Jay Reatard and No Age

Supported by Naked on the Vague and the Disbelievers.

It's a thursday and it was late so everyone was pretty muted for this show, but both bands were awesome.

Jay Reatard was first of the headliners, saw him the previous day at Red Eye doing an acoustic set which was interesting. Pretty fun. Lot’s of energy. Too bad you can see right through his act. Bassist is fucking awesome though. The bassist is a total dude.

I really liked No Age at the time, but I've come to appreciate them so much more since, I have attempted to record them a total of 6 times this year and this is the only one that's turned out. Great show though. Muddy sound.

Pivot November 2008 Australian Tour

Supported by My Disco and Qua.

In retrospect I have no idea why I went to this instead of Ohana's final show. But it was still a pretty great show. This was also my first show using the iRiver iHP-120 over my Edirol R-09HR.

Qua were first up and I didn't record but I'm sure it's on MoshCam somewhere.

My Disco then played their distinct brand of repetition, I mean minimalism. But really it was quite enjoyable and very fucking loud.

At the time, this Pivot recording was the exact sound I had been looking for. The show was great and ends in an awesome cover of I, Zimbra by Talking Heads.
