Besides kids shows I don't think I have seen a live music act since Xavier Rudd in Wollongong in 2006 when I was pregnant with DS1. That's really bad!

Sigh. November, Pearl Jam. We used to see gigs very often once upon a time.
The last live music I would have wanted to see was Jeff Martin a few weeks ago. I wouldn't mind seeing Henry Rollins next week either but I probably won't.

We tend to do Musicals rather than gigs these days...last one was Priscilla, or was it Phantom? It has been a year or so, maybe two...

Flaming Lips in Sydney, July 2009 - one of the best nights of my life to date
Being from Canberra, it's hard to get to anything decent, coz of the travel issue, but the Lips were so worth it.

Garbage in Canberra in 2005 (can't believe it was nearly 5 years ago

) the night before they announced they were taking an extended hiatus as a band. The venue was tiny and it was brilliant, Shirley is so much awesome and I (still) want to run away with her.

Reel big fish in February this year, supported by The Aquabats.
Went to the Australia day Them crooked vultures show too, one of the best concerts I've been to. Mesmerised by Josh Homme.

Okkervil River in May 2009. I had never seen them live before and didn't really 'get' their music.
I am a fanatic now. I would challenge any teen girl to out fangirl me.

Spandau Ballet and Tears for Fears last week. They were in brilliant form, even after 25 years!
I also saw Simple Minds after the Grand Prix a few weeks ago and was blown away. I don't usually stand in the rain for 2 hours for anyone, but they were well worth it.
80's forever!
