Pioneers of good Science

Pioneers of good Science, Danes Magic Shop , Jan 25th 2014
I always under estimate how far it is to Brunswick....I blame it on deceptive google maps (this way be monsters), and  melways with missing pages...anyhow it was an epic ride out to Sydney road and luckily not too hard to find Danes Magic shop, a very classy setup down a back alley, with classy wall murals , classy seats, classy satin curtains , a classy bar  and an impressive range of fart powder. Mr Certificate did tricks between the bands which was really cool and turned the evening into something very different from your run of the mill pub backroom trial by ennui. 
( did I feel a dickhead for assuming it was a squat/shop/frontroom gig and  bringing a couple of stubbies in a paper bag? yep).

Of course it was too dark for my recording device but Pioneers of good science were great in that cuddly un-user friendly shoegaze with brains way that they are. And this song (off their white vinyl 12")...was ...just ...magic!

Litter took an age to get set up , behind closed curtains, but they were on a mission to record every one of their 10 songs at each of their 10 gigs for release on a 10" ( in 10 years time probably) so there was lots of mike taping and mac tweaking involved.

Faced with another extended gear shuffling and snare tapping session before Map Ends played I'm afraid I bailed, a long bike ride down a scary Merri creek bike path beckoned and Id had enough by then.
