Tonight I went to the Empress to see some bands, playing at the launch of
the Pacific Highway compilation CD (a collection of live recordings from a
3RRR show).
Anyway, I missed the first band (Long Weekend), but saw the other three.
Royal Chord sounded a bit like some '70s guitar instrumentals I remembered
from ages ago; I got the impression that they were the sort of thing you
could expect a trucker with a Burt Reynolds mustache to be listening to on
his 8-track whilst driving down Route 66. Sleepy Township sounded somewhat
more upbeat than their name suggested (I'd have thought they'd be some kind
of minimal atmospheric shoegazer thing, or perhaps something like Sir).
And Sodastream were OK, though didn't really form an impression on me.
