Royal Headache
Managed to catch 3 of the 4 gigs i intended to.
6/8 - Stained Sheets launch was great, particularly Bits Of Shit, Wasted Truth and it was good to see Ivens which is a 2 piece hip hop duo. Keen to see Bits Of Shit and Ivens play again soon.
7/8 - I got to the old bar early to catch Late Arvo Sons set, i really like their singers vibe. He has a heavy vocal that drives the songs like a bulldozer. Peewee have gone from a band i'd never heard of to one of my new favourites in 2 songs. They have Owen from Straight Arrows and i dunno much else. I bought their cd, 5 tracks that apparently were recorded like 2 years ago. Heres hoping for a new release from what can be best described as "like Carbonas but less dude sounding".
With having my buds from Sydney come down for the weekend i kind of tripped up on catching The Focus. Ma Bad. Deaf Wish. I like these guys, their sound is fierce and catchy. It's kinda like The Stabs meets Billy Bao. I'd been listening to demos of Royal Headache off their myspace waiting for them to come down from Sydney. I think it was like their 12th show and it was brilliant. I just wish Melbourne gets to see more of this band. I heard they could be playing Melbourne Flip Out on September 5th.
8/8 - I got to the Birmy early and caught Peewee do the best set of the night. They were even better than the night before. Super Wild Horses. Their 7" is the perfect gift. The kind of band even your grandma or little brother could get into. If you ain't got it, you ain't nothing. Royal Headache slayed. Made a bad decision on leaving before Bariken, kicking myself.

Unavoidable sport
Remember in school, when you absolutely had to do sport every week? Some things were cool, but often those sessions were just a wet muddy hour running round a paddock. Well, the late September football finals are kind of like that if you live in Melbourne. After sitting out the Olympics, the Grand Final is inescapable. I guess it's some sort of penance inflicted for an enduring lack of team spirit and rah-rah-rah. Anyway, if you have to watch, you may as well do it somewhere worthwhile:
Sadly, I think that's fully booked now. Other options- well, a bit later in the day, idGAFF will be it's usual oasis of excellence:
Or there's a soul night on over at the new look- well, under new management, anyway- Birmingham Hotel in Smith St:
But that's about it, I think.
SAT SEPT 27 FROM NOON – 11PM
HOSTED BY SPENCER P. JONES
GAME LIVE ON THE BIG SCREEN
PRIZES, COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS
HALF TIME ENTERTAINMENT
AFTER MATCH ENTERTANMENT
Sadly, I think that's fully booked now. Other options- well, a bit later in the day, idGAFF will be it's usual oasis of excellence:

A month off
So, I took a month off from this, and a few other things, for various reasons. But I'm back, and as of next week will have some shit hot new portable wi-fi tools to play with, so may end up posting even more.
Anyway- THIS:
Really, nights like this come along all too rarely. Get there if you can.
On Saturday, if you rug up warm you can probably trot up and down Johnson St. and catch some of this, too:
