Soundwave Festival, Olympic Park, Sydney 26 February 2012


Soundwave is a very daunting task when think about trying to plan your day.  The festival which boasts 6 stages and 90 odd bands there is defiantly a risk of clashes and missing someone fantastic.  I arrived at Olympic Park to find a very large line waiting to get through the gates.  The line was right back to the entrance of the Olympic Park Station.  Thinking this didn't sound like the funniest thing I could be doing so following the rest of my train I mixed into the crowd near the front.  This still didn't mean that would get in for another 30 minutes due to some overzealous security. 

I heard the beginning of Chimaira’s set while in line and once in caught the rest of their set.  Chimaira put on a good show and are a nice mixture of Death Metal and Groove Metal.  Not really all that different to allot of the bands in their genre but a nice way to warm into the day.

Chimaira Setlist:
TBC
Due to a last minute timetable change Turisas where now on the smaller stage 7.  I made my way to catch the end of their set only to find they hadn’t started yet.  I’m not sure what the reason for this was but there was a crowd of dedicated followers get very restless.  The band finally came out with only 20 minutes of their scheduled set remaining and to their credit stuck to their slot.  At festivals there is nothing worse than a band running overtime due technical issues or running over time.  Turisas were a trip.  The band is dress in battle dress with Red and Black Stripped body paint.  Musically the song are anthemic power metal with fist in the air chorus’.  I have never heard a note of music from this band or read anything about them so when they broke out a cover of Boney M’s Rasputin I got very confused.  The melody was very familiar and when the chorus came in that it all clicked.  Tarisas were allot of fun and are a band you just have to go with and not think too much about it.    

Tarisas Setlist:
The March of the Varangian Guard
The Great Escape
To Holmgard and Beyond
Rasputin
Battle Metal

Next on the program was Steel Panther in the main stadium with a big crowd to see the bands first ever set in Sydney.  Steel Panther are a comedy act that is so on the mark that it is almost and embarrassment to enjoy their set.  Each band member in character from the get go with Vocalist Michael Starr and Guitarist Satchel being the ring masters and lead jokers.  Unfortunately like most musical comedy acts and glam rock bands the songs fall flat and don’t warrant (pun intended) repeat visits but in a live setting they absolutely fit the purpose.  Songs from the band’s first album Feel The Steel work best and seem to be sharper than songs from the bands second album Balls Out.  Highlights include Asian Hooker, Community Property and closer Death To All But Metal.

Steel Panther Setlist:
Eyes Of A Panther
Tomorrow Night
Just Like Tiger Woods
Asian Hooker
Gold-Digging Whore
Community Property
17 Girls In A Row
The Shocker
Death To All But Metal

After picking up some food and checking out the Merch I made my way to check out Meshuggah.  Shadows Fall were a few songs from the end of their set really didn’t do much for me.  I’ll be honest and say I don’t follow nearly as many metal bands as I use to and bands like Shadow Fall are the reason.  No variation from the form.

Shadow Fall Setlist:
The Power of I and I
Still I Rise
Destroyer of Senses
Fire From the Sky
King of Nothing
Stepping Outside the Circle
The Light That Blinds

Meshuggah certainly don’t suffer from that problem.  I was keen to check this band out because I had heard that they played with some wild time signatures.  The songs the band plays are extremely confusing but at the same time fascinating and brutal.  Vocalist Jens Kidman convulses on stage like he is being thrown around by the grooves and signatures the rest of the band are playing.  This is not the kind of music you can just jump around and have some good fun it is intense and extremely challenging.  Though I think they struggled in a Festival situation they put on a show that was highly original.  Definitely worth checking out.

Meshuggah Setlist:
Rational Gaze
Pravus
New Millennium Cyanide Christ
Combustion
Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion
Bleed

The recently reformed Coal Chamber was up next.  I had quite a fondness for this band back in the day but time hasn’t been kind to their kind of music.  They sounded very thin live and the songs really didn’t sound interesting in a live setting.  The band played their biggest songs as the first three songs by which time Muggs started having power issues with his guitars.  Dez’s posturing and empty threats to the stage staff were disappointing and unnecessary.  They struggles through a few more power outages and went 10 minutes overtime because of it.  As I have previously mentioned this annoys me in general but at a festival it’s the worst.  I hope that the Coal Chamber boys and girl are having some fun on this little tour but you time has long since passed.

