THEE OH SEES (REVISITED)

It's Monday and shit, another week. Thee Oh Sees are one of my favourite bands and their Brisbane show in December last year was THE BESTEST. Man I am getting dumb. Anyway this is another song from that show, 'Ghost in the Trees' off the album 'The Master's Bedroom is worth spending a night in'.

WHORES AT THE CLUBHOUSE 30-01-10

Sure I could make heaps of jokes regarding the title of this post, heaps. Instead I'm going to bore you and focus on the music. Whores are a great band from Sydney and I believe this was their first time up in Brisbane as support for The Nevada Strange. I'd describe them as enjoyably bleak doom punk or something, that sounds about right. This was also the last Clubhouse show to be held at The Empire and I am so freaking relieved. I filmed Nevada Strange and Slug Guts this night too but the crappy sound and lighting made it pretty horrible and I'd hate to waste your time. Like the amount of time I wasted at the bar waiting to get served because of uh, whores.

DICK DIVER / KITCHEN'S FLOOR AT THE CLUBHOUSE 23-01-10

Not the biggest fan of that poster but whatever. This was Dick Diver's first show in Brisbane and one of the last Clubhouse shows to be held at The Empire Hotel. It was a pretty fun night besides some sound problems and the lights in the venue not working for the duration of Sleepwalk's set. My camera doesn't have 'night mode' so I couldn't film them but they put on a great show and uh, sorry 'bout that but check them out won't you?


DICK DIVER





I enjoyed this set a lot, especially the extended instrumental bits. Apologies for the muddy sound, I'm not the smartest guy and filmed up front while leaning on the speaker. Idiot.


KITCHEN'S FLOOR



Thanks to Noob for filming this for me. Myspace.

THEE OH SEES / LOOMER / SULPHUR LIGHTS AT THE CLUBHOUSE 17-12-09

THEE OH SEES





I've been listening to and thinking about this band a lot lately, they play with the kind of honest passion I'm always searching for in music. Everything about the band is almost too perfect to the point you start freaking out at how perfect Thee Oh Sees are. Inspiring.
