More Gaz: Photos & Videos @ Changing Lanes Festival 2011

Right, I haven't done this in a while but here's some cool photos I found on Fasterlouder's website of his very last solo show, Gareth Liddiard at this festival over east. These photos are by someone calling themselves Dovers. Then I also found four new videos on YouTube by someone called Prettycrap. The songs, two from his solo album Strange Tourist with that title track and Blondin Makes An Omelette and two classic The Drones songs with Jezebel and Shark Fin Blues. Well, maybe it's not his very last solo show ever but it's the last one before The Drones tour next month, can I call it their comeback tour? Yes I think so, it's been so long. What is after that? I'm hoping for a new The Drones album being recorded after this tour and being released early next year, 2012 but I'm only guessing here. I really wouldn't mind if he did a second solo album too. So this festival is called Changing Lanes Festival in Sydney on the 17th September, it was just last week which looks kind-off cool but Gareth Liddiard is the best thing about it of-course.









Those flashing lights are a bit annoying but I would sit through anything to hear his songs again, again and again.

Here's a bonus track which is really interesting, on the same day it seems Gaz played or just had a really long jam with Damo Suzuki from the Japanese band called Can and the Sydney/Perth band The Holy Soul. The Holy Soul seem to have played with him before when I looked them up, I found at Repressed Record a $7 mp3 for a something called Dead Man Has No 2nd Chance which is a live recording from a few years ago and has Dan Luscombe playing keyboards on it on it too. The songs are A-side: A Stone Of Fortune and the B-side: Strangers In Blue, can you call mp3 downloads A and B sides? I don't think so but I just did, sorry about that anyway god knows what this song is called. It goes for over forty minutes I think it's pretty dam cool but I should warn you it's pretty weird too. By the way your really can't see a thing someone forgot to turn the lights on, maybe just to be even more freaky.

OK, I promise to get back my favorite 100 Aussie albums in my next post but I had to post these photos and videos because they are just too good not to.
