Tunes

Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

Good choice icandig. Such an amazing journey for them too.
I know people who played gigs with them when Jeremy had an episode. Hard times for him and them. Good to see them gigging again every now and then.
These guys were pretty good too, bit more US than Oz but based in Sydney.

Haha. Classic!!! And definitely one of Oz's finest bands. First time i heard them was on an old Rusty vid, R.Rated, to footage of Pipe. Fuck, it might have even been one of the old HIC pros.

Yeah they go off live. I took my wife and daughter to New York to see them a couple of years ago, and it was excellent. They love the Aussie sound over there. Cheers

How ironic - I started this thread almost ten years ago (28 Feb 2012) with a post about The Drones.

And last night I drove to Brisbane to watch Tropical Fuck Storm, who were unreal.

Lotta driving though for one gig, won't be doing that again. I ain't twenty two any more.

lostdoggy Monday, 31 Jan 2022 at 08:17 am new

Sounds apt rather than ironic.

What’s an indoor rock gig atmosphere like in these times, Ben?

thermalben Monday, 31 Jan 2022 at 10:29 am new

Atmosphere was about the same (i.e. unreal), most people wearing masks if they didn't have a drink, but didn't seem to matter.

Had forgotton how wonderful a good wall o' noise sounded, when played by the right band.

Sorry. I kind of started a theme and disappeared. Here's a couple for you....first a surf song - lyrics to live by (Give it a chance - at least to the chorus) . Second a skate song -an old favourite.
