Blur drummer Dave Rowntree releases his debut book of photography: 'No One You Know: Dave Rowntree’s Early Blur Photos’. The 200+ page hardback book is a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the earliest years of Blur from a man who saw it all, heard it all, and lived out every moment of it. The book captures the excitement of a young band in their infancy, becoming a global concern. No pressures, no expectations, just four men having the time of their lives as the road opens out before them, all seen behind the eyes of their drummer, and the lens of his Olympus OM-10.
Dave Rowntree: “The pictures I took are of a band right at the start of their career. They’re of what we did between the gigs, interviews and photo sessions. They are of us hanging out, relaxing, travelling, eating, and especially in the early days, drinking. They are snapshots of what life in Blur was really like in the first few years when the TV cameras and tape recorders were turned off.
Dave will be signing copies of the book at the Valley Event Space from 10:30AM-12:30PM on Thursday, September 4.
Copies of 'No One You Know: Dave Rowntree’s Early Blur Photos’ will be available for purchase at the signing for AUD$84.99.
