Now, I love photographing bands, and I've done a couple here and there... And whilst there were the odd contract / agreement in the UK over the few years I shot there, there was nothing, ever, like there is here in Australia...
Big Day Out, they're holding (I think the winners have already been announced) a competition for something or other, you have to send images in... So, this isn't going to the BDO and shooting, it's just a competition, but run your cold grey eye balls over this little gem;

I don't know where this all started...
I understand people need to make money...
So do photographers...
Might be a little research project for me, then...
