Boomgates are great though occasionally the ties back to the members other bands is a bit strong. Super Wild Horses I enjoyed when I let the mid set change happen and just enjoyed the second half for it's own sake.
but per purpose were the standout of the night. Someone suggested that they tore a new hole in the universe the night before at The Step Inn and they went pretty close at Woodland the next night.

A Long Weekend in Melbourne
Training day in Melbourne on a Friday so we look up the listings for something to do.
Festival Hall
I decide to kick off with a bit of Soundwave that I missed in Brisbane so Thursday night arrive Melbourne Airport, race to Festival Hall, Tascam in pants cause i have been warned about pat downs, no pat downs [note to self, if trousering stuff, jockeys work better than boxers] pick up Tascam from floor, crush glasses with other foot. So far, so good.
God but Festival Hall has shit house sound. Monster Magnet then Murderdolls then stuff this for a game of soldiers Rob Zombie can't be any better [or worse] than Murderdolls. I am now over men in dress-ups and edgy makeup singing about the devil an shit and thanking us for coming along tonight an' here's a song about dead things i have crafted just for you thanks again. What is it about American satanists that they insist on being polite to their victims. Probably should have gone to see the Bronx. So early to bed cause work tomorrow
Monster Magnet - Live @ Festival Hall - 03 Mar 3011
Murderdolls - Live @ Festival Hall - 03 Mar 3011
The Old Bar
And wasn't that bit fun. Accountants are boring and so to alleviate the boring I go to the Old Bar and on the way run into Paul from MOTO who is also at the corner asking directions and he's old like me so it's easy to strike up a conversation about getting lost. We see Mere Women from sydney and they are nice, then Paul MOTO with a Spazzy drummer and an Onya bassist and they are fun then Kamakasi Trio and they rock then Kretch who are pretty good value and who are big shaven headed Croations as are half their audience and don't even ask about the men god i hope i got that right and they aren't armenian or something. Anyway they are punks who offer to be available for anal sex after the show but i have to leave early to get the last tram back to the city, eat a pizza and bottle of wine then bed. It's all in the timetable.

MOTO - Live @ The Old Bar - 04 Mar 2011
Kamikazi Trio - Live @ The Old Bar - 04 Mar 2011
Kretch - Live @ The Old Bar - 04 Mar 2011
The Tote
Do stuff the next day then off to The Tote [I had imagined something bigger and a drones show would be something else in there] for Mortimer no ... wait, Montero who comprise two Crayons, the singer from Treetops named Montero believe it or not and some others i don't immediately recognize and who i enjoy but my daughter doesn't. Then Scott & Charlene's wedding who seriously kick pop arse. Across the road for a curry at the singapore curry shop which is really good and i'm pretty sure link meanie was there at a birthday party. Back for Super Wild Horses and i'm going out on a limb here and will make enemies but why do they change the whole dynamic of the set by getting the drummer up to play one note lines and sing while the guitarist who can sort of drum does her best to make it interesting. Sorry Super Wild Horses. Sunny & The Sunsets are playing Primavera in May did i mention i am going to primavera again and i'm pretty tired so i went back to the hotel. There was some wine left.

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.

Golden Plains 2010
i was hoping it hailed sunday night. my hire car wasn't covered for hail so we left after dirty projectors. missed calexico and cruel sea. the rest for me was like this
royal headache - not too bad would look for again.
lou barlow solo set at inspiration point. - pretty damn good but windy and why the fuck do people come all the way over from the main stage to stand down the back and talk. the recording is full of crowd noise and wind oh so much wind noise. if i can clean it up i'll post it at a later date.
monotonix - jesus my arms are still aching. was near front to start with. band started on platforms on crowd side of barrier a la lightning bolt. after 1st song band decided to move drum kit off platform into crowd and i find myself standing in front of him holding back the red sea. mics did not pop out of ears so set is basically me going ah fuck what the fuck jesus fuck fuck off etc while singer, guitarist, and eventually drummer surf above our heads. plug finally pulled before someone gets killed. was extreme fun. never want to do that again. i have no idea what they sound like.
the big pink - pretty good but anticlimactic after monotonix
antibalas afrobreat orchestra - upbeat afrobeat but strangely dis-engaged/un-engaging. known anti taping so i can't post sorry. someone else might though.
pavement - rough round the edges but magic soon enough
dinosaur jr. not as loud as i expected but clear as hell. really really good.
super wild horses. sound a little unbalanced but they get into it. crowd enjoys it for a wake up set
jack ladder - was back at camp packing tent in short dry sunny period. campers next door ask what the fuck is that noise. probably a bad time for their style.
jeffrey lewis & the junkyard - good fun
wooden shjips - fucking brilliant. crowd favourites. got the shoes up big time.
space invadas - pretty average UK soul band.
nashville pussy - absolute fun.
dirty projectors - really disappointing. 6 charlies in search of a tune. some enjoyed them but most people were very 'mehh'
did not tape space invadas, dirty projectors, jack ladder
