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.

SCUL HAZZARDS / TURNPIKE / QUIET STEPS AT THE STEP INN 5-02-10

ROCK N ROLL BABY. Scul Hazzards' first show in Australia after spending a few years in a tour van driving around Europe, playin' shows, escaping the police and shitting in ditches on the side of the road. Seeya in the pit.


SCUL HAZZARDS



This is the music to drink beer too on a Friday night and forget that you have a crappy job, mounting debt and paranoia that the neighbours are stealing your clothes.


TURNPIKE



Turnpike have been around since the mid 90's and Brisbane just wouldn't be right without them. I'm certain there's a parallel universe out there where Turnpike never existed and everything is wrong and evil. You'd think that the band would consist of a bunch of tired old jaded rock dudes standing like decaying statues on the stage boring the shit out of snotty shithead teenagers but they play with more passion and energy than most newer bands so take that 'old band' stereotype. Respect.


QUIET STEPS



THIS SONG IS EPIC. There is like 58 different parts in there and it does my head in. How do they remember it all? By not taking drugs, that's how kids. Jokes aside, I enjoyed filming this and so maybe you might enjoy watching it. Myspace.

WHITE COP

I thought it was worth posting another video of the White Cop show from The Step Inn 25-09-09 as the repercussions from this show have resulted in a lifetime ban from that venue including the patronage of it's members. Punk rock.

WHITE COP:



"Bask in the ooze, baby. A shitty, pissy stew of lysergic ineptitude and all that pure shit, pure sleaze, pure faggot drunk noise. Primordial oooooozzze. Old people are so dumb, your so boring. Your so pretty. Cut me. Make me feel good. Gimme bennies. Gimme danger. Get on stage and blow every member of the band. Hate WHITE COP."

PINK REASON / SLUG GUTS / FABULOUS DIAMONDS / BLANK REALM AT THE STEP INN 10-09-09

The lineup was mindblowing, I haven't looked forward to a show as much as this one for a long time. Pink Reason was the best thing I've seen in ages. Great fucking band mate.
