sarrenWent to see The Living End at the Metro in Northbridge. I'm surprised they chose such a small venue - either they're less famous than I would have thought, or they're sticking with their punk rock roots.
The first support band were okay, um, The Silence, couldn't really see them under the hair. Then there was Children of something or other *shrug*. I didn't think much of their opening song, and the lead singer's voice needs to mature but they took off after a bit and were pretty awesome. They were playing again at The Rocket Club that night, I wouldn't have minded going, have to keep an eye out for them.
I was knackered by the time they were half way through and started feeling sorry for myself about how I'm clearly too old and decrepit for these things, until I remembered my lack of sleep, 6am start and really long work day and then The Living End came on and were awesome and then they started playing all the stuff I know and love and I forgot all about being tired and wished I was down on the dance floor instead trying to rock out with some random five-foot delicate-looking girl standing right next to my elbow.
My favourite song: Wake Up
(Awesome SGA/SG1 woobie vid to Wake Up I couldn't find a streaming version, scroll down page to get to download.)
White Noise Actually not my one of my faves but I spent the whole night watching Chris Cheney sing and wondering how someone who doesn't look at all like Nathan Fillian could remind me so much of Nathan Fillian, and see he does in this vid too!:
West End Riot
Prisoner of Society
I'm a bit surprised that they didn't play Second Solution
