Tru-Mould Warehouse Party

Assassins 88(myspace) were the first band up at the Tru-Mould Warehouse Party, and they are a fun party band, very noisy. The drummer in the back, who you can't really see in this pic, has tape on his mouth and was making some very static noisy vocals to great effect.

Outside people were having there BYO drinks and trying out a sausage from the BBQ.

Above Scott and Charlene’s wedding another pop band, but alot slower and complete chance from Assassins. BoomGates finished the gig off, it was way to packed to get a good pick in, as I was pushed up at the band. They are todays rave band, getting some good reviews from their recent Big Day Out performance, with a member of Eddy Current Suppression Ring. They did remind me of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, a little slower, with some female vocals.

Last pic shows the big crowd out the front, many people probably didn't get in, and plenty of the BYO bottles that had been used and tossed away.

Great Band, hard working, multiple instruments changes in the gig that didn't effect the flow, and great harmonica.

Sometimes I forget

Going through my pictures, I found this one, not a great photo, taken back on the 25th of April 2010, at The Old Bar, band unknown.

The Birmingham new band room

Saturday August 14th, The Birmingham, $8
Heavy Yolks, Joseph liddy and the Skeleton horse (QLD), Quoabe (Syd), Marf Loaf (Syd)

Marf Loaf

Quoabe

Joseph Liddy and the Skeleton Horse

The new band room is very cosy, although there there was trouble with the smell and sweat. The aircon was turned on but the window was still fogged up. Maybe this room could be on the nose come summer. However no poll in the middle of the room was great.

Marf Loaf two peice, great voice and excellent guitarist. Quoabe played some Gothic folk rock, guitar I could hear but his voice was a little muffled. Joseph Liddy and the Skeleton Horse, young band, had some loud rocking tunes mixed in with some quieter moments.

Lost Weekend

Last weekend at the Old Bar. Can't remember the name of the band on the top picture, but we were lucky to see a couple of band play at the end of the night.

King Khan at The Corner

Wednesday 2nd of June, $35, $4 pots of Draught.

Woollen Kits

As you can see in the above picture the Corner now has a security fence.

Royal Headache

Last time King Khan came to Australia it was King Khan & the Shrines, which I would assume was bigger than the two piece that was playing tonight. Did enjoy the covers at the start then I got a little bored towards the end. Great to see Melbournians are still packing out wid week gigs.

Kim Salmon & The Surrealists

Kim Salmon & The Surrealists at Cherry, $17 (I think), $5 can of Melbourne Bitter.

Gig Hopping

Several Sundays ago (11/4) some friends and I went for a bit of a gig hop around Fitzroy area, it's a great way to say goodbye to the weekend, band start fairly early and get you out of the house to stop thinking about the coming working week.

James McCann & Jacky Winter

The Old Bar on Tuesday 6th of April, Free

 A lone guitar before James McCann started playing (you can find this picture at redbubble)

James McCann played half a set just instrumental and other half by himself plus his own vocals. His instrumentals are great, painting a picture with the use of a guitar. Play with him for the first half was Rui Pereira, who had an exhibition upstairs and also better known as guitarist in The Drones.

Jeffrey Lewis, Dick Diver and Woollen Kits at Northcote Social Club on the 9th of March 2010
 Didn't catch Woollen Kits, but Dick Diver and Jeffrey Lewis (and band) were great, very refreshing. Luckily no one was sitting down at this gig. I seen some of Jeffrey's work via a Tate Podcast, and was a great mix of music and slide show/performance art, telling stories.
