Thousand Needles in Red

Jon Stockman - Floating Me

16 July 2011

I took the above two photos on my Nokia 6300 mobile phone (with subsequent cropping and colour adjustments in iPhoto).

I love Floating Me‘s music, and their live show was fantastic.

Their bassist Jon Stockman is from the amazing band Karnivool, who I saw a month ago.  And Floating Me’s drummer Lucius Borich comes from the band Cog - yet another example of awesome Australian music.

Thousand Needles in Red put on a great show.  Their vocalist Clint Boge is also in the incredible Aussie band The Butterfly Effect.

Photo taken on an iPhone.

I was very happy I managed to say “Hi” to Floating Me’s singer Andrew Gillespie after their set. This is photographic proof! He was a member of the 1990s band Scary Mother… a little before my time (I was a little kid in the 90s) but I’ve looked up some of their clips on youtube.com and from the sounds of it they were pretty amazing.

Floating Me – Sugar

Thousand Needles in Red – Brand New Day

And, for extended listening educational purposes…

Scary Mother – Lord of the Flies

The Butterfly Effect – 7 Days

Karnivool – Simple Boy

Cog – Bird of Feather

Karnivool

 11 June 2011.

Apple iPhone photo.

Ferntree Gully Hotel, Melbourne, Australia.

To say that Karnivool are amazing is an understatement. Their music, their lyricism, their live show, all amazing! To add to their awesomeness, they are one of many examples of the brilliance of Australian music. (Speaking as a highly biased Australian, of course!)

Their music has really grabbed my attention and spoken to me in ways that few bands could ever manage.