Coal Chamber Setlist:
Loco
Big Truck
Fiend
Rowboat
Not Living
I
Something Told Me
Oddity
Sway

In Flames was everything that Coal Chamber was not.  This band is extremely tight and on point with their songs.  Their melodic Death Metal sound worked great in this setting and being the pros they are they played a tight set which closed the overrun Coal Chamber had left them.  Good lads.  The band the crowd had a blast and I will definitely be checking out more from this band.

In Flames Setlist:
Sounds of a Playground Fading
Deliver Us
The Mirror's Truth
Fear Is the Weakness
The Quiet Place
Where the Dead Ships Dwell
Cloud Connected
Take This Life

The only real clash I had was with Kittie and Mastodon.  Seeing as I was seeing Mastodon’s Sidewave later in the week went and saw Kitties set the headed back for the remainder of Mastodon's set. 

Being fairly early for Kittie I checked out In This Moment the band on before them.  The band is aimed directly at teenage boys.  Musically they play some fairly generic metal core that I’m sure their target market thinks is seriously heavy but really isn’t.  And to be honest really isn’t terribly interesting.  But to sweeten the prospect they have added in a buxom blond to sing and growl.  I really didn’t get much from this bands set and was glad when it was over.  It does confuse me why

In This Moment Setlist:
Just Drive
Blazin
Standing Alone
Blood
Gunshow

Kittie were wedge between In This Moment and Black Veil Brides.  Just saying.
Even though Kittie are an all girl Metal band they are not a gimmick and they are not the kind of band you say they are good for girls.  Kittie are a great live band and to be honest would have been better placed taking Coal Chamber's slot on the Metal stages.  From the opening strains of the title track of their latest album I Failed You until the closer of this brief set We Are The Lamb they didn’t let up.  The only disappointment was they due to technical issues and the previous bands overrun the band had to cut a song or two from their set.  An all but too sort set from a great band.  
Kittie Setlist:
I've Failed You
My Plague
Look So Pretty
Never Again
We Are the Lamb


I dashed back to the metal stages to catch the remainder of Mastodon's Set.  Mastodon are probably my favourite metal band only being trumped by my favourite band of all time Sepultura.  What I like about this band is that they are doing something different with the genre.  Having watched a number of live performances there was a worry that the vocal might not be the best.  Thankfully there was no issue with that at this performance.  The vocals were strong and on the mark.  Of what I saw Aqua Dementia, Blood And Thunder and Creature Lives were the highlights of the set.  Bring on Thursday!

Mastodon Setlist:
Dry Bone Valley
Black Tongue
Crystal Skull
Megalodon
Thickening
Blasteroid
All the Heavy Lifting
Spectrelight
Curl of the Burl
Bedazzled Fingernails
Circle of Cysquatch
Aqua Dementia
Crack the Skye
Blood and Thunder
Creature Lives 


I only saw part of Marilyn Manson’s set but to put it bluntly it awful.  Brian was completely off his face on drugs or Alcohol or something and was looking like they had just dragged out of the gutter to do the show.  In between songs there were streams of incoherent ramblings before the band, who by the way were very good, put us out of our misery and played another song for Brian to make odd noises over.  I have only seen one performer absolutely fail worse in a live setting (The Scare opening for Die!Die!Die! at the Oxford Art Factory) but luckily for them it was in front of 100 people not 20,000 people.  Hope you enjoyed it Brian because I find it hard to believe anyone else did.

