Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Be like me, stand at the forty five, 10-15 metres out. Always good viewing and plenty of room. It's my go to gig plan and has never let me down.

Also, that wasn't a show it was an experience. Can I get a hallelujah?

Sage advice. Was with a large-ish group so kind of went with the flow.

Painters and Dockers doing a show in St Kilda on 11th November to coincide Paul Stewart's book launch. Should be a fun night

Saw them last year when they were supporting the Sunnyboys, to say the P&D's were disappointing would be a huge understatement.

That might be the most blasphemous post I've seen on WOOF. I almost didn't quote it but it didn't make any sense without it.

Twodogs will be coming off the long run for this Yarraville nets session.

Nah. I'm at the "cunning drifters off the short run" stage of life. Maybe with the occasional round armer.

Bit of 90’s nostalgia, went and saw The Clouds at the Croxton last night. Ostensibly a 30th anniversary of the Penny Century album, they played all the “near misses” as they referred to them.
Really good gig slightly marred by some sound mix issues. As expected the vocals were very front in the mix but sometimes to the detriment of the instruments, with the drums and lead guitar getting lost at points. Jodi and Trish can still belt out the tunes though.

Special mention to the support Fleeting Persuasion. Enjoyable set of music with a 80’s/90’s Manchester x Shoegaze sort of vibe. Excellent drummer too, playing with his hi-hats very very hi.

Went to "Good Things" festival last weekend, and am off to The Offspring on Thursday night this week.

Good Things was pretty good. I'm starting to show my age though cause some of the heavier bands were seriously, just too loud!

I saw The Offspring on Wednesday, still put on a good show, played all their hits.

I went last night to watch them at the Rosemont. It was actually....fantastic. Way better than I expected - I figured with all the harmonies not playing together for a while would have meant a messy old night but it was cool.

Just back from the Elton gig at AAMI Park. It was excellent, he and the band were all full of energy irrespective of the heat and put in a full show which was really impressive given their vintage.....

When growing up I heard all sorts of stories about how much of a diva he was live at times, but he didn't phone it in one bit tonight. Excellent stuff.

I was there as well. Other than melting in the heat it was an enjoyable show. Had never seen Elton before, glad I got the chance.

I just saw Angel Olsen, which I only bring up because she referred to a song that came out in 2016 as “an old one”. Someone should let the playing group know.

Apparently I can't like your post, but *like*

Also, I'm seeing her next week....hopefully. This is the third time I've had tickets to see her, but will be the first time I actually attend

It was seriously so good. There’s just an intimacy and a feel to her shit that no one else has. Kinda wish she would still make a full rock n roll heater from time to time though.

I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve listened to Big Time.

It gets me every time.

Her voice, song writing is beyond words.
