Met up with Jon for a few pre-gig beers at the Courthouse and an
Indian at Tamana's. I hadn't been to the Annandale before, and
after seeing The Maladies give their least laid back performance yet, I
got the impression that people expect rock when they go to the Annandale. Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males, nephew of Paul Kelly according to a guy I
met at the bar, was also a bit harder-edged than I had been lead to
believe. The Tucker B's put on a strange mix of sort-of-punk and soft rock,
somewhat similar in my hazy memory to Metallica's ambit.
