Sunday night and I should be in bed getting ready for work. But hell, really loud heavy noise is on offer. Except for Lichens who has to be heard to be believed. Om were not as Psych as I thought they would be and were almost trancelike in places. Really good show from all of the acts
No Anchor - Live @ The Hi-Fi - 18 Jul 2010

Lichens - Live @ The Hi-Fi - 18 Jul 2010

Then on Monday night after 4 nights in a row I fell over before Lichens began but did get Andrews, MacManus, & Stern and a very distorted 'look ma, no instruments' set from Die On Planes.

Can I Get More Rock In My Foldback
Actually, No, I don't think you can.
With this Brisbane set Violent Soho finished their short Australian tour before taking off back to the US for Lolopalooza and a few other shows. They could not have gotten any tighter than when they left for the US last year but the experience of months solid touring combined with a backline** provided by Tym's Guitars gave them a whole new dynamic. They were frighteningly good. So I have it here for you now. The supports I got [part of the Butcher Birds and Scul Hazzards] will go up later.
So grab it, headphones on, turn it up and go.

**As Tym said
"My good friends were playing a sold out show upstairs from my shop in Ann st, Fortitude valley in Saturday night so we decided the only way to go was to set up a full backline of Tym speaker cabs.
We had 7 guitar 2x12's, 2 bass 4x10's, the 6x10 and the full Lemon 120W with matching 4x12 cab on stage with a silverface Bassman 100, a Mesa Boogie Mk III, a Marshall JCM800, a Marshall JCM 900 and an Ampeg SVT1000 .......... ALL RUNNING.
The sound was incredible , really. "

Bursting With Super Wild Goodness
Friday and Saturday night were bigger than big at Burst City and The Hanger. I am now convinced that the top five bands in Brisbane are Blank Realm, Loomer, Kitchen's Floor, No Anchor, and yeah, your band.
So on Friday night at Burst City we saw
The Seizures - Live @ Burst City - 16 Jul 2010
The Sips - Live @ Burst City - 16 Jul 2010
Southern Comfort - Live @ Burst City - 16 Jul 2010
Blank Realm - Live @ Burst City - 16 Jul 2010
Best sets I have seen from The Sips and Blank Realm. The Seizures are promising. Southern Comfort were better tomorrow night and while the start of songs was a bit slow they usually got into a nice groove by the end.
On Saturday night at The Hanger we got
Kitchen's Floor - Live @ The Hanger - 17 Jul 2010
Loomer - Live @ The Hanger - 17 Jul 2010
Southern Comfort - Live @ The Hanger - 17 Jul 2010
Super Wild Horses - Live @ The Hanger - 17 Jul 2010
Super Wild Horses play snappy tight tunes, look fabulous and if there is any justice they be a big thing.
Sunday and Monday nights were rather more brutal as you will see. And no I'm not happy with the headline either.

Happy Birthday X & Y Bar
I like the X & Y Bar but then I'll like any place that supports local music but it helps that the sound is OK, the beer is cold and the A/C works.
I missed the Thursday night show with Sulphur Lights, Birds of a Feather, and Otto's new band Grateful Beasts who apparently were very good.
Did get there on Friday night for sets by Seja and Dave McCormack.
Seja - Live @ X&Y Bar - 09 July 2010

And on Saturday night Phil Smith & The Lights supported Dan Kelly & His Dream Band

House Party
at Latrobe Tce.
First up a solo set from Glenn Schnau, of Per Purpose and Kitchen's Floor. I liked this a lot.
Glenn Schnau - Live @ Latrobe Tce - 03 July 2010
A short sharp set from Gutters who reformed for the weekend.
Gutters - Live @ Latrobe Tce - 03 July 2010
Science in a lounge room is really loud and the drum sound is really loud. I'm looking forward to recording them in friendlier surroundings.
Science - Live @ Latrobe Tce - 03 July 2010
Conwae of/is Extra Foxx and his material is pretty good solo or with backing. It sounds simple but it isn't. Well maybe it is, whatever. Lots of audience interaction. We all had a real good time.
Conwae Burrell - Live @ Latrobe Tce - 03 July 2010
