The concert and gig thread

Risky time of year for an outdoor concert in Melbourne. Could be ■■■■■■■ down.

Play a Test in Sydney.
Problem solved.

I passed this song over to a good mate who sings in a band called A Prcoess of back in 2003 and he’s going to see them this month.

As someone who lost a sibling very young and has always had the thought of death plague them, the lyrical content and accompanying melodies of this song are magnificent

Went back and had a good listen to their entire back catalogue recently.

Needless to say I like their old stuff better than their new stuff.

Their 1st 2 EP’s and 1st 2 Albums were amazing but they had a pretty sharp fall off after that IMO.

Have some good songs on each album but strange that being Ben & Quan could write as incredibly as they can that’s quite a lot of stuff became pretty ■■■■ in comparison.

Such great blokes, was lucky enough to spend some time with them in Brizzy 2 decades ago as their keyboard player lived with friends

Each to their own. I really like the new album as well as some of their older material. Have to say they were great onstage Sunday night - did not get one complaint out of 350 pax.

Went to the elephant tracks winding up gig last night. 3hr set from all the names you’d expect, Hermitude, herd, earthboy etc. really really good

Aaghh… the Therapy? 30th Anniversary Troublegum shows later this year have been cancelled.

Was looking forward to the tour. It’s been a long time since I’ve either seen Therapy? or been to a gig at the Prince of Wales…

Did they give a reason?

Something about promoter issues (nothing definitive).

I was there Friday. What a blast!
It was pretty intense down in the pit - we were up front on the railing.
Woke up a bit bumped and bruised yesterday, but worth it
Yeah Hup!
Radio Birdman are f*cking legends.

Love the way Rob Younger just grooves away.

Big guitars & big drums, what’s not to like

Not enough people looking forward to it i presume?

Great album, i probably woukd have gone but might have been away ao hadn’t dealt on tickets yet

Yeah, it’s an interesting one. The release of tickets for the Aus shows was delayed for quite some time after other Asian/Oceania shows had gone on-sale, so I wonder if that was early signs of promoter issues. It didn’t appear to me that they’d booked venues which were too large for them. I mean, I don’t know the interstate venues especially well, but I’d have thought they’d fill the Prince of Wales reasonably easily (especially off the back of Troublegum which is really the only album they’re known for here).
