“RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR”

I fucking hate Sepultura!  I hate bands that scream their fucking lungs out and cause listeners to go home with severe migraines.  Being someone with no taste for thrash/death metal when a singer starts belting out notes from the depths of their stomach, this is the first comparison I make.

 This however, is not the experience I had with Planet Fiction.

Falloe – The Diamond & The Thief.

Falloe are a Melbourne based five piece folk/roots/blues band, who began as a duo and gradually picked up new members as they evolved.  An eclectic bunch of men; they prove just as diverse in sound.

Music for My Mood: On the edge

Fuck, I don’t do well with sleep deprivation.  I have had 2 hours sleep in ??? and I am lasting on excessive amounts of coffee. Finding something worthwhile to listen to, hard task.

But here she is.  Bertie Blackman, pulling me from my rambling, scrambled mess and shining a torch in my eye with a cover of my favourite song.  What a beautiful woman.

In all honesty I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this before I went; reviewing the master.  I was keen to just settle on photographs for the night, leave the notepad at home and avoid the critical eye.

But, up walked Everett True (The Legend!), plonked down his canvas bag on the front of the stage, sucked back a neck full of water and began the first song.
