[ME] play one last gig in Melbourne before heading over to the UK to record. Michael Christian brings us the photos...
An evening spent with Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley is akin to downing a bottle of absinthe, surviving and waking up the next afternoon naked in a park, not quite knowing how you got there, but being sure you really enjoyed yourself. The theatrics were at an all time high, with both artists giving their all to ensure the sold out crowd at The Evelyn had a special experience with a cabaret style performance that made for a very entertaining night.
Starting the night off was Ballarat quintet, Howl, with their catchy pop-infused punk anthems. I’ve seen them several times before and they never cease to amaze me. The five teenage boys’ tunes have a snide, sneaky appeal to them, expressed through witty lyrics well beyond their years, fast-paced keyboard melodies and dirty, rigid guitar pulling it all together.