Marilyn Manson Setlist:
Antichrist Superstar
Disposable Teens
The Love Song
Little Horn
The Dope Show
Rock Is Dead
Personal Jesus
mOBSCENE
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
1996
The Beautiful People

I've seen Slipknot before and was disappointed.  Not with the band but the sound was absolutely terrible at their Melbourne Big Day Out performance in 2005.  So I was hoping for a better experience and to really get to enjoy their songs along with their live show.  For the most extent the sound was great but did get very muddy in places.  As a live band Slipknot are an over loading of information.  With 8 people on stage, who for the most part don’t stand still, and a set that includes rising platforms and fire there is allot to take in.  The next time that KISS claim to have the greatest show on earth I can confidently call bullshit on it because being a fan of both bands and having seen them live Slipknot are better no contest.  The set was really strong with very few lulls (Pulse of The Maggots being disappointing) with songs mostly taken from the bands first two albums including my personal favourite Iowa.  The highlights of the set for me were Eyeless, Before I Forget, People = Shit & Surfacing.  Fantastic set from a band that everyone interested in heavy music or music in general should set live at least once.

Slipknot Setlist:

The Blister Exists

Surfacing

My last set of the night was System Of A Down.  System Of A Down are a band that can at times be very inconsistent.  When they hit their highs they a fantastic but they can at times lean towards the mediocre.  With the stage fronted with a white and Black System Of A Down banner the band broke into Prison Song.  It was fantastic and set the mood for the set.  The highlights were definitely tracks from the bands first two albums were played.  For me the set did drag in places and unfortunately exposed the weakness of the bands catalogue as it currently stands.  The set ended on a high with the last four songs being fantastic especially the jazz metal of Sugar.      

System Of A Down Setlist:
Prison Song
Soldier Side - Intro
B.Y.O.B.
Revenga

Deer Dance

As a day I was entertained and was definitely not left wanting when it came to live bands to check out.  As an event Soundwave like last year’s Harvest Festival was really well run and thought about.  Little things like shelter and space were obviously thought about and delivered in a way that the other event that happens in the same location in January could learn from.

A Quest for Prog 27: Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick


"A Quest for Prog" is a series of 50 Progressive Rock reviews to be written over a year.  The band selection is taken from the book in the first post on this blog.  And the albums I am reviewing is based on the highest user ratings for each band on Progarchives.com.

Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick (1972)
Produced by Ian Anderson

Ian Anderson – Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Flute, Violin, Trumpet & Saxophone
Martin Barre – Electric Guitar & Lute
John Evan – Piano, Organ & Harpsichord
Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond – Bass Guitar & Vocals
Barriemore Barlow – Drums, Percussion & Timpani

Track listing:
Side One:
01. Thick as a Brick, Part I (22:40)
Side Two:
01. Thick as a Brick, Part II (21:06)

Released in 1972 “Thick as a Brick” is the Fifth album by English band Jethro Tull.   The band formed in 1967 by Ian Anderson, Glenn Cornick, Mick Abrahams and Clive Bunker.  During the bands early days they could constantly change their name due to the lack of repeat bookings.  The band happened to be using Jethro Tull when they were offered a return booking.  Originally a Blues band Tull have over their career made Progressive Rock, Folk, Synth Rock and Hard Rock records.  The bands highpoint is regarded as being the Aqualung album which included live favourites Locomotive Breath, Crosseyed Mary and Aqualung.  Still is together and tours with Anderson and long term guitarist Martin Barre along with a revolving cast of musicians.     

“Thick as A Brick” is essentially one 40 minute song split over two sides of an LP hence the two parts. 
“Thick as a Brick, Part I” is the more structured of the two parts.  It begins with acoustic guitars and Flute which plays the main theme of the piece which is a kind of jaunty folk melody.  The recording is very dynamic with instrumentation making brief appearances.  The stripped back folky part of this tune gives way as the full band comes in on a passage similar to the uptempo tracks on Aqualung.  The Guitars, Flute and Keyboards work really well together and play off and around each other.  After an Organ solo the tune slows down into a more bluesy passage around the 6 minute mark that is reminiscent of the bands earlier work on This Was and Stand Up.  There is nice Flute Solo in this section and Ian’s voice is really strong.  The song at this point is moving between passages that showcase different instruments such as a Guitar Solo stylistically similar to Ace Frehley of Kiss.  Into a Keyboard let section with some really nice interlocking melodies with Ian’s Flute.  The signature theme returns around the 12 minute mark with some playing that make it sounds like a victorious military theme.  This section marches on and again the main the returns to herald a section that sounds like a lost Cat Stevens tune.  This part ends with horns and flute and a reprisal of a number of themes in this part. 
Flipping over the record we get “Thick As A Brick, Part II”.  This part much looser and has much more of a Jam feel to it.   Beginning with wind sounds and distant guitars the band comes in we move into quite a Jazz section.  The track gets psychedelic before breaking into a decent drum solo.  Drum solo’s for the most part on record are quite redundant and should be kept for the live setting.  This is no exception and does outstay it’s welcome.  The solo bring the band into quite an Avant-Garde section which is quite interesting.  The main theme returns with the same backing as the start of part 1 but with a completely different melody.  This melody is quite good but doesn’t have the delivery of the original.  A medieval passage with some nice guitars and pianos follows.  Ian’s vocals are probably the most adventurous and progressive I have ever heard them.  This part reminded me of Pentangle but with an uneasy and almost claustrophobic feeling to it.  The flutes and some Harpsichord feature as the song progresses this is all underpinned by some nice rolling drums.  This part is very jammy and does go on far too long.  The part ends with a return again to the main theme and it ends where it first started. 

