I've never seen you cry so much at a gig. Stu, don’t forget that LeAnn Rimes gig you took us too in 1996. I’ve never seen you cry so much at a gig.

Gibbo drove, and we ended up on the princes highway at one point, I think.

No doubt Nick, who has commented above, will remember it too. Fridge from Tasmania played first. I was still at high school and all ages gigs were all too rare. Also, I seem to have a good memory for Ramones covers - Tumbleweed played Rock'n'Roll High School. I remember really liking End of this Day by Screamfeeder too. You Ami were touring the Coprolalia EP I think. That KS gig is a strong contender for the one I was after, but as you say it could be a bit hard to know for sure since he did play pretty often. I just remember that it was lots of stuff from the selft-titled album that came out around then ... but I'm sure that describes all his gigs in '95!. I think I liked the next tour even better, when he played with a horn section. I guess that was around '97. I never went to the Phoenician actually. I remember there being shows there but I just didn't get out to them. Dirty Three with Nick Cave at Feedback! Amazing. I saw Cave at the Hordern on Dec 17 1994 (supported by Kim Salmon), I guess he was still around after that tour. As mentioned above somewhere I didn't know the Dirty Three back then. Thanks Brizzla, you contribution is much appreciated. Cool, I remember the one at the Wentworth Building too. No doubt Nick, who has commented above, will remember it too.

Here's some stuff that may/not help. 1. Don't remember this actual SFeeder show, but remember seeing SF, You Am I and Tumbleweed at an all ages at the Wentworth Building 18/6/93, a cracking show. 14. Have got a date for one KS gig at Feedback, it was 27/5/95....tho he played there quite a few times from memory around this time. They were in great form and seemed to be up in Sydney every couple of months. 15. Remember seeing UL at the Phoenician 8/4/95, from vague memory a slide show in background and lots of songs off of Dream it Down. Saw Dirty Three with Nick Cave at Feedback 10/1/95 - a great show and a great version of Running Scared i think it was. There's my two cents! Nothing wrong with a bit of reminiscing!

That was also with the Earthmen but they didn't play in Sydney. I found mention of a couple of other bands that I think I probably saw some time at the Metro: Autohaze and Love Me, though not sure that these were with the Undies. The latter might have been with Ed Kuepper. Just done a bit more searching, saw that the Undies played a show with Drop City in Melbourne in Aug ’96 so it was probably the same tour.

Yes, I remember Drop City supporting the Undies. Funny, I don't think of them as ripping off MBV now (not any more than say the Undies themselves ... more influenced by than ripping off). I still remember a band (from Melb I think) with big masks, I think they were of their own faces. I also remember the Undies using the pictures in the background at some Metro gigs. Scenes of Las Vegas during "Las Vegas" as well. At one of the Metro gigs Phillipa Nihill came on and sang Losin' It and I Was Right, though as well as the two in '96 there was one in August '97 supported by Gaslight Radio & The Hungry Ghosts (man they were good!). The NYE one was at the Globe on Dec 31 1998. It was the last time I saw them. The drummer is still playing with Glenn in GB3 I think. Look out for GB3, at the recent show "I Was Right" was quite faithful to the original version. Well, I wouldn’t be sure of the Du story unless he confirms it.

Classic stuff, hadn't heard that before. Stu, I remember seeing Drop City supporting the UL at the Metro. Might have been on the same bill as Glide - can't remember. I think at the time you said DC were ripping off My Bloody Valentine. Seem to remember UL doing "Beautiful World" against a projection of the world. Also remember being sick as a dog seeing UL at Newtown on a New Years Eve. They had a 'new' drummer and bass player. By the way, played "Leaves Me Blind" last night. Love the guitar sound they got on tracks like "I Was Right" and "Promenade". http://www.myspace.com/dropcityband Du bumping into Tim Rogers! Classic stuff, hadn’t heard that before.

I definitely never saw the Dirty Three way back then. The first time I ever saw them was at Homebake in late '96. I never new them until the Horse Stories album which must have been around then - though I do remember having heard stories of some band featuring a crazy guy with a violin supporting Pavement at the Phoenician Club back in '94 thereabouts. I know of one gig I definitely saw with you at Balmain - Swirl and Trillion at the Cat & Fiddle but that was December '97. Swirl were coming back after a lineup change and were billed as Dark Star. I remember other gigs at the Three Weeds in Rozelle, and the Bridge Hotel in Balmain ... but it sounds like you are describing the Cat & Fiddle. Just the wrong band, and wrong year! The only gig I would have been at way back in '94 in the Balmain area was the Birkenhead Point Tavern one with Kim Salmon ... were you at that? I have a feeling you might have been.

I didn't like Gerling the first time I saw them but I thought they were great the second time around. I guess that must have been the Screamfeeder gig. I don't know if you saw Quadbox at the Collector. I thought so. I remember Peter coming and being critical of the band. Are The Chips are Ready and The Stock Aitken Waterman Experience gigs on your list? Do you count gigs that you actually played in (such as the odd Chips are Ready gig; love that God song)? It's very interesting that you don't remember The Dirty Three. Or of course my memory is crap. But I am sure that I saw The Dirty Three in Balmain. I didn't know Balmain very well at the time but I think it might have been lower Darling Street or thereabouts, i.e. between the shops/restaurants and Victoria Rd. I think it was at a pub on Darling Street and it might have been one of the first gigs we went to so maybe around 1994. I'm sure I've seen them live and I'm sure it wasn't the Metro. I've not seen many gigs at the Metro. That’s right. I didn’t like Gerling the first time I saw them but I thought they were great the second time around.
