Saw the above play before a very enthusiastic Sydney festival crowd on saturday night. Great to see the band included lots of Aussie players including Cameron Undy on bass, Aaron Ottingon on piano & our very own Ironguts on trumpet.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this gig. The band basically played jazzish arrangments whilst MH manipulted the sounds adding electronic shading & weird effects whilst prowling the stage ala Charlie Chaplin. The favourite parts for me were when the band were just left alone to play. However the crowd were going off including this Dude near me who was headbanging whilst I was trying to work out which drug induced such a reaction. Any help? I think that for a lot of the Sydney festival crowd they'd cheer anything thrown in front of them & whilst the gig was an enjoyable & entertaining one there was no way that it deserved a standing ovation which a lot of the crowd gave it.
The stand out for the night for me however was Ironguts flared jeans. Wtf? Where did he get em from & when can we expect to see them again? Forwarned is forearmed.
