Gentle Ben at The X&Y Bar

Gentle Ben supported Dave McCormack. I could not stay for Dave's set but Ben is more than worthy to have his own post.

Dave McCormack Ends It All.

the year I mean.

Little Murders is Dave's new album. Here is the launch show at The Hi-Fi.
Seja started off the night and her beefed up sound [now feat guitar and drums] is great. Unfortunately I was experimenting with equipment and while the first half is OK the second half with the drummer is clipped to hell. I may post part of the show later.

Gentle Ben followed and did his usual thing of making every other man in the room look ugly and uncoordinated. Bastard.

Dave was great. Seriously is there such a thing as a bad Dave McCormack show? Or are some just better than others?

Thank You All
I've had a great year and I'd especially like to thank all the people involved in the shows I did attend. New Year starts tomorrow with Roots Manuva and Jan and Feb are full on.

Thank you all for listening. Music is the best.

Here is Seja's set from the day. The last three songs have some distortion in the drum sounds but are listenable. The songs are good enough to get you through.

Local Produce @ The Hi-Fi Bar

Won a ticket. Yeah! So I went. Probably would have gone anyway. Gentle Ben for those who don't kbnow is a BCorbett from 6fthick. It's all his lurve songs.

Vegas Kings are beaut. Ben from Kings is one of the best guitarists around for my money. And he writes killer songs. If you haven't heard Texas Tea look round for it and see his sensitive side.

The Surreal Sound

Kim Salmon & The Surrealists at The Step Inn

Sometimes it all comes together. Kewpie Doll and Gentle Ben sounded better than I've heard them for a while. I have to say that the Step Inn sound system is working really well these days from where I stand.

The Butcher Birds first gig in Brisbane with the new drummer, Donny, and what he does to the sound is a revelation. A little bit faster so you can't accuse them of plodding anymore, and more drive from behind to fill out the sound rather than just keep the beat. A much more muscular sound. I love it.

Kim Salmon is some kinda genius I swear.
