Moon Duo then Tiger Choir and Secret Birds

Moon Duo were a lot of fun. Halfway through I realized the guitarist was from Wooden Shjips. This is the level of knowledge I take into the room sometimes. Often I go to see bands on the strength of recommendations and usually if I haven't heard the band I won't listen to them before the show. I am seldom disappointed. I certainly wasn't this night.

Before The Drones I went to Stranded At The Drive In #1 at The Waiting Room

Silver Screens are from Toowoomba I think. I saw them once before but their equipment failed after 10 minutes. Pleasant enough music but it doesn't really go anywhere.

Two Nights At The Bridge Club

Upstairs at the Irish Club. Primitive Motion helped clean up the recording of their set after equipment failure on stage in the first minute screwed up the sequence. Thanks Sandra.

First time I have seen Nova Scotia since Nathan left town. Lots more space for the music to shine through.

This video is taken on my N8 on the Low Light setting and the effect is dreamy which suits Mono well. Occasional clipping but the sound is not too bad. Use headphones for best effect.

Simone Felice

Solo show for the Brisbane Festival. Songs, book readings, thoroughly engaging evening.

Hugo Race

Must have been 30 people there. Such a shame because Hugo played for over an hour and the time flew.

Dreamtime Launch

Not content with 7 nights of loud heavy stuff I backed up the next night for Dreamtime and their psychedelic dream pop. Supported by The Rational Academy warming up for their upcoming tour of Japan, and Secret Birds.

All this and I actually got stuff done at work. Pretty much a perfect week.
