Kurt Vile & The Violators
Everyone seemed to dislike this set and I’m not really sure why. I loved it. Granted, I was pretty drunk by this stage but even then it was just so relaxed and really suited the amphitheatre. The only thing I can think of is the quiet mix he/they got. At times they seemed to be drowned out by the chatter of the crowd. Luckily though I was near the speaker stack for most of this so you can’t notice it much.
Also, for those with astute hearing you may notice a few changes in this recording. This is because I wasn’t there for the first 4 minutes and because my talking ruined parts of this one. Enter Neeso (who also posts to this blog). He also recorded a few bands on the Friday night and I’ve used his recordings to patch mine up and create the best listening experience I could.
Setlist:
1. Runner Ups
2. Jesus Fever
3. On Tour
4. Freeway
5. Ghost Town

Dat show
19 year old me would have shit his pants over this show. Quebec, THCSTS and Eucalypt!
I have this filmed somewhere in the dark corners of my hard drive
Do want!
Anchorman is nearly ten years old.
and Lord of The Rings - Return of the King is nearly 9.
FUCK I’M GETTING OLDNot really. It’s more like 7.5 years old. Get your facts straight idiot.
December 2003. 8 years 1 month
I was talking about Anchorman not Return of the King. Was merely trying to point out that Anchorman isn’t really close to being 10 years old.
Also, I’m gonna go watch Return of the King. See you in 4 hours or so…

Raein, Loma Prieta, Old Skin & Edison @ The Gasometer (2011-12-29) recordings.
$10 for this lineup. Can’t beat that. Managed to get soundboard recordings of Old Skin, Loma Prieta and Raein. However, Raein’s is pretty horrible so I couldn’t use it. Loma Prieta’s is great so I use it for the whole time it recorded (18 of 28 minutes) and Old Skin I used the whole set for. It was a weird and small venue to record in and I’m pretty happy with the results considering. I wish I’d been able to go on the balcony though…
Edison
Having come from work (and leaving 30 minutes early mind you) I only got there in time to catch the last little bit of Edison. I really enjoyed them… in fact, they ruled. Next time I’ll get the whole set I promise.

Old Skin
Again, these guys ruled. Would happily go out of my way to catch them again. Somehow I managed to spill almost half my beer on my microphones about 3 minutes into their set and spent the whole time worrying if they were broken or not. Turns out they’re fine which is good news; I can’t afford to get a new pair at the moment.

Loma Prieta
These guys ruled. Absolutely ruled. I was pretty stoked to see they’d been added to the lineup less than 24 hours before the event. Thought they were only doing the later 2 shows.
It’s a massive shame that the vocals were nonexistant for almost all of the set. This recording does it huge justice though because I was plugged into the soundboard and there was a still a feed coming through there (for the first 18 minutes at least) so there’s some good sounding vocals for the majority. It’s just a bummer they came out of their way for this, their first show in Australia only to play it without vocals. Regardless, they ruled and I can’t wait to see them again.

Raein
Heaps of people left before Raein started which was weird but cool at the same time because it made the show more intimate I guess. Luckily the sound problems of Loma’s set were fixed for this one.
They pretty much played everything I expected and I really hope they mix it up for the remaining two shows. They’re gonna be awesome :)

Jim Ward @ The East Brunswick Club (2011-08-12)
I really love seeing Jim play. He’s just so appreciative of the response he gets over here which is probably why he keeps coming back. By far the best of the 3 times I’ve seen him solo. It’s a bummer I was running late and missed the first minute or so of All That We Lost. Air and Collapse made my night though. Sparta need to get back here.
Setlist:
1. All That We Lost
2. On My Way Back Home Again
3. This Love Has Gone Away
4. A Broken Promise (Sleepercar)

Future of The Left @ Meredith Music Festival (2011-12-09)
To be honest I was a little late on the Future of The Left train. I have a few Mclusky albums but never really made the connection between the two until recently. Leading up to the festival Future were the one band I listened to most in anticipation so needless to say I was pretty excited for this one. As I rushed back to camp between Barbarion and Future to get drinks and have a quick catch up with my pals I missed the intro to the set. Well, to be honest I was using the he-pee when they started and my recording actually starts in there… luckily however Neeso (who also posts to this blog) was there and was recording as well so I could use his source to patch up the first 2-3 minutes of mine and again later in the set while I have a chat with my girlfriend.
The set itself was awesome. Heaps of energy from the band and crowd and some pretty great singalongs. Falco’s stage banter was a little reserved but was still on point.
Setlist:
1. Arming Eritrea
2. Chin Music
3. Small Bones Small Bodies
4. adeadenemyalwayssmellsgood
5. Beneath The Waves An Ocean
6. Sheena Is A T-Shirt Salesman
7. Manchasm
8. Polymers Are Forever
9. You Need Satan More Than He Needs You
10. To Hell With Good Intentions (Mclusky cover)
11. Robocop 4: Fuck Off Robocop
12. Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues (Mclusky cover)

The Twerps @ The Grace Darling (2011-06-24)
I don’t give these guys as much love as I should. I mean.. I listen to them a bunch but I only really see them once a year. Gonna try and change that one because they’re so fun to watch live. This set is mostly songs off the upcoming album which is fantastic by the way.
