The Bronx @ Belly Up Tavern (2012-04-17)

Seriously love these guys. Was really gutted when they were announced as supports for Soundgarden earlier in the year and not having tickets to see them. However, when this show was announced it seemed like the planets aligned so that I could see them... or something. Regardless, here is a typically awesome Bronx show. It was cool to see them work The Hives' crowd from not being overly interested to being much more animated and into it.

I recorded this from directly to the right of the soundboard so the sound is pretty good. However, the vocals are quite low throughout as they were on the night. Not sure what was going on there...

The Bronx @ The Corner Hotel (2013-04-30)

Pretty typical Bronx show. Lots of energy and as always... it was loud. It was great to see a bunch of new songs after seeing them tour the last album 4 times. And even better they switched it up the following night.

As always, this was recorded left side of the venue and the sound is fairly good.

2.  The Unholy Hand
3.  White Tar
4.  Shitty Future

The Bronx @ The Corner Hotel (2013-05-01)

So... this is probably the best Bronx show I've seen out of the 6 (7?) times I've seen them. I don't know why this one stands out I just really enjoyed it. Maybe because I finally got to see them play Oceans of Class I'm not sure. I've just wanted to see that song since I first heard them. It's not even one of my favourites. Notice of Eviction was a surprise and actually ruled. Really happy they did that one. Now I've only got one track left of that album to see.

Thanks for switching setlists up between the two nights as well. Love when bands do that.

This was recorded from my usual spot by the left side emergency exit. The sound is clear and like it was on the night.



Setlist:
1.  Intro
2.  Inveigh

Refused @ The Palace (2012-11-15)

Writing this now its been over half a year since the show and despite how drunk I was I remember the night quite vividly. I'd started off at home with a few pre-drinks and met up with a friend on the train and then we went to Spicy Noodle Cafe for dinner. I had the spicy chicken noodle and a coopers green. Afterwards, we decided to stick around there and have a few drinks because it was happy hour (happy hour is 5-9) and before long we were 5 or 6 drinks down. Then another friend came to meet us and he had dinner and we drank some more. Needless to say.. 9:30 rolled around and by the time we realized we hauled ass to get to The Palace on time and made it inside (grabbing a beer or two as we passed the bar) just in time to catch Refused come out. If I'd been there earlier I would have left in the pulsating noise thing as an intro to the recording but I wasn't. Sorry.

The show itself was pretty spectacular. Although I'd already seen them earlier in the year at Coachella I was beyond excited for this. That mixed with all the beers meant I did something I normally wouldn't at a show in that I got pretty rowdy. Yep.. I was front and centre sweating it up and screaming my lungs out. Stupid I know but in my defence it would be the last chance I would get to do it at a Refused show so I made the most of it. However, the heat and all the alcohol caught up with me during Life Support Addiction and I had to make a sneaky trip to the bathroom to vomit. Classy right? Luckily I made it back for Worms of The Senses / Faculties of The Skull because if I'd missed that I would have been pretty shattered. Man that song rules live.

Anyway. Great show. Reform again in 10 years or so and we'll do it all again OK?

Recording wise this one isn't the best. As mentioned I was on the drink and 3 songs in wanted to go and get rowdy. So, I gave my equipment to a friend who was there and he recorded from the mid-back left of the venue. At one point he leaves to go to the toilet so I patched that bit with some audio I found on youtube. There's also a bit of talking in parts.
Listen to this one with an open mind. It is one of the last shows they played and it ruled.



Setlist:
1.  The Shape of Punk To Come
2.  The Refused Party Program
3.  Liberation Frequency
4.  Rather Be Dead
5.  Coup D'Etat
6.  Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine
7.  The Deadly Rhythm
8.  Hook, Line and Sinker
9.  Protest Song '68
10. Refused Are Fucking Dead
11. Life Support Addiction
12. Worms of The Senses / Faculties of The Skull
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13. New Noise
14. Tannhäuser / Derivè

Trial Kennedy @ Corner Hotel, 23/06/2012 - FINAL SHOW EVER

Well. Farewell gigs kinda suck, don't they? It was only a few weeks after me and quite a few mates were at the Hi Fi Bar saying goodbye at The Butterfly Effect's last gig with singer Clint Boge (and many secretly thought, their last ever gig), and now a lot of the same people were gathered again, this time at the Corner Hotel, for one last hurrah for Melbourne rockers Trial Kennedy. You know what, I don't think I appreciated this band enough when they were around. I saw them a few times as a support band, always really enjoyed their two albums, but I don't think I ever got to a headline show until this one. Oh well, at least I was there at the very end, and it was a good way to go out. The band seemed to be pretty happy with how they were wrapping things up, and they played a great setlist with pretty much all the "hits" and a few rare treats for everyone. Well, this was ages ago so I've really not got a lot to say about it anymore, except it was a very fun night. With a bit of luck, we might see more from the band members in the future (other than appearances on The Voice, hopefully).

Sound quality is a little variable. I was having a pretty good time moving around, and I also wasn't that close to the stage. But hey, it's their last show ever. So at least a recording exists :)

SETLIST:
Sunday Warning
Strange Behaviour
Living Undesigned
Hollowood
Breathe a Dime
My Idol Who?
Damage on Parade

The Great Escape
Colour Day Tours

Scott & Charlene's Wedding @ The Curtin Bandroom (2013-03-15)

Haven't really listened to these guys as much as I should but I guess that after this show I will from now on. Really enjoyed this one and listening back it's even better.

This recording is a mix between my audience capture and a really good soundboard recording. The Curtin is quickly becoming my favorite place to record because every show I'm getting there is sounding fantastic.



Setlist:
1. 
2. 
3.  Treat Yourself
4.  Epping Line
5.  Gammy Leg
6. 
7.  Footscray Station
8.  Wiseman At The Station
