I scored some freebies to the King Khan and BBQ show, so Nell and I went out last Wednesday in hopes of catching a glimpse of King Khan's belly again.
I met King Khan earlier in the day while I was working reception, and he smiled and said hi to me. I didn't even say it first, or have to stare at him to make him greet me. I think we fell in love.

Their show was at the Corner, and it was pretty full. We missed Woolen Kits, 'cos we were eating dinner, and nearly missed out on Royal Headache (who are amaaaazing, and I love them), because appaz you're not allowed to take in larger cameras. What a photography monopoly!

Being the clever cats that we are, we managed to get in with Nell's huge, fancy camera. Here are a few of her shots of the super babe that is King Khan, and his performance partner, the funny, albeit not such a cutie pie, Mark Sultan a.k.a. BBQ.

The costumes, songs and backdrop were all so amazing. Plus, they bagged the fuck out of Xavier Rudd, which was funny. It was probably my favourite show of the year thus far. We played 'Tastebuds' in the car on repeat all the way home, which is now the new favourite cunt song.

"If you have a problem with this song, you have a problem with your sexuality"- King Khan

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.
