Just back home from this. It was a joy. I only know All Eternals Deck but that was plenty. Great being at a gig where the opening chords of a song make the place go mad, even if you dont know it. Big smiles on Everyones faces. Finished up with a pretty cool version of the boys are back in town. They sort of fucked up the chorus but it was grand.

this was good fun alright. I only know 1 album (get lonely) so most of it was new to me. Most of their songs are very non-descript and a lot of them sound the same. But they're cool to listen to, even if I don't remember a single thing about any of them 5 mins later.

Surprised to see the place so full too. They strike me as a band that people would come back from a J1 summer abroad having heard and liking them because it reminds them of that summer.

I just read there that the chick in the support act last night is F.Scott Fitzgerald's great granddaughter. Deadly.
