Fringe & Festival of Arts 2019

Post by Pseudo »

Ok kids, you know the drill: tell us what you want to see, tell us what you have seen, and tell us if it was any good.

Thumbing through the uncomfortably large fringe guide this morning, a couple of things grabbed my interest:

- Orbital and Severed Heads, one night only at RCC, unfortunately a Sunday.

- The Tiger Lillies present Edgar Allen Poe's Haunted Palace, two week stint at RCC / Elder Hall.

Pussy Riot has some appeal, but only due to their notoriety. Don't know that I'll bother.

Also noticed Greg Fleet in "This is not a love song" at Grand Central / Dom Polski. Saw this a couple of years ago and enjoyed it very much. Check it out.

So far the missus and I are going to see Shooter Williamson on the 15th of March, looking forward to it!

After seeing their cover set of Pearl Jams MTV Unplugged a few years back I really want to go to see the White Collar Hero's cover set of Nirvana's MTV Unplugged at the Parks Community Centre which is on the 16th of March. They're also playing on the 15th which obviously clashes with Shooters show. They did their Pearl Jam cover set at the Parks last night.

Went to the Gala tonight hosted by Kitty Flanagan. Had Tahir, Charlie Pickering, Eddie Ifft and about 7 others and went for almost 3 hours, was great value for $50.

I was at Friday night's Pearl Jam set. They've lost Brad their lead guitarist, a very accomplished musician, who went overseas to further his career, he's been replaced by another quality guitarist but he's hard to fully replace as he was very, very good.

Little bit disorganized at the venue, bar didn't open until nearly show time, people were running late and the band waited for them which I was understanding of but still, who can't Google map a place?

Great night, played the set then finished with some Nirvana and STP tracks before a big ol' singalong with the crowd pumping out Pearl Jam's Better Man, great way to end a top night.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Just realised They Might Be Giants performing at the FOA next week. Unfortunately a Sunday evening which makes it awkward. We shall see...

Don't you have an ongoing eye problem?

Can't see yourself going to work on Monday.

Booked to go see Comedians of Humanity next Friday night at Glutony, thought overall there was a lack of quality comedians at the Fringe this year.

Did the comedy pub crawl last night.
$35 for 4 comedians over 3 hours.
Started at ETC then Belgian Beer Cafe, balcony at ex PJs and Austral.
Was pretty good, the last guy was awesome but that may be skewed due to levels of intoxication by that stage.
Great value and a good night

Just went and watched the eldest and her ballet school do a performance in Gluttony, they did well. Someone was offering $10 tickets to see Tim Ferguson on my way out, would've been a good show I reckon.
