Armaniac will be watching 2 of Melbourne's best bands over the next 3 nights:
Tonight the band from our wedding, the Hoodangers, will be at Bar Open, Brunswick Street Fitzroy, from about 10. Superlative musicianship combining a trad jazz base with Police covers, D&B rhythms, and improvised scatting about drunken escapades.
Friday night the Crayon Fields are supporting some other band I don't care about at the Northcote Social Club. The Crayon Fields are original and brilliant, very young but not genre chasing and lacking stupid half-chopped faux eighties haircuts or other unoriginal pretensions. I'd mention experimental Radiohead but I wouldn't be doing them justice, and they aren't as depressed as the 'Head either.
See you if I see you...
Impressive

Always amazes me those parents who use their precious Facebook time in the
evenings to post on the school Facebook page. They must be genuinely
interested ...

Nice work. Sounds like a good couple of nights. I saw the Crayon Fields at the Annandale in Sydney a year or so ago. They were very tidy.
Avagoodone.
I'd say Radiohead - at least KidA, Amnesiac and Hail to the thief - is reasonably experimental as it is.
Damn do I love Radiohead!
Then we may see you on friday night; I know you're close to this area.
Incidentally, City City City's latest album is really quite impressive, though I haven't seen them live for a while. Superlative musicianship is more than appropriate for them as well.
Okay, that's weird. I know this is very late BUT I WAS AT THAT GIG. From very early on in the evening.
I was particularly taken by the excitable clarinet player WHO IS CLEARLY A GENIUS.
