Gold Shoulder Friday #3

Launch of the Mountain Fold Music Journal.

Free beer and free music journal. Sweet. Lakes was up first and fucking loud, I haven't seen Lakes in about 3 years (One of the very first of these kind of shows I went to) and I don't remember it being that good. He was great, hoping to catch him again real soon and actually get it to tape this time.

Royal Headache do what they do. Two songs I hadn't heard before in here.

Royal Headache - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 27/11/2009 - 39mb - 26 minutes

After being a bit iffy on them last time, the UV Race totally won me over this night. They were so so great. Awesome fun, wish I could have made it the next night. Also the vocals were distorting like that on the night, could be intentional.

The UV Race - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 27/11/2009 - 51.3mb - 36 minutes

Ghosts of Television LP Launch

Supported by Hochman & Hopkins, Knitted Abyss and Whores.

For the launch of Forsaken Empire, which if I say so myself is easily the best album I've heard this year. Sure you could download it like every blog is telling you to, but you go figure that out yourself. The easier option is buy it.

I don't know what I did but I lost everything up until Ghosts of TV, I think I figured it out so it won't happen again but you know, bummer. Also lost the first song of Ghosts of TV, but here it is, it's awesome. Yeah the vocals are pretty loud but it makes Buzzrd pretty awesome even though you can barely hear anything but vocals. Also there's a Biggie cover in there.

Ghosts of Television - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 26/11/2009 - 45mb - 31 minutes

Gold Shoulder Friday #2

Featuring The Stabs, Witch Hats and Ghosts of Television.

More music for the launch of the new Mountain Fold Music Journal.

My first listenable recording of Ghosts of Television. They are basically one of the best bands in Sydney and this set was really awesome, sound is a bit iffy at times but you know, who cares?

Ghosts of Television - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 20/11/2009 - 40.4mb - 28 minutes

I don't think I "get" Witch Hats. Was weird that they had the longest set of all but yeah, I dunno I was kinda bored, the drummer is amazing though.

Witch Hats - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 20/11/2009 - 62.4mb - 44 minutes

I'm pretty sure I walked in during the Stabs first song, not too sure. But yeah, this was no where near long enough but seriously, Stabs, way to make everyone in Sydney look like a bunch of amateurs. Killer set.

The Stabs - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 20/11/2009 - 48.4 - 34 minutes

Basically it was so hot in La Campana that all my gear started to fall apart, yes it's all held together by tape, but still, I don't know how shits gonna go in the future if this is happening.

Gold Shoulder Friday #1

Featuring Naked on the Vague, Free Choice Duo and Bed Wettin' Bad Boys.

Only taped Naked on the Vague at this show. They were awesome, really dig the two new songs. You all know what they sound like and what to expect, can't really hear the vocals for the first half.

Naked on the Vague - GoodGod Small Club, Sydney, 13/11/2009 - 50mb - 34 minutes
