No this not a blog about twilight or anything twilight related. So if you're an awkward and overly emotional teenager who is emphatically in love with some guy called "Edward" my advise is to stop reading now...
This blog IS about the concert I went to last night...that being the first gig of a national tour for Wolfmother. Now I like all types of music, and I've seen well over 40 bands to date...but one of my fondest gig memories is the first time I saw Wolfmother perform at the Brisbane Riverstage. Getting kicked in the face has never been so much fun!
So needless to say I re-lived some of those fond memories (with one of the original group I went with all those years ago) and yet again Wolfmother did not disappoint. Even with a new line-up (including one very good looking new guitarist!) their sound is still strong and they deliver a fine live performance. Nothing gets the kids more excited than the first few bars of "Woman".
Having a very survivable position in the mosh means I'm alive and well enough to tell the tale, and thankfully I didn't have to put up with too many drunken mingers trying to hook in. Eww. One thing I do have to mention is that the guy in front of me had THE MOST MAGNIFICENT HAIR I'VE EVER SEEN!!! My friend and I spent a good part of the night just entranced by it's aura, staring at it's perfect bounce and volume. I was even dared to touch it, which I actually achieved (*touch* to be read as, practically burying my face in it and smelling it) No I'm not a creeper I swear.Really.
Anyway song wise the set list was well awesome including the "classics" (Dimension, White Unicorn, Colossal, Mind's Eye and Woman) and some of the new material (New moon rising, Back round) from their album "Cosmic Egg" which drops next month.
All three times I've seen these guys they've closed with my all time favourite "Joker & the Thief" and it gets me EVERY time. My incredibly sore neck today is proof that I indeed rocked out with the best of them to that magic finale!
So needless to say I'm tired (lots of driving, lots of walking and lots of rocking out) but thankfully it's Friday. Friday 2.25 to be exact. 5 mins left of lunch and then 1-2 more hours of work...depending if I can sneak out at 4pm or not. (it's an option here....i LOVE my job!)
Good weekends to all!
