A Secret In The Shape Of A Song

A slideshow of photographs taken during the rehearsals and Saturday night performance of the Festival of Sydney show A Secret In The Shape Of A Song. The three-hour-long show was presented at the Metro Theatre in Sydney, Australia, in January 2008 by the Triffids in memory of their deceased singer and songwriter David McComb (1962-99). Guests included the Blackeyed Susans, Steve Kilbey, Mick Harvey, Mark Snarski, Melanie Oxley and Youth Group. All photographs are copyright Justin Barrington-Higgs. The song, This One Eats Souls, was written by David McComb and Phil Kakulas. The version used in the slideshow is from the Blackeyed Susans' 1993 album All Souls Alive.
