SCRAPS / FEATHERS AT WOODLAND 18-09-10

WOODLAND is a great new venue in the valley, a desperately needed fresh alternative to the long running valley staples (ric's, troubadour, step inn etc.), it's hopefully going to be the best place to see decent bands play in Fortitude Valley from here on in. The opening night the week before was massive, with Blank Realm and Slug Guts putting on awesome performances. I filmed it but the audio is farked, if anyone has an audio recording of the night get in touch.

Scraps and Feathers were great as always.

FEATHERS / STAG / SOUTHERN COMFORT AT LATROBE TCE. 15-07-10

Another show at my house and uh, hell yeah. Good bands, minimal property damage, no noise complaints and my local bottle shop gets rich. Success.


FEATHERS



New song from Feathers, 'Darklands' and it's awesome. What a chorus!


STAG





Ravenous carb hungry pop noobs Stag delight the crowd, delight the crowd, delight the crowd.


SOUTHERN COMFORT



Playing their first Brisbane show, Sydney's Southern Comfort (Angie and Harriet from Circle Pit) pack out the lounge room and play through a set of solid hits.

ABSOLUTE BOYS / FEATHERS / VELOCIRAPTOR AT CUBBY HOLE 19-06-10

Cubby Hole is closing down and I'm unsure whether it'll continue at another venue so this is probably the last thing I'll film from there. END OF AN ERA, MATE.


ABSOLUTE BOYS



Hailing from Melbourne and featuring former members of Eucalypt and Ohana, Absolute Boys play Brisbane for the first time. I really liked it, someone described them to me as 'My Disco meets Fabulous Diamonds' which is kinda maybe fitting but I thought they were different enough to stand on their own. Which is a good thing, Duh.


FEATHERS





Gotta love Feathers, the first video is a brand new song with an appearance by Andrea Blake from Chrome Dome. The second video is a Rolling Stones cover. Enjoy.


VELOCIRAPTOR



Geeez man, Velociraptor have more members than I have mice in my kitchen which is a freaken lot. Spazzed out garage rock and a good example of how to get your friends into a show for free - just give them a tambourine.

FEATHERS / THE SEIZURES AT TRIBAL THEATRE 21-05-10

First time at the Tribal Theatre, formerly the Dendy Cinema and located in the Brisbane CBD. Great new place to see bands, it's a massive old luxurious room of MAGNIFICENCE which makes everything epic and cool.

FEATHERS





I said I'd get better footage of Feathers at their next show and here you go. I went a little nuts with the ZOOMING but whatever man, I was drunks. Feathers have good songs and are tight. Enjoy.


THE SEIZURES





The Seizures have come a long way since I saw them play last year. They've got a new drummer and are almost legal drinking age so they're a lot more confident now. They rocked the fuck out at this show and it was awesome and made me remember that not all teenagers suck.

CHROME DOME / FEATHERS AT BURST CITY 23-04-10

Burst City is a brand new venue in Brisbane, it's an old community hall situated across the road from the museum dinosaurs in South Bank. This was my first time there and although there were some sound/lighting issues I have no doubt that once the place gets settled down (or doesn't get shut down) it's going to be one of the best places to see bands play in Brisbane.


CHROME DOME



On tour for their new album and their first time in Brisbane, Melbourne's Chrome Dome are living the hedonistic wastoid dream to the fullest. This is artistic expression at it's most pure as the songs are an uncompromisingly harsh soundtrack to their fucked up lifestyle. There is no separation between the people/music here folks, this is the real deal. I wish more bands were like this instead of living their art only on the weekends inbetween uni assignments like some lame arse indie rock band. Chrome Dome live this shit 24/7 and deserve your respect.


FEATHERS



The last time I saw Feathers was at least 2 years ago and I can barely remember it which makes for a weak opening to this paragraph. Since then they've lost members, acquired some new members and written a bunch of new songs. I was looking forward to filming them but the lack of lighting in the venue made it hard. I've added some sepia brightness effect crap to this to make it watchable because I thought the song was really good. I promise next time Feathers play I'll get some Grade A premium beef footage because they're worth it.
