Wooooo yesterday Marrickville council held a free concert in a park for Youth Week...I tend to ramble so I'll just summarise.

Itu - a woman with a nice voice, a guitar and a dude playing unusual percussion. Pretty nice but at that stage there were only about 20 people in the park and nobody was particularly into it.

The Accidents- ugliest band ever.

78 Saab- WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Even though I only have the Beat Of Your Drum EP, and most of the songs they played were from the album, I enjoyed it a lot. Yess we were sitting on the hard hard grass right in the front 8) haha. Although they weren't particularly charismatic or crowd-engaging (except for the tambourinist who also played a bit of keyboard - he was one awesome dancer), the audience seemed to really enjoy it. :D They were the best...no bias there. Woo so after their set I went and got a photo with three of them, but they were all like "Yes photo, sure, but we have to still be able to drink our beer" except I didn't really have anything to say to them so hmm :?

ANYWAY they were followed by the Redsunband who my friend had been whining about but I liked them...although it wasn't exactly park music. I dunno man. Not a lot to say about them :?

Lastly were the Cops. At this point, a weird, very drunk old man was dancing right in front of the stage, soon to be joined by a couple of my friends, and that was a bit distracting (so was the pain of sitting on the grass/dirt for a few hours). They were really fun though, really enjoyable. I liked them except I think it was just the vibe they created - if I were to listen to them now, in a totally different environment I'd probably be bored. Or weirded out, who knows.

Goddamn that wasn't brief. It wasn't particularly interesting either. Except for the 78 Saab bit hehe :)
