Band of Skulls

I first heard about these guys through a friend a couple of years ago, but haven't really followed them up until I got this gig through the Dwarf as part of a feast of Splendor in the Grass sidewshows that are coming through Melbourne at the moment.

I got there nice and early cos I'm a good boy and very trustworthy - then managed to get myself lost in the pub... yep. lost. I stood around for a bit pretending that I am waiting for someone and then sheepshly followed some people who looked like they knew where they were going - and they

did!

I took some photos of the support band Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!, but the lighting was shit and so were the photos - what didn't get deleted in the camera on the tram on the way home got deleted when I put them on the computer. They were a good band though but totally let down by the phenomenon known as 'make-the-support-band-look-shit-ist.

Band of Skulls were awesome - best little band I have seen since Kitty, Daisy and Lewis. From the start to the end it was a rock n' roll show to get your groove on to - and I couldn't move from the front - so I now have 330 photos from one position :)
