Hello. A lot has happened today but first things first.
I can finally say i'm no longer a virgin to Indie Rock Concert/Gigs. I went for my first ever Indie Rock concert in Perth and actually quite enjoyed it. It was a small affair (that means no mosh pits and things of those kind). The Gig was good because Broken Social Scene (the band i went ot watch) had very good stage presence, the energy level there was fantastic as well because the band was 14 member strong and that meant constant stage movement and rotations. The Guitar playing was sooooo cool as well and i loved the way the special effects were done. For such a huge band, the coordination was well planned out because each of the performers knew just when to begin playing or singing what note. I must say though that i am an amatuer to these "things" and anyone more experienced in these things are free to scoff at my superficial and apparent lack of exposure. hahaha.
Still ... what matters most was that i had a great time!
The stage area wasn't very big, with the swirly patterns being the stage background. The sofas were very lounge like and fun too really. But by the time the concert began, most people gravitated towards the open front area in the Verandah (that's what the location was called).
There was also some mini stage thing at the back by the beer vendors.
This was how close we were to the stage ...
Oh and we met Jill there too. How nice.
Perth Concert Hall at night.
Just to gain Shil's Seal of approval of course.
Getting marked to enter.
Me taking a picture to mark my loss of indierock-ginity and Loy giving one of his numerous condescending looks ...
And to remember the day by.
