powdies/sfk - suburban fables

[paintbrushes]

well last night i saw powdies and sfk @ the hordern in sydney on the suburban fables tour. i wasnt excited at all up until thurs night when it finally kicked in i was gonna see sfk. ive seen them many times before, but i usually get really excited when i see them. anyway.... sfk were amazing, ofcourse, they played alot off echolalia (ofcourse) aswell as hallways  whatever you want... and like bankrobbers!! i was hoping they would because my cousin bootlegged one of their "echo-la-la-lia" shows and the version of like banrobbers is awesome. i was completely blown away by sfk.

but powderfinger on the other hand were shit... more than shit. ive seen them twice before (splendour in the grass and on their last big tour). i couldnt believe how boring and un-entertaining they were. i found myself playing with my wristband more than actually watching the band and i was right on the barrier with an un-restricted view.

lucky sfk were good, otherwise it wouldve been $40 blown. i was thinking of going to the show on nov6 but now im not too sure because although id pay $40 to see sfk (id pay ALOT if i had to), itd be waste cause they only play for 40mins.

[sam]

did he do a solo or did they do pinstripe?

[paintbrushes]

no solo no pinstripe they played:
whatever yew want
like bankrobbers
monsters
3dimensions
twenty years
jerry stand up
you only hide
hallways
seasick

im pretty sure that was it, i cant think of anything else they played... a pretty normal setlist though. i was expecting them all, but yer - wouldve liked a solo or pinstripe or something a little different.

[sam]

man too much echolalia ...

(then all the stuff you wrote)

Boring and un-entertaining my arse. Smeh. I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion.

And in other news, I'm leaving for Adelaide tomorrow.. So guess I'll talk to yas all later, and see some of you at the gig on Saturday. Wohoo. )

then other reply's-


-They're Just JELOUS!!!

.:burger naa naa na naa naa queen:.


-i was at the Hordern gig on Saturday night and i would have thought it was the other way round...

i have seen SFK a few times, but last night they looked pretty uninterested - i was pretty disapointed in them.

powderfinger on the other hand kicked arse. fantastic


-it shits me that someone would be up on the barrier if they were so bored by it all. get down the back and let the ppl that want to be there be up the front.

heheh Painstbrushes, your unintentionally stirring shit on the Powdies msg board!, I don't think they liked your review!
I wasn't there but somehow I don't think that SFK would have been uninteresting bah! SFK rock :-) hehe I so cant wai for Channel V oh and the peoples wrote back and said that it will prob start 5  or 6?

Thursday nites melb show was awesome.  SFK rocked and it was cool when paul started rubbing his guitar strings  the mike.  Powderfinger rocked and they played fo about an hour and a half.  I guess the person who saw them in sydney caught them at a bad show, but hey its Sydney

[paintbrushes]

mwhehehe how cool!! i wouldve moved so people who wanted to actuall watch the band could get in but a) i was with friends and had stuff of theirs in my bag that i had to give to them that night, and b) if the group of about 10 gerls behind me wouldve moved i woulve got out, i tried once but they wouldnt move. i was going to jump the barrier and walk around the back of the crowd and watch from there, but i couldnt be fucked doing that. hehe. i think i might go post on the powdies board now... not gonna stir up more shit. just explain myself. but sneh. powderfinger shit me more now. ohh and i liked the comeback of "theyre just jealous". what would i have been jealous of? if my band (if i had one) put on a show like that, id be embarrassed. not jealous.

bossman - that was so rock of paul (the guitar rubbing on the mic thing). he probably does it all the time i guess.

[Chris_Jebs]

Just think yourselves lucky to see these bands. Seeing i dont live in a capital city or near one I dont have the option to see great bands like SFK and Powderfinger. We get about 3 or 4 good aussie bands up here each year. This year we have seen Frenzal Rhomb, Jebediah, and Regurgitator. I wish I could see more live bands. I think some people are spoilt with live music and are too critical.

Why the hell did you add the   to my post? What is that supposed to mean?

>>powderfinger shit me more now. ohh and i liked the comeback of "theyre just jealous". what would i have been jealous of? if my band (if i had one) put on a show like that, id be embarrassed.<<

I'm not even going to bother responding to that comment. Fine if you don't like their music but it's bullshit saying they can't put on a good show. As I said in my other post everyone's entitled to their opinions but you don't have to make up crap just because you don't like a certain band.

Jess

Probably shouldn't be replying in my current overtired jetlagged state but fuck it.

[Sarah]

hey Jess I didin't know it was you on the Powdies board first off and I didin't deliberately add that smily face thing to your post
I was just cut and pasting and some things might have just been pasted together that made that smily face hehe I don't ewven know what it is supossed to mean!
nyways I just cut and posted everything that was said like evything Paintbrushes said was posted over there
I made sure I included the stuff after in your post which had everyone is entitled to their own opinion which shows you have some cred, but soem of the other replies, just jealous?? ehhhh!? but as you said everyone is entitled to their own opinion :-)
hope you get over the jet lag
I didin't mean for you to get pissed off I was just showing what other poeples thought of the of the original post!
see ya

[Magic_Dirtsta]

Sarah! your coming to Adelaide and you didnt tell me! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[paintbrushes]

looky here.... i thought powderfinger put on a shit show, so i voiced my opinion, maybe yew didnt think they did, but i did so get over it. i didnt make up any shit either. what the fuck are yew on?
p.s. i dont think yew can get jet-lagged from an interstate trip?

[Bree To Blame]

I still love Powderfinger, dont get me wrong, but theyve lost a lot of the energy and on-stage presence that they had a few years ago when "Internationalist" was realeased. I saw them at a gig just after Internationalist hit the shelves, and they were fantastic - jumping around and getting into it, even changing words to their songs and stuff like that, conversing with the crowd - a bit of interaction... but then, i had the misfortune to see them at the 2000 BDO... it was very stuffed shirt kind of affair. The "We play - you listen" kind of gig. No fun. No thrill. No interactions.

Its about this time when I start thinking of that horrible two syllable two part word...

[Sarah]

heheh no I am not comign too adelaid I wish :-)
hehe I will tell you all if I was goign too :-) it was just a message I cut and pasted from Jess's message
by the way cool nic go Magic dirt hehehe!
R U goign to see them in Adelaide on the 11th Nov?
all ages and everythign I am very jealous hehe
they did 2 shows here with Ratcat both Over 18's :-(
but BDO though if they tour I will go there and ditch BDO so expensive!
Oh and Jebs Toommorrow so excited yayaya!
