Kid Sam @ The Northcote Social Club, Melbourne (02/04/2010)

My 50th post, and what better band to have in the spot than Melbourne's Kid Sam! The pair put on a great show - read my review at the Dwarf here.

We're Mostly Made of Water:

Old Crow Medicine Show, Jordie Lane @ The Thornbury Theatre, Melbourne (31/03/2010)

Even if the venue did look like it should host year 12 formals, the Old Crow Medicine Show fitted right in! Bluegrass, Americana, whatever you want to call it, these guys are bloody good fun live. And the great Jordie Lane supported solo!

Read all about it at the Dwarf here.

Vids! (in order of appearance)

Orb Weaver

So this might not be Roy himself, but its still pretty cool - seen here building a web. I love these spiders, they're everywhere around the house here.

Brand New @ The Palace Theatre, Melbourne (28/03/2010)

New York's Brand New put on a ripper show at the Palace. Read all about it at FasterLouder here!

One video from the night, You Won't Know (it goes dark, blurry, focussed, blurry, focussed... that's all thanks to the super manic lighting... hooray!)

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros @ The Corner, Melbourne (27/03/2010)

Wow, talk about a FUN gig! Read all about the crazy hippy cult here at FasterLouder.

This is the encore of the evening, Brother, performed to a seated crowd... Yes, Alex Ebert got people to sit on that amazingly sticky floor. I think he said, "if you all sit on one another's laps, no one will have to sit on the floor"...



...it's the magical mystery kind...

Angus & Julia Stone @ The Palace, Melbourne (26/03/2010)

Haven't reviewed a gig in a while, so this was a good one to break the drought! Read all about it on FasterLouder here.

Angus & Julia Stone put on a great show, which included heaps of new material. None of that here though - a coupla clips...

Just A Boy - first song of the encore:


And their cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams (feat. Boy and Bear - all those extra people on stage):


...go on and on and on and on...
