London Cafe Oto

So in London I looked round for things to see and found Cafe OT. Great venue. Brisbane needs one. First night I saw Mathew Sawyer support Ryan Driver. Also an acapella [almost] singer Animateddog Nathaniel Robin Mann [that's what it said] whose recording I am still picking apart. I have worked out that I'm not that good at recording quiet stuff. The background sounds are too loud for the mics I use.

Two nights later back for Damo Suzuki who I missed in Barcelona. Support were the fabulous Sobameshi & Porno who I later discover are half of Bo Ningen who I now wish to see. Also supporting was guitarist Keiichi Miyashita’s MANDOG featuring drummer E-Da of Drum Eyes/Seefeel and one other guitar. After two support sets all appeared on stage with Damo Suzuki as his backing.

Sobameshi & Porno were absolutely great and I hope the recording does them justice.

The Grates at The Hi-Fi

Quite liked Big Scary. Less so Guinea Fowl. The Grates are now a rock band and I love it. Beefier. The sound is different but still the Grates. Patience's voice takes a couple of songs to get on track but it gets there. The new material flows well in the set. Welcome back.

Splendour In The Grass 2011

Didn't camp this year but visited each day to pick the eyes out of the lineup. Saw Pulp again [that man is so good] but I was up the hill so I didn't record. Regina Spektor is stil being de-clapped and de-commented. Terrible crowd noise.

Boris and Russian Circles at ULU 19 June 2011

London ULU and for the Russian Circles I had the levels set for Tenniscoats who are way softer. Realized this about half way through. Thus, the second half only. To make up for that I include the Tym Guitar In Store by Russian Circles last month and video of Boris.
