If I tell them to harden up they'll tell me to, Rosy. :hihi

Yeah, the kids are all growed up now. *sob* ;D

Haha I thought that didn't come across as intended. I meant "hard" as in rock..."heavy" up didn't sound quite right either. Think I'd better shut up and go back to my old aging hippy music. :help

Glad you enjoyed, Number Eight. It's not out of the question they'll kick a goal in the next three months. Album cooking. Just need some airplay.

And the hardening up the music is kinda difficult, Rosy. There's a formula for airplay and The End is probs a bit too hard already. No Love Here is meant to be poppy. All the material has been shinied up for radio. Live they are very dark.

Anyways, I'll post back if anything comes of it.

I reckon it's bang on for Airplay. Hints of The Killers, The Smiths, Powderfinger and one of the great bands from Manchester that people don't know about, Elbow.

Got Triple M all over it. But most bands break on Triple J fist then 18 months later the M's pick it up.

Ta, SCOOPer. Still trying to crack the Js. Two lobbyists engaged now to push the barrow. I agree entirely about the path.

Like it Jack. Tight. Assured. Eskimo Joe with less angst, Placebo with more balls. Manic Street Preachers with strut.

Think 'The End' is the better song but they're both good. Best of luck to the lads, they have talent.

RRR were advertising Red Aces single launch today during Biggsy's show.

Every chance to get a good turn out.

Nah, they cancelled the event.

Got a great run there. Shame it didn't turn out.

The docs call it Diverticulitis. I took Sammy (GypsyJazz), the front man, to hospital today with colic. (25 is too young for a gall bladder.) That was the likely diagnosis. He's still in there. So the boys have to start again. Bad news but three mad (madder) new songs coming. And some chance the Js will switch them on Monday week. The End may be some kind of beginning.

Went down to the Tote on Thursday and saw Gary Clark Jr

If ever the AFL finals slogan of 'this is greatness' is to be bestowed upon somebody, this is the guy...
 
Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]

Not a gig but anyway.

Saw The Fellowship of the Ring, accompanied by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra last night. Was quite simply incredible. :hearton Hard to believe it's been 11 years since the film was released. Still stands up as a masterpiece of cinema. And the musical performance was sublime, I don't think I watched any of the film during the Moira/Bridge of Khazad-Dum scenes, was just in awe of the musicians.

They are doing The Two Towers next July. Have already got tickets for that.

Took the better half to see her fav band Matchbox20 last night and they were surprisingly good.
Very tight musically and Rob Thomas did it so easily. Good live performance.
 
Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]

Was there last night as well ToO - a great night! They seemed really relaxed and looked like they enjoyed themselves as well!

Who is the lead singer for INXS these days?
 
Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]

Possibly not in the cool category but my partner and went to Warragul to see Tom Burlinsons new show "Now we're swinging" where he does the American standards of Sinatra, Martin, Davis, Fitzgerald, Buble, Connick, Darin and others.

Irish bloke called Ciaran Gribbin, jb.

Thanks WR, never heard of him. Is his voice similar to MH or does he just sing in his own style?
 
Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]

Wildride said:
I'd say fairly similar - his irish accent aside! Certainly very similar style.

Agree. He was pretty good for karaoke. Didn't like the numbers from the girls though. Decent enough support act obviously.

You're right that M20 seemed very at ease. Much of their music is formula but it's a successful one. Thomas sounded as clear vocally as he does on the album. Excellent singer.
