Wow what a cool night, thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed this. Definitely a highlight of my year.
KNEE CHIN
Over the course of this year Knee Chin have come from being a loose houseshow band into an incredibly great weirdo pop band that can take on the world. Brisbane's finest.
GERALD KEANEY & THE GERALD KEANEYS
Gerald Keaney plays a set featuring both lineups of his band ("Through the ages"), ending the night in great poetic party style.
A mini-festival presented by Bedroom Suck Records, described as "A FESTIVAL OF THE BRISBANE UNDERGROUND, ALL AFTERNOON BEERS + BBQ IN THE TROPICAL WINTER SUNSHINE." There was no BBQ but there were plenty of beers, all the bands delivered and it was a really nice day. Aww.
AMBROSE CHAPEL
Ambrose Chapel is the solo work of Ian Rogers, well known for his work in No Anchor, AXXONN and back in the day, Iron On. He kicked off the afternoon with some ambient noise in the Burst City courtyard.
PSY ANTS
Psy Ants are so freaking great. Brutal early afternoon set.
6MAJIK9
Psychadelic collaborative improv noise trippers 6MAJIK9 make a rare journey out of the NSW highlands to perform. They played a long set that had grand moments of lysergic bliss.
SKY NEEDLE
Sky Needle are on their own indescribable level of unique awesomeness. Check this out.
GERALD KEANEY AND THE GERALD KEANEYS
One of my favourite things filmed for this blog was Gerald Keaney and the Gerald Keaneys playing at a house show last year in West End. It feels weird that almost a year has past since he's performed in band mode in Brisbane but this set was totally worth the wait. Backed with a new band, Gerald entertains the crowd with his ideas on the future, philosophy, binary code and music videos.
CURED PINK
After playing a bunch of well received Melbourne shows, Cured Pink plays his first Brisbane show back to launch a new cassette EP (out on Sabbatical). The set was awesomely short, brutal and ended the event in blood oceans of doommmmm. doooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm. Doom.
I wasn't able to film all the bands that played (Heart Flew, Teen Sex, Yout Dem) but audio bootlegs of each set can be downloaded from Labyrinth City. More thoughtfully written reviews of the performances are there too.
