Looking for some awesome bands to go see in Sydney over the next few weeks? Well…
Don’t Overthink Bleeding Knees Club, OK?
There’s a new Bleeding Knees Club track up on Soundcloud called “Feel”. You may now feel the need to make a crappy joke about how 1998 is on the phone and Blink-182 want their song back.
This would be an error.
Instead, you should disengage that dumbass bit of your brain that’s telling you, quietly, that you are in some way not allowed to like this record. Instead, you should pay attention to the loud and shrill screaming of your teenage better angel, the one that’s just heard this song and is now noisily urging you down the front to smash your own teeth out on the edge of the stage and use your own frothing mouth-blood as a mixer for the remains of that bottle of Pernod you found at the back of your folks booze cabinet.
Basically, stop being such a tedious fucker. Since Bleeding Knees Club quite patently don’t overthink it, there’s absolutely no decent fucking reason why you should.
How is it possible that he’s in like a gazillion bands, and has not got one fucking song that sucks? Fucker’s not right, I’m telling you. Don’t believe me? Then go see him. FBi Social, 1st March.
DO. IT.
Reminder - it’s Shady Lane’s last residency show at the OAF on Friday. It’s free and will be great, you should go:
This looks like awesome fun! If not only for Running Gun Sound, who fucking rule. Plus, only one band features Jeremy Neale, which makes this a pretty rare show.
Also: I love Jeremy Neale.
Reminder - the rather wonderful Jens Lekman’s playing on Thursday, with the downright fucking brilliant Courtney Barnett in support. Just saying.
No fucking kidding - if you’re in Sydney and not going to this (@ The Annandale, Friday 15th Feb) then I don’t *even* want to know you.