This album for being a pastiche of Progressive music of its time is still a stellar example of the genre.  The band is on top of their game here and even though at point’s it certainly does drag on it is still a great album.  Is this the best Jethro Tull record? almost.  Is it worth check out? definitely.  Especially if you can get your hands on the excellent Newspaper Vinyl Gatefold.

A Quest for Prog 25: IQ – Ever


"A Quest for Prog" is a series of 50 Progressive Rock reviews to be written over a year.  The band selection is taken from the book in the first post on this blog.  And the albums I am reviewing is based on the highest user ratings for each band on Progarchives.com.


IQ – Ever (1993)
Produced by Mike Holmes


John Jowitt - Bass, Pedalboard [Moog Taurus Bass Pedals] & Backing Vocals 
Paul Cook - Drums 
Martin Orford - Keyboards, Mellotron, Synthesizer, Flute & Backing Vocals 
Mike Holmes - Guitar 
Peter Nicholls - Vocals 


Track listing:
01. The Darkest Hour (10:52)
02. Fading Senses (6:36)
      i. After All
      ii.Fading Senses
03. Out Of Nowhere (5:10)
04. Further Away (14:31)
05. Leap Of Faith (7:22)
06. Came Down (5:56)


Released in 1993 “Ever” is the sixth album by English band IQ.  The band was formed by Mike Holmes and Martin Oxford in 1981.  The band along with Marillion, Pendragon, Twelfth Night, Pallas, Quasar and Solstice the were part of the Neo-Progressive movement which was accused of simply copying other bands styles.  The band is still active and recently celebrated their 30th anniversary.


The album begins with the 11 minute long “The Darkest Hour”.  The song is and upbeat and technical song that sounds like a mix of Dream Theater and Joe Satriani.  Production wise this song is very similar to allot of Progressive Rock records in the early 90’s with a few 80’s tracks thrown in.  The vocals are decent but are fairly bland.  Van Hagar fans might get something out of this song.  The song drags and lost any interest closer to the end. 
The two part “Fading Senses” begins with the Power Ballad “After All” section.  The track starts with some nice keyboards and guitar before moving in to a very dull Radio song.  That being said the vocals are stronger on this track.  Part two “Fading Senses” is slightly heavier with a mix of Sci-fi and funk.  This part is a bit more interesting with a darker feel to it but is still fairly dull.
The tone of the record continues with the Stadium Rock track “Out Of Nowhere”.  This is a plodding MOR song that fit’s in line with 80’s Yes.  The song has a few interesting movements with the tracking jumping around.  The vocals and the lyrics are pretty terrible on this one.
The longest song on the album “Further Away” follows.  This intro to this song has the most interesting instrumentation of any song on this album.  Beginning with a rolling keyboard line and flutes stylistically this section similar to Simon and Garfunkel.  Unfortunately after 3 minutes the song moves into familiar territory.  The track is heavier than previous tunes and has allot more energy and quite a nice groove.  The keyboards have a Sci-Fi feel and for some reason this song reminded me of Peter Gabriel musically.  They keyboard solo is pretty terrible and beyond this point the song slows and get very dull.  A few interesting moments that could have been whittled down into a few short songs but not a 14 minute track. 
In what could only be an 80’s Ballad “Leap Of Faith” follows.  There is so much contrived emotion on this track.  Not much more to say about this one than dull.
The album finishes on “Came Down”.  This track is a very straight forward MOR Radio song.  The technicality of earlier songs is completely missing here.  This is as bland as it comes. 
This album was such a dull experience to get through and write about that maybe this review should be on a white background with white writing.  This album delivered so little to me and seems like some talented musicians attempting to travel the road paved with gold and I gather failing.

