The Zoo - Fri Jun 25

It’s all starting up a bit late at The Zoo tonight, but Melbourne’s Reptiles are ready, instruments in hand. Though their brand of punk rock sounds fresh from the garage, they have some interesting sections where they start running around like a half-cut grunge band – quite rough and occasionally exciting.

The formidable Paper And The Plane are a completely different outfit; their swirling rhythms and dynamic vocals easily envelops the audience for the duration of the set – highlighted by the quintet dropping into a searing version of At The Drive In’s Invalid Letter Dept. Anyone still in doubt that the band are one of the brighter stars in the Brisbane scene simply hasn’t seen them yet.

Something With Numbers clearly have the numbers (pun intended) on their side tonight; everybody in The Zoo is clapping and chanting along to popular songs such as Calf Love and Apple Of The Eye (Lay Me Down) from the band’s Perfect Distraction album. Even without being a fan, I found it hard not to enjoy such an energetic performance; you can tell Something With Numbers are just one of those bands that still love the game, rather than being made to play it.

Poll

Is good album artwork/packaging a factor in you deciding whether to buy a CD or just a download?
