i want to be your lego man.

I f'n hate volleys, and i'm totally the kind of person who will judge you by the aesthetics of shoes (excluding the criteria of age- my shoes are complete scum [only because I'm poor]) and one of my new favourite musicians was disappointingly wearing them on Saturday at the UV Race LP launch.

Deaf Wish and Royal Headache were playing along with the UV Race. Deaf Wish was pretty good, but I liked them better last week. Royal Headache were really cool- they were so much fun. The singers stage movements kind of reminded me of Aussie hip-hop, but they totes didn't sound it.

UV Race were really good. I love it when the band perform like performers instead of playing like they are recording, or something. The singer was the best, he was wearing this sweet little get-up (that WAS actually little, size-wise) of this fluro yellow cord/tape wrapped around his chest and shoulders. Then there was oven proof aluminium containers placed on his shoulders, armour style with foam letters UV on the right side, and RACE on the left. I was too busy being mesmerised with his ensemble, their sick show and getting bruises to even notice his shoes.

I also saw Brendan from ECSR just hanging out at Ding Dong, and I got to do that cool double take 'wow, it was him' thing. I told Dad, and he sent me a message saying 'to cool'. I can't decipher whether he used the write too/to, maybe I was just leaning towards 'too cool' because it's more pleasing to the eye.

And I'm all about that.

friday on my mind.

I really, really like the Chinese Burns.

I saw them play a couple of songs last night at Town Hall in North Melbourne and I felt like squealing. It may have something to do with the Digger and the Pussycats-esque singing drummer, but with my loser obsession aside, Chinese Burns where great. It really sucks that it was their last show and I missed most of the set.

Deaf Wish also played last night, they were pretty insane. I'd seen Jensen (?), one of the guitarists/singers do some solo stuff a few months back and have been waiting for ages to see him in a band, I think I actually forgot it though- hence this being the first time I had gone along to see them. I think I fell in love with the guitarist (the one with blonde hair). He was really trashy, jumpy and just flipping out with his guitar the whole time. I like it when musicians do that, but my eyes have been void from the experience lately. I think the best time was when the old guy from Sixfthick (wait...they're all old!) took off his shirt, slagged on his chest, rubbed it in like nobodies business and then proceed to sexually dance upon women in the crowd. I keep recommending them for a good time to friends, but nobody ever goes and sees them.

There was also a plethora of really impressive mustaches in the Town Hall on Friday.
