Crowded House Concert
Yup, my first Australian concert happened last night. And, honestly, I can’t say I regret it. I mean, I chose a band which I only knew one song and bought CDs a few weeks before the concert. But, in the end, I had a lot of fun.
The show started with an Irish band called “The Walls”. They are not bad, but I don’t think they are good either. They played about 5 songs and left the stage for “Augie March”. It seems they are somewhat famous around, even if I never heard about them, as some people really cheered when they entered the stage. I can’t really say if they are good or bad, as the sound was too loud to get most of it. And the lightning sucked. The guys may be good, but their crew is really sloppy and ruined the show.
Then, Crowded House. Yes, they are actually good. I mean, REALLY GOOD! Either that or they were on playback all the time (but I guess every band gets good after playing a long time.) Sometimes, they would stop between songs and do jokes and play around, do jokes between them and so on. It was the kind of show that the band was having fun in the stage and decided to bring the audience to it. It was fun for people in the audience and for the band.

I took some pictures, but my camera sucks on dark environments. The ones that didn’t suck too much I uploaded to Flickr. You can check them here. All those and the ones that sucked will be uploaded to my picture site later.
