ummm hayley, just checked and yeah as you say, she is .. going to be interesting how they get an 80 piece orchestra on the stage they have there ;-) maybe I'll pop along to that one too, see how it pans out.

The guillemotts were great, always liked them, great energy on stage and great musos, they had a guest appearance from Martha wainwright, she was pretty good, not heard her before. The last song was just a mass of noise I liked it :-).
The girl up first Lykke Li was okay, didn't really listen to be honest, too busy getting drinks and finding our way around the club .. like a labyrinth ! still managed the find the JD bar tho :-))) !

Off to a BBQ tonight and I think an all night session of sic fi B movies .. That's if I last that long, got work tomorrow too !

Jesus Robsta, I know what you mean but I was trying to cut it down to a few kiwi highlights Funny you mention Jet they turned up in a random playlist during the weekend...snapped.
Psychobilly sounds intriguing, I had to google that handle, only to realise that I had been thrashing 'th legendary shack shakers" cool.
Now the thing about Humble Pie, is that I missed them when I went through my classic dad rock phase, sure i got the whole Frampton comes alive..."do you feel like I do", but recently I heard "live at whiskey a gogo..walk on guilded spintlers" and had to ask who the fk is this? Classic.
My grunge fill has been satisfied with a Melvins /Jello Biafra - Seig Howdy. with an updated DKs "California Uber Alles hmmm I've also been playing a bit of that Virus 1000 Alternative Tentacles DK covers album from the early 90's. Oh Chris Cornell does a Billie Jean cover as well, not that I have really enjoyed any of his output since Badmotorfinger, "cos people always told me, be careful of what you do".
Other than that I've revisited other classic's i missed in the early ninetys,... FSOL & The Orb, Spiritualized, mainly prog & ambi dub freaks..oh and some folkish, new and old. Bonnie Prince Billy & Davy Graham/Nick Drake
