A long time between gigs // at 11:45
Its five years this week that we've been living in the 'burbs. Its seventeen months since a little boy appeared and any form of nightlife vanished. Its a long time since I've been to a gig!
Johnette Napolitano at the Corner hotel. Dinner at Sylvios' — a large Sylvios' special, garlic bread and a carafe of wine — quick, hot, tasty. Then back down to Swan street to the Corner Hotel. A good night. I thought it better than last time Jo and I went to see her back in 2002, Jo thought that the last time was the better of the two. Singing Midnight Oil's Beds are Burning as the final song of the set — to me oddly reminiscent of Davros singing at one point. Scary voice lady. Other highlights were Ghost Riders in the Sky, and an acoustic/audience participation rendition of Tomorrow Wendy as her encore.
