Gigtastic

2 very different gigs for M&I last weekend.

On Friday there was a cultured affair, Sufjan Stevens at the Sydney Opera House under the aegis of the Sydney Festival. Abstract art-pop played by a man in a dayglo outfit, 2 backing singers with knowingly naff dance routines and two trombone players.



On Saturday we were at the deeply unpleasant Coogee Bay Hotel for Primal Scream doing their classic Screamadelica LP, an album without which M&I would never have met. Rocked out version of drugged out classics played by scuzzy Glaswegian boys and a bass player with any number of claims to fame.



Totally different, as I say, but both already contenders for gig of the year. Magnificent.
