love of ear bleeding guitars
After much procrastination i finally got out to see a good ol indie gig in sydney with Mike and new sydney convert dave. The spectrum on oxford st was the venue and Love of Diagrams the act.Firstly the venue, this was all class! sticky floors, weird eclectic decor and bathrooms that surely had seen more coke than a vending machine on central station. The PA was loud.... DID I MENTION IT WAS LOUD... yeh i still have ringing ears! the next time i goto this place its ear plugs compulsory!
Support was pretty crazy, a real melbourne love in, a chick called pikelet, who was like a cross between Joanna Newsom and a 1st year arts student, she was using a loop pedel to create weird live loop soundscapes... very cool, very cute... Following her was a band whos name escapes me... a twee bunch of teens that looked like they were straight out of Neapolitan Dynamite! The guy on keyboards looked like a grown version of the asian keyboard kid from School of Rock!
Anyway after that fun Love of Diagrams hit the stage with a blistering ear splitting set, quite dancable and even a bit poppy in places... they defiantly know how to make sound! I think i will check out there tunes in a few days... once the ireperetable sound damage has evened out....
whats that ringing i hear??

hmm sounds cool! Where was the gig at? I saw some guy called DubFX in melbourne doing alot of loopingscapes, it's a pretty cool medium - he had your pedalboard! Man the buskers in melbourne pretty much get their own concert... round here we'd be told to turn it down... lame...
Not that I've ever busked, bassist reckons that you don't have any elevation over the audience, it's like begging. Pfffttt.
I think the second band were the Crayon Fields. They were so nerdy!
yeah, mike asked em to come along to this, but I had too much on...hopefully next time we'll catch a gig together like them good ol' days.
