Ian: These were taken by Leigh from Scul Hazards / The Entire Asian Population. It was sweet to catch up with some Brisbane folks and this show was a lot of fun. Thanks to Liam and Dave from Hired Geeks for putting it together. PS: The Entire Asian Population is a must, they're recording at the moment.
Ian: These are pictures of Tom playing at Cafe Oto. Good spot.
Ian: Here's Jodi Cave playing some minimal jams at Cafe Oto.
Ian: We stayed up all night to go to Birmingham's Supersonic Festival. On the upside: we saw Sunn O)), Kylie Minoise, Drum Eyes and Venetian Snares. On the downside: we stayed up all night and two sleeps later we're still feeling it.
Ian: A cathedral in Birmingham. They do good cathedrals in the UK.
Ian: I expected the worst from UK cuisine - mainly because everyone in bigger bands complain about it in interviews and docos. Guess what? They're all a bunch of whiney fucks. UK food IS stodgy but it's also heartwarming and fun. The above meals were consumed in a cosy pub just around the corner from Supersonic. Stephen O'Malley was sitting at the next table.
Ian: Rank Australians killing time before Sunn O)).
Ian: Birmingham does good train stuff.
Ian: Tom on coffee: 'Sometimes I just want a dirty one in a styro cup with a paddle pop stick to stir it'. His wish was granted by a lovely woman outside of Supersonic.
Ian: Our elaborate guest passes to Supersonic.
Ian: Drum Eyes blazing.
Ian: Sunn O)) geekery. It was loud. Duh. But also mildly rockin', not exactly what I expected. Greg Anderson moved around quite a bit. I love these guys but it did feel weird watching them rock a mega festival crowd with something that sounds - to me - like those improvised Melvins tracks they used to annoy unfriendly audiences in middle America.
Ian: Sunn O)) setlist. No shit. Not sure how they saw it - or whether listing 'drone' on there is entirely necessary but a good keepsake for Tom.
