Saw Gyroscope/The Bleeders/The Critics/Los Capitanes/Some other band at Uni of Canberra last night... god I hate all ages shows. And emo's. Bleached hair with a black fringe NEVER looked good you idiots. And stop looking so f**king depressed. The world isn't THAT bad a place.
Onto the music... got there just as Los Capitanes were finishing up, but they seemed to have a lot of energy and the crowd really got into them.
The Critics were f**king awesome. Great riffs, great vocals, great melodies. All you could want in a band (what's in the water in Perth?)
The Bleeders - tried too hard. The band can play but unfortunately don't have a singer to match. Tried too hard (did I say that already) and came off looking like a wannabe Shihad with 1/1000000th the talent. Had sound issues, some instruments were way too loud and actually started distorting over the speakers, particularly the bass drum.
Gyroscope - What can be said that hasn't already been said? Tight as a motherf**ker, absolutely brilliant, energetic live performance that never quits. Finished with a fantastic version of Nirvana's Territorial Pissings, class from start to finish.
A plea to Gyroscope - next time, don't let the kids in. They're f**ked.
And I would have like to see the Hilltop Hoods but I have a hens night on the same night.
