle, at the front of the stage, is a man with long dark hair with a moustache and the beginnings of a beard, his bare chest covered with tattoos, and wearing a dirty pair of blue jean, holding a microphone in his right hand, his arms stretched out to the side in supplication. In the middle, towards the back of the stage, is a man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless black shirt, and holding the neck of a bass guitar in his left hand, his right hand holding a can, pouring it's contents down his raised throat. On the right is a man with long dark hair and a wispy beard, wearing a red and black checked jacket, playing a black electric guitar and staring across to the left of the frame. The left and right sides of the stage are lit blue by the stage lights, with most of it flooded with green light, and heavily over-exposed white lights mostly pointing in the general direction of down. In the foreground, the backs of the audiences heads can be seen, various band hoodies or checked shirts being common forms of attire.
