The Mountain Goats @ Manning Bar
05/12/2008
They're back. A resplendent, vociferous, ecstatic troupe of performers. A triumph of song and songs, a crystal clear example of why music matters. Especially their music. The music of John. John was unwell, so an April tour was postponed. Now, they are back. Friday night at the Manning Bar was the return of The Mountain Goats. In full triumph. So, we are/were grateful. For their shows are something to hold and treasure. Full of guts and glory, humour and pathos. Respect Oh Goated ones. Much respect.

Baseball
Animal Kingdom
Baseball don't hold back. They never have. Their live show has often been mistakenly identified as a demonstration of deranged, mental patients trialling a new experimental drug. Animal Kingdom bottles this energy as best as it can into thirty-five minutes of unsettling confusion.
