Pavement - at the Palace, Melbourne


Watching Pavement at Golden Plains was just plain awesome! A week later they played a couple of shows at the old Metro, now called The Palace. Not to be confused with the old Palace in St.Kilda which has now been knocked down..... I think.


Malkamus was on fire...
...well, perhaps his pants were...
...well, he was a little excited, walking over the drumkit half way through the set....
...it's hard to see, but thats him behind Spiral, on the floor tom...


...and how awesome is Bob!?!!




Soup




The other week Nell made some awesomely hearty soup. Everyone loves soup right!?

It was ace. A full moon too!

I've been drawn and blogged! at XTOTL

Here's a version/vision of me, at the Tote with camera and flash in hand as remembered by Toby Morris, who has included me in his XTOTL blog series 200 People I Used To Know.
Thanks Toby!

Toby has relocated to Amsterdam after initially moving to Melbourne from NZ with his band at the time, Batrider.

SLAM Rally

The SLAM Rally occurred last week with a massive show of numbers. As well as a few famous heads. Even Slash (G'N'f'n'Rs) caught wind of the troubles we've had down here in Melbourne and send in an email of support.

Simon Grounds (above) even brought out of the studio his trusted microphone stand friend because the situation was looking so dire.




walking up Bourke St

Paul Kelly gets interviewed...
Did I mention there were a lot of people?

Friends came too!

And even the Liberal Party turned up, with dubious intent, and cigarettes in mouth...
