Smith Street Band. Thanks for not skipping canberra
One of the highlights of my year, The atmosphere was awesome! and for such a small gig in a canberra pub- I wasn't expecting it to get so rowdy. By the encore, half the crowd was a mosh pit, and the other half where crowd surfing on top of them!
They played all their best stuff from the new album like 'surrender', as well as some classic favourites like 'young drunk' and 'don't fuck with our dreams'. Best music to drink to on the market. I didn't come across a single person who wasn't into it- Everyone seemed ready to grab a stranger and yell lyrics with them before jumping into the most energetic friendly mosh environment ever.
Best night in a long time, make sure to check them out. They seem to attract a good fun style of fan, and they are one of those bands that sound 10 times better live than on the radio or itunes (or wherever the kids do these days).
Also be sure to get them on Vinyl- They sell for between 15 to 20 each at their gigs, and not only are they a band that sound much better on vinl than CD, the records themselves look really unique!
Awesome night out, would recommend to anyone who's into this style of music, and I would recommend beers before hand - They come out punching with the good stuff, so don't expect to wait till the end to hear your favourites, they mix em up the whole way through!