The Weezer Cruise Day 4 & 5 - Carnival Destiny 22-23 January 2012

Day 4 22nd January 2012 (Sea Day)

Today was the last full day on the Cruise and the last day of activites.  We gave Scott’s vow renewal a miss so our first show of the day was Yuck on the Lido Deck.  Yuck are quite different to every other band on this bill with a Shoegazer/Pavement feel.  Seeing pasty English folk standing on an open stage on a Cruise ship was amusing but they put on a good show.  There songs are understated and have a breezy feel to them but they also quite likes some noise.  It’s an interesting mix that got people dancing.

Yuck Setlist:
TBA

Nervous Wreckords followed a little later on the Lido Deck.  Bands like Nervous Wreckords come and go on a regular basis.  The band is essentially a 70’s rock throwback with stomping riffs and soloing.  There is allot of charisma and allot of confidence in the band but I wouldn’t run out and buy an album or see them on their own.  One thing I would say is that they have a phenomenal drummer that any band looking for a drummer should seriously look at stealing this guy.  

Nervous Wreckords Setlist:
TBA

The Cruise photo and Weezer Q&A followed.  The Q&A for the most part was very light and didn’t really get allot of a response from the band.  The band did try and give as much as they could but the questions didn’t give them much to go on.  In comparison to River’s Pinkerton Diaries Q&A which had no screening and more interesting questions it seemed like a missed opportunity.

Wavves on the Casino Stage followed.  Wavves are getting alot of buzz in Australia so even though I hadn’t heard much from them I wanted to check them out.  Wavves are quite fun but very one note in the same way that Jay Reatard was but not nearly as interesting.  Vocalist and guitarist Nathan Williams is writing some nice enough tunes but still has some growing up to do.  There is a problem that some bands suffer where they need to know their limits and for Wavves 30 minutes is plenty after which things start to drag. 

Wavves Setlist:
TBA

After dinner I went and checked out Keepaway at the Criterion Lounge.  This band is quite an odd arrangement with a drummer using his floor tom in place of a bass drum and playing over programmed drum beats.  The other two members cover the guitars and keyboards.  The best way to describe the band are an indie Police.  A strange mix of Reggae, Drum & Bass and Indie Guitar music.  Their sound didn’t do alot for me but it was certainly interesting and I wouldn’t write this band off right now.   

Keepaway Setlist:
TBA

The hardest working man on the ship Lou Barlow's 7th and final set of the Cruise was with Sebadoh at the Palladium Lounge.  Playing a very similar set to the Lido Deck show but in a much nicer venue.  Lou had some trouble at the start of the set with a particularly noisy guitar amp.  He struggled through his songs with the quieter moments being drowned out by buzz.  Ironically the problem was fixed by the time Jason moved to guitar for his first set of noisy punk tunes.  The band seemed allot looser and seemed to happy to go with the flow not letting Jason’s Guitar and Bass breakages phase them.  Another great set.

Sebadoh Setlist:
Too Pure
On Fire
Skull
Rebound
Ocean
Magnet's Coil
S. Soup
Mind Reader
Got It
Love To Fight
Drag Down
The Freed Pig
Licence to Confuse
Sister
Drama Mine
Crystal Gypsy
Careful
Bird in the Hand
Soul And Fire
Not A Friend
Beauty of the Ride
Sixteen
Give Up
New Worship
Brand New Love

Ozma were the final band on the cruise and a band I still hadn’t seen so it was off to the Criterion Lounge.  Prior to this cruise I had no idea who Ozma were and what they sounded like.  I quickly realized after conversations on the ship that they held a certain place in a generation’s heart in this country.  The faithful were out for this last show and emoted, swayed and jumped along to the set.  I’m not sure if I missed something but for me the band where pretty light indie pop.  The material went from strong angular power pop tunes to some dull first generation emo tunes (I’m talking Emo Diaries not My Chemical Romance here).  The band finished off their set with a solid cover of The Rentals Friend's of P which for me was a really interesting way to finish off a Weezer Cruise. 

