On Saturday the 17th i had the pleasure of seeing Dan Brodie and the Broken Arrows play with Dallas Crane at the Gaelic Club in Sydney. A very enjoyable event as both bands gave me two of my top 5 rekurds of last year and for them both to be on the same bill was a rare experience. Dallas Crane played second( Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males played first but my friend got stopped for speeeding coz we were already late and ended up missinmg his whole set) and once again proved that they are Australia's most exciting unsigned band with superb renditions of triple j faves TEXTSit on my KneeTEXT and TEXT Sold MeTEXT, as well as their new single TEXT No thru RoadTEXT. Their brand of country punk rock had me seeing that i was seeing television in their heyday but in reality it was one the best bands ever to come out of Melbourne. Dan Brodie came to the stage and mostly let his guitar do the talking. Him and brother CHris on lap steel proceeded to blow Dallas Crane out of the water, which is no mean feat. The Broken Arrows played all the hits such as TEXTJesus try and Save Me, You Make me want to KIll TEXT as well as some of their lesser known songs like TEXT Sara TEXT and TEXTLike A Hurricane. Brodie left the stage after the encore leaving a sense of disapointment throughout the crowd, only because it was ten past twelve and everyone was prepared for more. Overall i rate this gig a four and a half out of five.
ps if anyone lives in Sydney, then i suggest going to see the Mess Hall at the Hopetoun of Friday the 23rd as they are awesome
