Cog, Canberra 27 May

The Hellenic Club in Canberra is a bit of an odd venue for a rock gig, but as Flynn explained the band just wanted to try something different from performing at the local universities. Fair enough. I didn’t particular like the venue choice but the performance itself was of course awesome.

Get on this…yeahhhh on it.

Matt and Kim. Playing in Melbourne 1st of May. Playing elsewhere also but I don’t care.

Seriously though, pistons for legs would be awesome.

Great plan, in theory, but if you break a string and get flustered (and admit that to your audience), you’ve got no one to hold things while you get your shit together. While Ash rocks at what he does, his feet were half a second behind the rest of him. Get a drummer, son.

Mellencamp shows us how to R.O.C.K in Oz

I don't have to worry about any pop sensibility. I can write adult songs, and I don't have to worry about choruses and hook lines.
