Yes, my kind of post! Haha. We've been waiting 30 years to see Bungle live! I'm so stoked, but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer it to be a career spanning set rather than the one album - but beggars can't be choosers. Sadly I wasn't able to pull off the double-feature of going up to Akl the day before to see Dinosaur Jr as well, but have booked a trip to Sydney at the end of March to see the half-reincarnated Pantera - another band I've been waiting 30 years to see live again! See you in the ageing pit, Simon lol.
Didn’t want to rub it in - was using the Nash/Bungle spectrum as an example of broad taste, but I’ll prob snag a DinoJ ticket while I’m up there eh. Be rude not to :)
But yeah, see you on the Sunday night. I’ll be right up the front, for at least 90 seconds, aka the first song and a half :)
Oh pretty keen to catch Mogwai in Wgtn before I go, yep. It will then rival the great 2010 4-night-4-gig run between Wgtn and Akld of: Calexico, Pixies, Lady Gaga and Harry Connick Jr! :)

Nice, but you're being lazy. It should be a 4 day bender of Mogwai, QOTSA, Dino Jr and Bungle. I expect nothing less from you lol.

Simon I shall make a prediction about those gigs!
Graham Nash:
Average age of punter: 70
Male/Female mix: 50/50
% of old band t-shirts: 15
Mr Bungle:
Average age of punter: 40
Male/Female mix: 90/10
% of old band t-shirts: 60
Number of people attending both gigs: 1
Neither are my cup of tea at all but I think I’d prefer both band and audience at Mr Bungle.
