Perth

Spoon @ the Astor.

It’s amazing how much impact a venue can have on the overall impact and atmosphere of a gig. On Friday the May 14, I dusted off the ol’ leather jacket on a chilly night and went and witnessed two amazing sets; Spoon, supported by The Leap Year at Astor theatre. This venue is quickly becoming one of my favourite venues Perth has to offer, everything from the old school neon sign, to the classy service. The detailing of the stage itself is really amazing - it almost makes you feel like you are in some kind of a time warp. maybe a back to the future style where you could have easily been dancing next to your mum who is about to tune your dad. (yuck, no one wants to think of that.)

The very modest support act The Leap Year once again had the intimidating task of being the entrée for a very anticipated main meal. With very chilled out tunes and vocals to warm the crowed, everyone stayed mostly seated apart from those who wanted a prize spot for Spoon.

With rough sanded harmonies and an almost geometric (= pertaining to geometry, decorated with regular lines and shapes) the lead singer Britt Daniels spread his infectious groove amongst the music lovers. Blessing us with both new and old tracks, everyone was very satisfied and not wanting dessert. It’s always so impressing when a band pushes past your expectations of their album and nails it on the night

Until next time,

Josh.
