Leif Erikson


Description: Often described as the dullest live band in the world, the New York alt rock quartet are infamous for their lack of chit chat during shows and sombre outfits. Fortunately these men are brilliant musicians, so there lack of personality does not bother their fans one bit. The bands first two albums have been nothing short of amazing in particular their sophomore album Antics.

Under The Gun
All These Things That I've Done.

Description: Another band whose albums I find to be rather ordinary but once they hit the stage it’s a completely different story. Hailing from the glitz and glam of Las Vegas this band shows their roots with a blend of synth pop and anthemic rock. On the contrary they are often described as the ‘Greatest UK band to come from the US’. I had the pleasure of seeing these boys on the latest tour of Australia in support of Sam’s Town, this recording is of the band on their debut world tour and the show was hardly 45mins long as they band ripped through a tight set of songs from their first album Hot Fuss.

Powderfinger

Venue: Triple J Studio 227, Sydney

Setlist
Belter
Dont Wanna Be Left Out
Day You Came
Already Gone
Private Man
Passenger
Over My Head
Celebrity Head
Good Day Ray

Description: One of Australia’s premier rock bands, these 5 boys have made some brilliant music over the last decade or so. They have consistently churned out albums of great musicianship and impressive songwriting. Frontman and principal songwriter Bernard Fanning is nothing short of a genius. This gig was held in the very early days of the band’s commercial success off the back of their Internationalist album which many consider as their best. These guys deserve to be one of the biggest bands in the world, their brand of honest straight forward rock is very accessible and it surprises me that they have struggled to strike the big time in the US. Listen out for songs like Passenger and Good Day Ray. I would strongly recommend all rock fans to listen to Vulture Street and Odyssey No.5.

Most famous for his hit song Loser (notably missing from this recording) Beck has gone on to make some very impressive records but never re-captured the mainstream success that Loser won him.

Description: Another recording of a band in its pre-mega-success days, this captures the legendary British rock band in the thick of their so-called “Gothic Phase”. The band had recently released their third studio album Faith and were amidst a massive world tour. Some say this was The Cure at their creative best, at least in terms of Robert Smith’s make up and hair.
