The Answer
Yes the answer to 70’s inspired rock is Irish band The Answer. Playing at the always reliable venue for solid rock acts Fitzroy’s The Evelyn, the band blew the fanatical crowd away. The support acts leaved much to be desired but once The Answer arrived on stage, they owned it and had the crowd in the palm of their sweaty rock hands. I was there to take some photos but I was already planning on seeing them anyway and there was no way I was leaving after 3 songs. The lead singer definitely had a Robert Plant thing going on which is always fun to witness. Plenty of rock poses. At one point I was thinking this is what it must have been like to see a really rockin’ band back in the 70s. They’re currently supporting Eagles of Death Metal around the country and I highly recommend you check them out if you’re into that sort of sound.

And this week just gets better as I shall be shooting The Mars Volta tonight! My hearing is still quite fucked after The Answer gig though so I’m off to buy some decent earplugs! (not those shit foam one’s that muffle all the acoustics)
