I hate it when the audience sings along to the slow, quiet, heartfelt songs.

Oui, jet'aime!

If Rob dances like a rapping lizard, then Jarvis dances like a rapping chicken.

I'd forgotten how good he was on stage. Such a presence, and he actually talked to the crowd. Some guy behind us was yelling at him to shut up, but I thought it was nice. Seeing as most of the crowd was there to see him, not necessarily his music, he should have been allowed to talk as much as he wanted, even if it was inane babble.

The highlight of the night beyond a doubt though, was Phoenix. They absolutely rocked the house, and the pants off most of the female audience members.

Sexy French music boys.

Mmmm mmm! I wasn't that into their music before the show, but they did it so well live. An amazing sound, the mixing was so much better than Jarvis, and just their whole vibe on stage was awesome.

The whole night got me back into a music frame of mind, so I followed it up last night with The Drones at The Corner. Again, great show. These guys really can't go wrong, although my night was very close to ruined by a certain shot of cheap tequila.

So, two sleeps 'till I'm off to Byron. I was looking at The Apollo Bay Music Festival line up, it looks quite entertaining........... but then I had to remind myself that after Easter I'm on festival detox. We'll probably have to add a few more things to the detox list after that too.
