So after arriving home from Surry Hills Festival and blogging at Nadia's yesterday I got ready and picked up by fellow classmate at JMC, Amanda.
We trekked it out to Manly Fisho's to watch our History of Pop Music teacher's band "Swivelhead" They are a sort of Alternative, Rock/Metal band with a Girl singer, but nothing like Evanescence. If any of you are familiar with Lacuna Coil, they show some similarities to them.
Unfortunately (for us) they were headlining the gig so we had to wait until around 11pm to see them play.
The other bands weren't making it much easier for us to keep our patience either, two of them being, dare I say it, "shithouse" with songs all sounding the same and just being overall not fun to listen to, aswell as them having no sense of stage movement what so ever.
We were bored to say the least, but atleast there was a bar for us to drown it in.
Finally Swivelhead came on and were absolutely mindblowing, I'm not sure if they have a myspace page or website but I will find out and post it on here along with other bands that should be checked out.
With our teacher (Clinton) on drums, his wife doing lead vocals and guitar, a 2nd or 3rd year student from JMC ever so animated on bass and a crazy lead guitarist busting out face melting solo's, they were fucking worth the wait.
After the performance we were all buzzing for our band's performances tomorrow at The Gaelic Club in Surry Hills. Hopefully we can try to match that or atleast take some of their tips and tricks and work them into our show. (Yeah Eastern Shakedown!)
Well wish me good luck and good health for tomorrow.
Alisha. <3
