freedom in the loot

Whilst on my Liddiard obsession, I 'spose I should mention I saw him with the rest of his super good lookin' band mates at the Forum.

I missed out on the Twerps and PK14 because I went to my friends before heading off to the Forum, which was sixty times better for my self esteem anyway.

The Drones were really good, but apparently the sound sucked. I couldn't tell though 'cos I was close to the front.

Here is a picture from the Melbourne International Arts Festival's Facebook:

cold and sober.

Just in case you don't know by now, this is Gareth Liddiard from the Drones (not that you should have any excuse not to- dreamboat!). I saw him do a solo sesh at the Post Office Hotel on Sunday and he was wonderful! He played a few of his new songs, including one that stopped mid-way 'cos it's "not finished yet!", alongside Drones songs, and witty banter.

My favourite Liddiard saying- "They're a pack of cunts!"

I also saw the Drones the previous weekend at the Inpress Warehouse, playing with Batrider and The Dacios,where the picture is taken (note Mike Noga in the background- my new love).

They are so amazingly sad and beautiful.
