Disclaimer: I'm not gonna go through all the details of my life so far to date because I can't be fucked and I'm sure it'll all come out eventually. I'm just going to start this blog as if it's been going forever.
And thus already I have nothing to write.
I'm hungover. Went to Come Together 2009 yesterday at Luna Park.
-Datarock was fantastic - a really tight set that fed off the largely under-age crowd. Audience participation during a minimalist 'Computer Camp Love' was a fantastic; something about ageing sweaty Norwegian men in matching red tracksuits screaming what is usually a keyboard solo I find strangely attractive and it makes me a little uncomfortable.
- Dukes of Windsor on the other hand were a bit of a let down - there was a vague pub-band vibe that got boring fast. I don't think it helped either that most of the audience probably thought they were covering TV Rock. The frontman's obvious vocal abilities lived up to expectations but to put it simply they just seemed a bit tired.
- Midnight Juggernauts played their songs well. There's not much more to say but obviously it went off.
- Art vs Science, everyday heroes of the Shire teenager, played their usual energetic fare, but there's something slightly disconcerting about them; maybe a little too energetic. I get the sense sometimes that they're almost carictures of themselves - it's like bubblegum electro that's so sweet it's almost bitter again, but not quite.
Wow, this just turned into a music review blog rather quick, no?
Highlight of the day: finding a half-full goon sack beneath the our bridge and walking round Milsons Point in search of a pie slowly getting more and more hammered with the illuminated shells of the House reflecting on the harbour waters in the background.
