Unconstructive critiscm, slagging and random disinformation from the Melbourne music scene.
Ok, so you are from melbourne, that means you are probly in a band . But chances are that band is a derivative, soulless heap of turd. Its ok, get over it ....
Catfood Press, East Brunswick. Sunday Nov 2nd 2014.
Botox are from Adelaide, up to Melbs for the Maggot Fest Festival...which I never even went near.. doh. This is a brilliant band - latest in the rising tide of totally informed, impeccably influenced , criminally low tech , synth-punk units that continue to crop up from nowhere driving forward an already strong sub-sub-sub Genre that is becoming an increasingly Aus. centric phenomenon. Maybe not...but I loved 'em.
Catfood Press is of course an awesome (if at times uncomfortable) venue: I had been there a few times in the "days of scram" and this afternoons packed, heaving, sweaty and happy set goes down for me as one of the best they've ever hosted.
The M-Pavillion, Queen Victoria Gardens. Oct 26 2014
Where better for Melbourne's most nocturnal of tortured torch singers to launch his new single? In a coffee kiosk in the middle of a tourist infested City park on a pristine spring Sunday arvo...works for me....although some of the lyrical content (well one song particularly) wasn't exactly PG content..
I couldn't help thinking that this was probably the first time Jonny had been out in the daylight for some time, then he took his shirt off and it was obvious....
