Had an amazing weekend.
To Melbourne Friday for Soundwave, to Canberra Saturday for Kitah’s 21st, and to Sydney Sunday for Manchester Orchestra. #3 Cities in 3 Days
I didn’t take many photos, but I did take this one of Manchester Orchestra. They were good. Real good. Maybe the best I have seen them perform, but they are always great.
If you haven’t heard their album Simple Math, do yourself a favour.

This song was originally on the Juno soundtrack.
The following 5 in no particular order are my favourite of recent times. In the past 12 months they’ve all been on high rotation

Contender for music video of the year.
Great video for a great song, I would love to write a review for this album, but I’m not sure I have the words yet.
Manchester Orchestra have grown and matured over the three albums and this album is fantastic in it’s lyrics and it’s winding sound.
I was lucky enough to see them play in Orlando last week, they know how to put on a show. Andy Hull is certainly a significant voice in my collection, his journey is fascinating and relatable as he wrestles with faith and purpose and simple math.
