[...] I was expecting more from Evil Dick in the fashion stakes, he was less dressed up than he was at The Troubadour show a couple weeks ago. Tamara seemed quite quiet and less animated as well; I was waiting in anticipation of some good [...]

I recently heard Little Scout on 4zzz and liked what I heard. I’d like to catch them live. We might have to agree to disagree on McKisko and Hits.

My neck is so sore today after that Soho set…

I like Hits’ songs on MySpace, I think it’s live where they can be hit and miss. have another two blogs on their way where Hits played; one was as The Troubadour and one I did really enjoy. Saw McKisko support Bon Iver and liked the songs where she built up the tracks using her loop pedal but found some of it too dry and not that memorable. Will try and check her out again sometime soon. I don’t know if I have a favourite ‘new’ Brisbane band; most of the ones I like are at least a couple of years old. There were a few bands on Before Hollywood’s Stranded compilation that I did like and keep meaning to check out – Little Scout and Nova Scotia are a couple of the top of my head I know I wanted to go and see.

I did notice that about Dean when looking through Saturday night’s photos; I haven’t got a single photo of him with his eyes open so wasn’t sure if it was just really bad luck in timing or he does play with his eyes shut, but sounds like it might be the latter.

This was a great night, and a great return for the GoS. To be honest, I absolutely loved all three bands. If not for bolter-from-nowhere McKisko, Hits and No Anchor would be duking it out for the spot as my fave new Brisband (even though neither are, really, that new at all).

I adored Evil Dick’s sunnies, too.

Oh and speaking of the frustrating closed-eyes thing — did you notice that Dean Schwereb mostly drums with his eyes closed? It’s very unusual … seems fine when you watch, but it just looks odd in a picture.
