So Bon Iver plays in Melbourne in a week and I won’t be there. I’ve already missed Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Yep, I will miss Camille, have missed Santogold. TV on the Radio, nope, won’t see them. Bet they’ll be rad though. Fleet Foxes *sigh*, no, didn’t catch those guys. South Rakkas Crew, no…ah no it seems there will be no dancehall rhythms for me this summer. Sorry, correction, if Sean Kingston is included as dancehall then I am fucking overflowing in it.

SubAudible Hum, Hot Little Hands, Three Month Sunset live at The Tote
We hit The Tote (a Collingwood pub and band venue) on a balmy Saturday night and were greeted with the wandering crescendos of Three Month Sunset (a.k.a. Gabriel Lewis). In a shameless display of free-flowing post-rock, Lewis caressed his guitar and peered out meditatively to the largely empty bandroom. A little overwhelmed by the grandiose and sheer volume of the set, we joined a small crowd of smokers and beer-guzzlers in the chilled out beer garden where the pensive emanations seemed to settle more fittingly.
