NEW OLD FOOTAGE - PINK REASON, NEVADA STRANGE + XNOBBQX

I don't put everything that I film on here. A lot of the time the video turns out too dark and/or the sound is too muddy which equals a shit waste of time for you and me. Here's some footage that I rewatched and thought it was worth posting.

PINK REASON



Pink Reason ruled when they played Brisbane during their Australian tour in September last year. The psychadelic mood they were inebriated in at the time resulted in a freaking great performance as seen in this video, an extended version of "Borrowed Time".

Note: This was originally very dark footage so I've used a cheap 'auto level' effect included in my budget video editing software to moderately enhance your viewing experience.


THE NEVADA STRANGE



The Nevada Strange are from Sydney and played Brisbane January 30th 2010 at the Empire Hotel. The band battled shitty sound and an indifferent audience but still pulled it off. I like that.


XNOBBQX




xNoBBQx have made a name for themselves over the 5 years of their existence by touring all over the world and releasing their noise on labels like Siltbreeze and their own Breakdance the Dawn. This was a show at their squat in Moorooka, Brisbane from August last year. While filming I thought they were just soundchecking until 10 minutes had gone by and I realised it was actually their performance (hence the origin of "eternal soundcheck"). I would describe this set as a complete anti-performance. It is no future music made by musicians that aren't trying to try and if that sounds like I didn't like it then you've got me wrong, this shit rules.
