Krafty Kuts on friday night was very good - enjoyed a nice 3 hour set, though it is the least 'breaksy' I have heard from him. Stealth was the club he was playing at which was a nice place. It had very minimal decoration around (similar to the dance area at moon bar) and was basically 2 of these style areas on top of each other, although bigger. It is also attached to the 'live' venue, Rescue Rooms, which they also had open and had some live acts playing in there as well. So with the 2 clubs joined together it seemed like 1 big place.
Sunday I went to see Reverend and the Makers play at Rock City which is a really good venue which has won heaps of awards. It's layout is almost identical to the main area at The Arena, but its bigger and not so dodgy looking. The sound was amazing, particularly the drums. The opening act were The Ting Tings, a guy/girl duo on drums and guitar but they seemed to be short 1 person because they had a lot of bass and keys on backing tracks.
I went along to see Reverend and the Makers having only heard 2 tracks and was suprised to see they are a 7 piece featuring guitar, bass, drums, keys, synths, electronic drums/samples and vocals. The place was pretty full and all the songs sounded so much better than listening to them afterwards on their album, which sounds kinda flat in comparison. They played for about 70mins, with Reverend saying random poems in between songs. Apparently once a band starts playing here you are meant to throw any drink you have in the air, because when they started there was just beer galore soaking the crowd, which i found a bit odd.
