This Is Not A Photo Opportunity

BIGSOUND 2015, 09.09.2015 – Part 2

I’ve been too lazy to sort out the Bigsound photos by the time the acts played, instead you get them by alphabetical order, with Part 2 of the first night being the bands starting with a letter between L – W.

Highlights from this set of photos from the first night of showcases are Major Leagues and Totally Mild. Major Leagues are one of Brisbane’s best current crop of bands, while the Totally Mild album is one of the best Australian releases during 2015.

I struggle to see the attraction of Methyl Ethyl, who continue to garner rave reviews and press inches, but who are yet another dreary Australian psych band. To be fair, the sound at The Elephant doesn’t do them any favours. I can see the attraction of the terribly-named Polish Club because the guy has got a good sounding voice, but at the same time, it’s another one of those Black Keys two pieces that was the “in” thing about a decade ago.

I would have stayed out longer on the first night but Queensland Rail, in all their wisdom, have scheduled track works and an early departure from the Valley is unfortunately needed to get the rail bus replacement back home.
