Me also. Too low on funds to afford tickets. We should probably make out.

 

[philphie]

you touch one hair on my body and i will jizz so loud that everyone will hear and grizzly bear will stop playing

 

[Born Dancer]

all of my friends are going to patrick watson beforehand so im looking forward to the 1hr45m train ride by myself where ill be playing gta on my ds and listening to veckatimest

 

[philphie]

haha i never ever listen to any music by the band i'm going to see at the concert for the entire week, spoils my ears.

 

[Born Dancer]

no way. if i havent listened to it in ages i like listening to it before so that i can sing along otherwise if i know it well enough, i will normally listen to it afterwards on the way home

 

[coudes]

Disappointed that I didn't get JN or AB tickets...would've been nice to see them again but found out they were touring a little too late.

apparently grizzly bear were awesome tonight.

so excited for tomorrow night

Woo! Same here.

 

[knoobs.]

Woo!

Seeing Grizzly for the second time in a month on Thursday night. First time was over new years at falls and they were brilliant but I think it's going to be a lot more amazing at the recital hall with the acoustics, lighting etc.

Anyone else going that night, do you know if there's a support act or it's Grizzly straight at 9.30?

wetting my pants with excitement

 

[philphie]

they have two shows, one at recital hall the other at Beck's. the one at Becks they are playing with The Middle East

 

[CecilyMare]

I wanted to go to Camera Obscura sooooo bad.

 

[philphie]

haha underage

 

[Born Dancer]

That was ah-maz-ing!

 

[philphie]

home already? what were the standouts?

 

[Born Dancer]

home already? what were the standouts?

i was in the car.

definite highlights: little brother; ready, able; knife;southern point; deep blue sea.

oh man it was SO good, they had all the lights expertly coordinated, their guitars were so warm and their harmonies were just brilliant. They were constantly recording and looping to add to their sound, and had put filters on a clarinet, flute and sax so that they were very kind of hollow and droney.

 

[philphie]

ARRRRRGHGHGHG!!!!!


did they have string accompaniment for ready, able?

 

[Born Dancer]

they didn't have any strings so most of their songs sounded a bit different. i dont think they lost anything in that though, ed droste has such an amazing voice

 

[Born Dancer]

oh and chris taylor the bass player hung around afterwards to chat to people and we got to tell him how awesome they were and they were saying that they are hoping to tour australia heaps more regularly

 

[philphie]

ah good news at last

haha was chris flirting with any guys?

 

[Born Dancer]

im not sure, probably.
