Damn they ruled!!!!!!!!!
"Western Battle", "Cloaking", awesome! They gave it all they had, their last gig in New Zealand and their tour. When the guitars crunched and wailed it connected to your nerve control causing spasms of movement. The slower songs like "Similar Assassins" were beautiful painting pictures of colourful random structures in your ears. Ending with the awe inspiring "In This Light Will You Fight Me" started off as a walk on a sunny day by a lake under trees progressing into a wicked choatic storm at night as the band members thrashed about. The singer ended up on a stack of amps playing intensely with a drumstick on the guitar's strings and the bass player jumped off another amp into the crowd. He began to move slowly through to just behind the crowd facing the stage. He then ended up standing on the bar type area on the side of the crowd right wall. Once it was over the crowd kept clapping and cheering, waiting for more. Clapping and waiting. Finally they came out explaining they don't really do encores. A punter cried out "why the fuck not?", the response "they are cheesy". hear hear. "Desert Stretched Before the Sun" found the bass player in the audience watching and the drummer (a very cute female drummer) on vocals as well as the lead singer. A simple beautiful peaceful song. A person was heard exclaiming quite loudly "I want more". I think we all did. But it was not to be. I had to shake all their hands, I think I missed one of them. Seafood, come back please!
Sure some of the above metaphors may be cheesy but it was an awesome night.
I loved them before now I'm infatuated, obsessed, waiting for the come down. I can't sleep.

p.s. AutoZamm are pretty darn stonking good. Check them out if you have the chance.
