saw The Brian Jonestown Massacre at the HI FI in sydney on thursday night. wow! what a show,

these guys, especially Anton, are inspirational to me and i love all of their works. was good to

see these guys again...it was more of a oldies..or, greatest hits show, with most songs taken from tepid peppermint wonderland but amazing nonetheless. i was interested to hear newer works, but an album is on the way in 2014 so i guess another tour will hopefully be on the cards...the band was hear to co-headline merideth music fest with Deerhunter..(I'm sure that wuda been a mad show!) was good to see all the old faces..with Matt H, Joel, Frankie, Ricky and even Rob Campenella making the trip, Anton was in full mysterious, enigmatic swing donning sunglasses on stage and not saying a great deal.

i got onto the after party @ brighton up bar, oxford st. where Ricky DJd a fucking mental set of sonic wave/dirty electronica all from China! i was blown away, best set/club music I've ever heard. the room was small, ricky was cutting sic shapes behind the tables, and the peeps were movin', fucking cool shit...i talked to matt hollywood and met Frankie and Ricky for the first time...super nice guys who had time for everyone and were genuinely having a good time....respect guys!

also met Matt j Tow (frontman of the Lovetones, and past member/songwriter for BJM)...what a fucking amazing guy..super modest and just a beautiful human..we shared a cigarette out the front and chatted for about half hour..an amazing night...
