Tame Impala

Everyone has a massive boner for these guys right now. I really enjoy what i've heard thus far. There amps sound like they are encased in foam and I can envisage a plume of purple smoke in the sky when these guys smash up the summer festival circuit.


This is a video someone on yourtube made for 'skeleton tiger'

these are the lyrics to desire be desire go this summers anthem.


Feel it come
I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me


Everyday
Back and forth
What's it for?
I don't know
I'll get out
won't have to


Feel it come
I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me
I'll let desire be
desire go

Dare I face the real world

Everyday
Back and forth
What's it for?
What's it for?
Back and forth
Everyday

Everyday
Back and forth
What's it for?
I don't know
I'll get out
won't have to

Check my watch

I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side
Why I ever tried
I don't know.

Little Red

I love these guys.

The Drones, Kim Salmon and the Surrealists@ The Forum

I arrived at the forum to watch the drones a little late and missed openers 'kes band' which was disappointing considering the favourable reviews i'd heard about them. With that slight hiccup out of the way I settled in to enjoy Kim Salmon(the scientists)and the surrealists playing one of the few shows they've played since they reformed with a new line-up. The Music was intense and had a trance like feel to it with the repetitive beats and droning guitars on relay. You can also see how kim influences Gaz from the drones slightly with barked lyrics thrown out in a thick aussie accent.
The Drones then entered the stage and played songs from here come the lies, havilah, wait long... and gala mill. Early on it was havilah centric until they broke out into a feedback driven version of 'six ways to sunday'. Highlights of the set for me were set closer 'shark fin blues', the crowd joining in on havilah track 'oh my's chorus and encore opener 'locust'. Yeah the drones killed it, they pretty much are the best band in australia or the bes australian band. Its so good to go to a show and listen to an australian accent and someone who just naturally moves to the enrgy of the music. No mock british or faux yank slurring just a bloke having a sing. peace in the middle east. we out!

The Grates, The Vasco Era, The John Steel Singers

Last Night I went to the peninsula lounge and witnessed 3 awesomely different bands. First was The john steel singers who remind me of sgt pepper era beatles, as a six piece they were the most interesting band of the night playing tracks from mini lp(The beagle and the dove) and upcoming e.p(in colour).
The next band on were the vasco era who i've managed to see shitloads of times through circumstance at first and then through actual want. They always put on a lively set and they once again managed to entertain the rowdy punters with a solid set of songs from 'miles' and 'oh we do like to be beside the sea'. I'm not 100% sure but it sounded like they had 2 or so new songs with backing vocals from lanky bassist Ted. I enjoyed these songs the most as well as a heartfelt acoustic cover of 'sukafish' by Sid.
The Grates were awesome, i'll be honest i didn't watch the whole set cause i couldnt be bothered enduring tall dudes shimmying in front of me but i saw a good third of the set and managed to see the end of a brawl that broke out. Patience is a born entertainer and makes daggy dancing look like break dancing.

im going to review the beagle and the dove tomorrow or some time. its fucking schweet. peace y'all
