Apparently The Shins gigs have been moved to the Metro. I don't mind the Metro as a venue (the one time I went I could see really well and it was pleasant enough, although it's not non-smoking) but I'm still not going to go. They'll be back and I'll be back in Melbourne as a full time resident then so weeknight gigs won't be a hindrance. I heard a rumour that Wilco are coming out again later this year (unconfirmed as of the moment) which would be great... Now I know all their new songs I'd be even more excited, if that's possible.
Next Friday, I'm seeing Evermore at the Palais. I've seen them already once supporting Split Enz and they were quite good. I really wanted an excuse to go to another gig and the two support acts were the incentive. Aqualung is pretty good (if he plays Left Behind I'll be happy) and Kate Miller-Heidke is also an artist I've wanted to see live for awhile now. I discovered both her and Josh Pyke in 2005 through the Triple J Ausmusic Month free MP3 downloads on their website, which happens each November. Last year I didn't acquire anything that exciting though.
My friend Bec invited me to see Gotye at the Athaneum in August which should be great. He's being supported by an orchestra. I'm looking forward to seeing Hearts A Mess and Learnalilgivinanlovin. Should be a good show. That makes it ten gigs in eight months... not a bad effort. I'm already two up on last year.
