Now Holly Martin, an interesting dichotomy. I am confused.
Great voice and she can sing too. I like Holly very much. Inside the Chai Temple, I took some more shots - but it is very hard to get good pictures in a red light. I also liked her rather kinky looking band. Holly at Christmas, can't beat that.
There is nothing rigor mortis about Dead Letter Chorus.
Gabrielle Huber has an endearing quality that makes you want to stop and listen. I stopped, I listened and took some photos ...
The Chemist was a stimulating band ...an animated group with plenty of body chucks around the set ..
As for music, well everone seemed to like this Melbourne mob and with reason - they are loud and entertaining alright. Alright.
Another Canadian - is there anyone left up there - Dan Mangan thinks that Australian audiences are weird, as we are the only crowd who want to dance to his music. Yeah, well we know a good stomping song when we hear one.
These guys are good, really enjoyed their music. Very polished, deserved a bigger audience.
I thouht Che Guevara got shot in Bolivia, but no, he's here in Peats Ridge, playing bass with Dan Mangan and a great bass player he be too.
Ben Riley and Jordan Wilson make up the original members of Georgia Fair.
Likened to The Beautiful Girls, these guys are on the move I guess. I thought they were great.
Jason Collett comes with some big tickets {Broken Social Scene - is that right ?} from back home in Canada ... and pretty hunky dory Down Under too ...
.. there is no doubt that his backing band in Australia, Zeus, is a great outfit ... talented musicians, fair dinkum.
Jason comes with a big reputation from Toronto. He's a pretty nice, laidback bloke - well, he's Canadian and they are much like us - and his band is terrific, all seem to be able and willing to muck in and use different instruments and take on alternative roles. Great entertainment - challenging before a Sydney audience on a very hot afternoon. I'd go an see him again for sure.
... and now, just when we thought all the Indians were beaten ... Evan and the Brave ..
Daniel Mifsud has built a strong line up of musicians, playing a sort of country and blues based eclectic set ... very professional. Get up, get out, go and see them. You'll be so glad you did.
