Winter Tones

wow micheal jackson is 50 today.
thats pretty special. mad prawppps for him and to his face for not having melted of by now.
 


Well anyhoo, last Friday saw us greeted to the massive line as we stepped around the corner of the quaint alleyway of Roxanne Parlor for Wintertones.
With the superb line up presented by mistletoe,  which included bands such as,  Bachelorette (NZ), Love Of Diagrams, Kes Band, Beaches, CRAYON FIELDS! and headliners Beach House (USA).
Unfortunately having got there just in time to reach the final 2 seconds of crayon fields was a disappointment, soon all was forgotten when love of diagrams graced the stage, providing in what some may disagree, but a Melbourne version of sonic youth. The mellow and  laid back  atmosphere for the night was defiantly something to be enjoyed, and if there was an occasion that called for such a time, it was at winter tones.
So  having come back from a smoke downstairs and perhaps in a much more suited mood, we headed over to be greeted by the perfectly labelled "dream pop" and soft tones,  of  beachhouse .  Even from standing behind a pole, the voice of Victoria Legrand- mild,whispery yet smooth was enough to send shivers up your spine. Or in our case to send us to sleep. not in a bad way, like of boredom and shit, but in a good way. you know that good kinda falling asleep.
We also care to thank those lovely couple dancing in the snowflake room for providing us with many hours of entertainment. it was swell.
