Stuck in my head – The Kills

Posted on March 14, 2012 by bekswhoknits

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice now.
Their live energy is always awesome, even if they do always focus on their new stuff. Their new stuff is always pretty awesome anyway.

Cut Chemist – Festival Gardens

Posted on March 5, 2012February 27, 2012 by bekswhoknits

Perth Festival has been impeccable this year.
Not only is the location darling (see my post on Death Cab for pics of the rubber ducky fairy lights) but there have been some awesome bands too.

Cut Chemist are one of my Misters bands. The story goes, if he hadn’t have discovered Cut Chemist then he would still be into gangsta rap, and his first impression would not have impressed me enough to date him.
I still can’t stand rap, but Cut Chemist’s talent is undeniable.

He is a talented musician on those turntables. Just watching what he can do is impressive.

And he’s a nice guy too! He came out and signed some merch and my bloke got a photo with him (which has made all of his workmates very jealous).
We also saw Russell Woolfe (a local radio celeb) who was also really nice as we chewed his ear off while he was having a night off.

Cut Chemist isn’t an artist I would buy a CD of (the Mister certainly would) but his live show was very entertaining.

I still miss these guys and wish they were still together.
And this song makes a great ringtone.

Death Cab For Cutie – Festival Gardens

Posted on February 27, 2012February 22, 2012 by bekswhoknits

I seem to be gushing a lot lately, but Death Cab on Saturday night were amazing. Festival Gardens is an awesome venue and I sincerely wish that it becomes a permanent venue, not just for 3 weeks during festival.

Couches should be mandatory at gigs. It felt like we were watching a band whilst relaxing at home.
It also helps when the band you’re watching is polished and professional.

Fun times.

Stuck in my head – The Shins – Simple Song

Posted on February 22, 2012February 22, 2012 by bekswhoknits

Well I’ve been baking up a storm, knitting up some socks, and working really hard at my new job.

But I’m still listening to music and picking out my favourites.

Love this song. And am definitely hoping they’ll come to Perth later this year. They’re very high on my ‘must see’ list.

Enjoy.

DCFC are playing Perth Festival. That’s pretty awesome.

This video clip is pretty awesome too.
Its like death cab gave their album to a whole heap of artist friends and said make us some videos. They released a whole album of video clips which I accidentally bought instead of their album, but this was on it so all is well.

The Rock Show – with Jon English

Posted on February 14, 2012February 13, 2012 by bekswhoknits

Was absolutely amazing.
Such a polished performance, as you’d expect from Jon English.

I went in with pretty much no expectations about what The Rock Show would be.
It was a trip down memory lane, with some very talented musicians.

The Astor was such a perfect venue too; there even was a meet and greet afterwards. I asked a burning question about Pirates of the Penzance that was hotly debated growing up (I was right).

But the absolute highlight was two rows in front of us (so second row), this white haired granny was rocking out to every song. She knew every word to Bohemian rhapsody. She’s my idol.

It was an awesome night, I was crying with laughter at points. I only wish they had a longer run because I could have recommended it to so many people.
