Cog are just one of those bands that no matter how many times you see them live they consistently put on an awesome live show and blow you away. This was no exception. What a good show. Pretty predicatable set with nothing off Just Visiting (please re-tour that album) but a few off The New Normal I didn’t think we’d get so it was ok.
I remember that on the night it was a terrible terrible miserably shitty night outside. It was raining heavily and such a welcome relief to finally get inside the venue. However, it was incredibly hot and stuffy inside and I was close to passing out throughout much of the set. A big thanks to the random girl who got me a water mid set. You were a life saver.
Also, the Queensbridge is a pretty cool venue. I wouldn’t mind it if some international bands played there instead of some of the ‘poorer’ venues around Melbourne. That is, when I’m not getting stabbed up out the front.
