Things go from Dandy to Motley...to ???

Ahh, I love Summer. I love the warmer weather and the bands that are attracted to our fair country in the brighter months!!!

Best not to get ahead of myself....The Dandy Warhols...gotta love them. In fact you've got to love any band that is sucessful enough to not have to do a free concert, but who does one anyway! I did not make it to the Vic Market free gig, but I was fortunate enough to see them perform at the Chapel. They are amazing. Although, I must admit I was excited at the prospect of a one hour Dandies gig...any one who had ever been to a gig will kow that the band tend to get a it caught up inthe moment and it is not unsual for them to play for 3 hours or more. Needsless to sayd they went significantly over their allocated one hour! By the way, if you have not seen 'Dig' the DVD yet...go out and get it! Addictive viewing.

Long live Motley Crue!!! Because I'm not sure how much longer some of the memebers will...No that is nasty! Their gig at Vodafone Arena was pretty impressive considering their ages and years of substance abuse. The theatrics were a little over the top and I found myself giggling through certain parts, although i am sure that was NOT the intended response. I guess I was comparing their gig to Velvet Revolver...which is not fair, as they were completely different gigs. The pyro's were worth the proice of the ticket alone though. Who could resist seeing 'Home Sweet Home' performed live?!? Also, lets face it, as feral as he is Tommy Lee isn't exactly hard on the eye is he? How cute is he in 'Tommy Goes to College'!?!

Now....gig of the year so far (and that is not a claim I make lightly). The Foo Fighters!!! You forget how many hits they have had until you see them playing them back to back. Dave Grohl, and to a lesser extent Taylor Hawkins own the show...but what a show it is. Grohl has boundless energy and the ability to continhue to hype up the audience throughout the whole show. You have to wonder if this band would have happened even if Nirvana hadn't been over...it looks to me as though Grohl is doing exactly what he was born to do with the Foos and their infulence as a band should not be ignored. They have been around for a bloody long time and have managed to keep producing fantastic and popular music (the two often do not go together). In my opinion 'In Your Honour' is by far their best album to date.

So many tours to look forward to in the first few months of 2006! Rob Thomas, Shannon Noll, The Backstreet Boys, U2...does it get any better?!? Also new music from Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Goo Goo Dolls, Live...the list goes on.

Speaking of theings to look forward to....this is something I have been dreaming of for years. A Take That reunion!!! Granted, Robbie Williams is not involved (at this stage), but they went on for a good year without him before they split and they were still awesome! Only one word for it...speacial!

Speak soon!
