Mid Youth Crisis - 19th May 2006 - The Arthouse (Melbourne, Vic, Au)

Well last night proved once again that Mid Youth Cisis were and still are one of the greatest punk/hardcore bands in Australia. Even though we only get to see them for a reunion show every couple of years ( thanks to members living overseas) when they play they play harder, faster and with more feeling than anyone. Mid Youth Crisis played a good solid set with a mix of early and later stuff and had the Arthouse temperature rising to summer proportions on a cool and wet autumn night. Melbourne is a great place to live when bands like this play. After spilling onto the footpath after 1am I felt 5 years younger and the ringing in my ears brings back memories of awesome MYC shows gone by. Mid Youth Crisis have played with almost every band I love and will always be the guys on the top of my Best Ever bands list. Thanks for being there after all these years.
One highlight for me was hearing support band A Death in the Family for the first time. Fuckin great stuff, check them out.

TOOL: 10,000 Days

After five long years since their last release, TOOL have released their new album 10,000 Days in Australia before anywhere else. So I headed into JB HiFi to grab my copy. OOhhh-Yeeeaahh, I wasn't let down either. Total TOOL! The artwork it's packaged in is well worth the money alone. It comes with 3D glasses as part of the packaging so you can get the full experience of being tripped out looking at the artwork while listening to an awesome bunch of tracks.
