Warped were an awesome live band, only seen Osterberg once and thought they were ok, but no Warped. Malkmus & Fauves are all good, Datsuns first album was pretty cool.

'tis the Ig's real name.

'tis the Ig's real name.

I knew that, also a band with Lightning Boy Ben Watkins from Warped, but then you probably knew that too

That's about the last time I had any real connection with live music, now that I'm a mountain dwelling family man, I don't get out much to the few sticky carpet pubs left.

Harem Scarem (how did they never become the best band in Australia?)are coming up at the Corner at the end of March. Picked up my ticket on saturday and got the reissued CD of 'Pilgrims Progress' today. I'm a very, very happy man.

When is this on Carl?
I'm interested.
