Garreth Liddiard at The Old Museum

The Old Museum is a great big open space, high ceilings wide but shallow room. Maybe that is why the sound for low volume players like Garreth Liddiard is quite echoey. Even more so when recorded binaurally and played over speakers. To really hear this set you need to use earphones. You certainly need to to hear the banter [and isn't that half of why you go to see this guy?]

Gareth Liddiard

His solo tour kicks off in Brisbane with Ben Salter in support.

Ben's set is occasionally subject to crowd chatter. I'm really considering getting a STFU I'M LISTENING t shirt. Ben is also joined for a couple of songs by his Gin Clubmate Connor MacDonald. I had to leave before the set finished and left the tape run as I went outside rather than cut it off.

Gareth Liddiard {The Drones} as he is continually referred to in the press for this tour was great. Only one new song tonight but with his back catalogue no one complained. Even the crowd shut up. There was a great interview recently with Gareth in The Vine. Can't wait for the new releases from both Gareth and The Drones.

And I'm old enough to know who Blondin was but I wisely kept my mouth shut.