Ozma Setlist:
TBA

Then it was back to the room to back and get some sleep before our departure in Miami the following morning.

Day 5 23rd January 2012 (Last Morning - Miami, Florida)

It’s always a risk when you wait a long time to see a band.  Chances are they wont live up to expectations but thankfully Weezer delivered the goods.  Along with the other bands on the bill this was a fantastic experience and there was a tinge of sadness as we left the ship.  This Cruise had been a real treat and well worth the distance travelled to get to Miami. 
I have to say that Sixthman did a fantastic job to put together an event that really made sure everyone had a great time and wasn’t just about making a buck.

The Weezer Cruise Day 3 - Carnival Destiny 21 January 2012


Day 3 21st January 2012 (Cozumel, Mexico)

Today was our stop in Cozumel, Mexico.  From 7am until 6pm we were free to explore the area on organized excursions or on our own.  We took a trip to Passion Island for some time on the beach. 
Tequila was drunk, corn chips and guacamole were eaten before we reboarded the ship for our trip back to Miami. 
Dinosaur Jr played the sail away show on this leg of the trip.  I took ear plugs along even though this was outside on the Lido Deck and I’m glad I did.  The amount of makeshift ear plugs by staff and punters was astounding and quite amusing.  Even more amusing was the guy who kept asking for J to turn his guitar up.  The band seemed much more relaxed compared to their previous show.  Even cracking jokes at each other and the crowd.  The set was similar to the Palladium Lounge show but featured an amazing version of Mountain Man.  Probably the greatest moment of the set was during this song when the captain blew the boats horn as we left port.  Possibly the only thing louder than Dinosaur Jr but it somehow it fit.  

Dinosaur Jr Setlist:
TBA

After heading to the dining room for some dinner we decided to visit the Box Office to see if there was any way we could get tickets to the second Palladium show.  We hadn’t been lucky enough to get tickets to the second Weezer Palladium show but thought that we would try our luck.  At the box office we had a chat with the Sixthman representative who said “you’re a long way from home” and looked through a stack of tickets.  He said “unfortunately there are no extra tickets to the show” as he slyly handed us tickets to the second Palladium show!  Thank you Sixthman!  We headed back to our room on a high and to get ready for our 3rd Weezer show in as many days.
For this Weezer show at the Palladium Lounge we were upstairs second row from the balcony with a fantastic view of the band.  Rivers pre game/show ritual was followed with a kick around on stage (this time in a sleeveless Kiss Animalize shirt!).  Again the set was a mix of Singes, album tracks and b-sides.  The three b-sides, Devotion, Susanne and You Gave Your Love To Me Softly, sorely missed from the first Pinkerton shows were given a airing at this show.  All were fantastic especially Susanne.  Memories and Trippin’ Down The Freeway were allot of fun live and much better in a live setting.  Pat sang a version of Frank Blacks Los Angeles which was cool and was a real surprise.  Don’t Let Go was good but like every live version I have heard didn’t really did the mark live.  Tragic Girl was given another outing and was much better at this show.  The Greatest Man That Ever Lived ended the this part of the set and was epic.  I’ve always had a soft spot for this song so it was great to see it live. Karl’s Intermission slideshow was slightly different from the previous night and we waited to experience Pinkerton again.   
Pinkerton was fantastic again but seemed a bit looser at this show.  Maybe the day in the sun made the band slightly forgettable with Rivers for getting the first line of Getchoo and stopping to ask the audience what it was.  Then Brian forgetting that Across The Sea required his keyboard skills on the intro.  Tired of Sex and Falling for You were stronger tonight.  Again we had a blast!  Thank you Sixthman you made our Cruise.

Memories

We gave Wavves a quick look but they started late and were stuffing around a bit so we headed to bed as we would catch them tomorrow.
