We Will All Sing The Same Song

Hark! Long time no blog town. For the lack of material to have a decent rant I haven’t updated this in a few weeks. Not that this passage of bullshit will be better, I’ve just had time to ponder the universe and the mechanisms around which it operates while walking around listening to Michael Jackson at work.

The weekend just gone I was lucky enough to head to the fine state of NSW to play a run of shows with Wish for Wings and Buried in Verona. Any fellow traveler knows that the trip between Adelaide in Sydney is nothing short of a cunt. There’s nothing to look at bar salt bush and dirt. Awesome.


However, it does give the mind a chance to think and discuss all things musical en route. I managed to pick up Shai Hulud’s “A comprehensive Retrospect..” for dirt cheap prior to leaving my beloved state and was stoked to find a thorough documentation of how the band started and the history behind each track. It’s amazing to see this band still punishing, keeping the same purpose after 15 years and the integrity matt fox has kept since the bands inception.

Their work ethic boggled my mind quite a bit, and considering most bands now have a myspace and flashy promo shots to go with it before actually writing a single riff it was refreshing to see it is possible to get music heard based on an idea as opposed to writing a shit single and aiming for the charts ala Sway Sway Baby Cool.
