Friday Cupcake and Tunes - 25/04/25


Wolf and Cub - self titled ep

Pulled this one out the cd crate and had instant flashbacks to the old shotz sticky floor and my hot pink cons. It's been a good 18 or so years since I've given this a spin albeit the odd few times on radio. I use to thrash this if you can't tell by the scuffed cover. Local Tarntanya / Adelaide band's 2004 ep. Two drummers, and frantic guitar and vocals. So many of my friends and or people I use to know credited / involved on this. They released a lot of other albums, but nothing ever really captured the sound of this ep or them live in the early days.

Thursday Night // Friday morning ear ringing



Adelaide went off last night! And I went out on a Thursday night - a rare treat these days.

Tarp are a local duo and they were incredible. A must see! And of course Yamantaka Eye! What a crazy legend. At 61, he's still pumping out the hardest beats. We never thought we'd ever see him / boredoms and now I've seen him twice in less then 12 months.

The last picture is from when we saw him unsound last year. The unsound set had visuals to go with it. It was the most surprising and insane 60 mins. Etched in my brain!

Saturday Lemonade and Tunes 15/02/25


Last time I went to Laneway was 12 years ago. A lot has changed, including me and my dislike of festivals. But you sometimes gotta go where the music is otherwise you miss out in our little town.

Charlie puts on a SHOW with a very minimal set up which is impressive and clever. I admire that. Everyone was having a good time including the x2 thrupples I was wedged next to. You probably could of heard the crowd from the other side of town. The energy was next level. Can't remeber the last time I experienced that to be honest.

Some other mentions - Remi Wolfe was fun, Joey Valance and Brae looked like they'd stepped out of a new metal band to do beastie boys (great vibes), and a good saxophone solo during clario which made the toilet line bearable. There were some other things I would of liked to see but didn't happen.
