When I showed 15 mins prior to the advertised start time (midnight on a Sunday), they'd already played most of their set. The twenty mins I caught were great though, had a chat to the guys after, they didn't seem too phased to be playing to 10 (really into it) people, and apparently are coming back Dec/Jan this year. Hopefully a better effort next time around...mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647997359629204883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-64922390800140203872011-04-30T20:47:29.844+10:002011-04-30T20:47:29.844+10:00That was probably the best party I have ever atten...That was probably the best party I have ever attended. I love the Mercat basement as a venue; good setting, amazing sound. And the supports were on-point. All the boxes were ticked.<br /><br />Sandwell? Words can't describe how wonderful that (near) six-hour set was. It will probably take a few days, at least, to process what I experienced. Function and Regis were really into it, and the punters fed off that vibe. I don't know what it will take for a party in Melbourne to surpass last night's. Or whether such a thing is possible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-56674141645109295092011-04-30T15:27:56.744+10:002011-04-30T15:27:56.744+10:00Can confirm booty shakin'Can confirm booty shakin'Will Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052170222074236589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-78752233440636434802011-04-29T23:56:40.685+10:002011-04-29T23:56:40.685+10:00well hot damn! hopefully it sounded good and had t...well hot damn! hopefully it sounded good and had the booty's shakin'! :-Peric cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693995326147972682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-73022336949678560022011-04-29T18:13:59.270+10:002011-04-29T18:13:59.270+10:00@ Eric: I can re-confirm that, yes.

Checked but it's still looking like it'll work out around that pricen - if I had the holiday time to take Friday off I could organise it cheaper but I don't have a single day spare this year. If I had 400 bucks spare I'd be all over it! I've been known to do that sort of thing before :) The way I see it, that's a half of my ticket to Japan in September, and I reckon that's gotta be the priority while I'm living on this side of the globe!<br /><br />Should have planned better, I didn't even think to look out for a Melbourne sideshow, I'll be doing that in future!daragh99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06376195624456291966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-65085047138693859882011-04-27T17:41:30.346+10:002011-04-27T17:41:30.346+10:00@ daragh: webjet isn't always cheapest.

A quick look at webjet indicates 250 bucks to get there and back at reasonable/doable times... can probably double that by the time other expenses are thrown in... if I didn't have a European jaunt happening very soon (plus the Labyrinth fund just opened), or had planned properly I'd be on it. Dammit! Although that said I'll still have another look tomorrow night...daragh99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06376195624456291966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-86587783811859531372011-04-27T16:42:21.653+10:002011-04-27T16:42:21.653+10:00@ daragh: so... check last min. plane tix prices? ...@ daragh: so... check last min. plane tix prices?

Much as I would love to see them (and boy, would I), I can't subject myself to that, even if there are a couple of other half decent/historically interesting acts on the lineup.
